August 18 2014
In photoshop control+backspace will fill the background with the color under the first one at the bottom left corner. Control+z is how you undo the last action, it is your best friend. Today we used the marqui tool to make different squares in different layers. Layers are really important, Use them! As you saw above, we made these squares different colors, to mimick Joseph Alber's work. He made pieces similar to those I made today. It was pretty fun to do.
August 19 2014
Today we learned how to use the stroke tool in photoshop. It is under layers, layer styles and stroke. Modify it to your specifications and then you have a border. We also learned how to use the paint bucket tool. Right click gradient then click the paint bucket. Use G for a short cut. Eye dropper is for colors, select a color and then what ever you choose to color with it, will be the same color as that other color (i hope that made sense).

One is under filter-> pixelate -> and colour halftone. the other is under Filter -> filter gallery -> then sketch and halftone. there are 3 options circle, dots, and lines. do whatever you want with them. make sure you slect a ceritan portion of the face before you do this. and make sure your pallette (the one in the bottom left hand corner) and change your two colours to something compatible. I did nicholas cage
