In this Read Poster assignment I expanded my knowledge on the use of layers. I learned how to select my body and delete the green screen. When I did this, by hair and shirt still had a green tint on it. I used the color replacement tool to get rid of the greenish hue.
The hardest part of the assignment was to make the back ground. I used the same shade of blue and made it darker at the bottom, and lighter at the top. I then added some sparkles. After that I "covered" the whole background with mosaic tiles. This added the textured look.
I also learned how to make myself look not so "copy and pasted" in. I turned the opacity down, and added a drop shadow. I also tried to blur the edges.
This final and easiest step was to add the text. I used the overlay setting to make it more interesting.
This assignment made me more familiar with the effects of Photoshop, while being fun and worthwhile in the process.
