PostCards

The Purpose:

In Photoshop I learned how to create clipping masks on my text to make unique images. The reason I did this was to learn how to make more personal edits and cards.

The Process:

I started off by typing my name and adding pictures to fill them in. For a personal touch I added some dots at the bottom and put a clipping mask on them as well. Next I added that name onto a new background and added some extra text. Finally I created my real postcard by adding text and other images.  

Things Learned: 

By doing this project I learned how to compile many objects together and create something new out of them. I also practiced adjusting the opacity and blend modes. Overall, I learned much and I am excited to keep practicing my skills.

My Brand:

I incorporated  my brand into all of these cards. In the first one I was just learning, but I still included images that represent me.

The pictures in the first postcard were taken by me and they show topics that I am interested in. For example, it has pictures of my friends and nature which are two of many topics that I am interested in.

In the second card I used the name clipping mask from the first card and put in onto a background of a mountain. This time though, I left the first A in my name black because my middle name starts with an A and I feel like leaving it blank symbolizes that it is me and I still have many more adventures to live. Also I chose to have the background be mountains because I love snow, skiing and Colorado.

Finally, I tied together everything I learned and added again, snowboarding/skiing, ski lifts, snowflakes, snowy tree and my name with my interests. In the end, my brand is being me and including everything that I love in my life.
