Quarter one of multimedia class dealt entirely with Adobe Photoshop. We were asked to do the following projects...
Project 1 - Self-Portrait
The first project was a simple collage of interests. At this point we had very
little skill in using Photoshop and the goal of the project was to get
a feel for importing pictures, and creating various simple
effects.

Project 2 - Copy of a Masterpiece
The second project, for me, was the most challenging. What we were asked to
use our skill of effects, brush sizes and types, and color blending to
copy any picture. I chose the cover of Kid A, a CD by Radiohead. It was
very hard and long, and I didn't quite finish. The one on the right is

Project 3 - Group Photo
The third project we were asked to do was to put ourself in or take ourselves
out of a photograph or picture. We needed to smooth out the edges and make
them seamless enough to fool any onlooker. I chose a Fight Club poster
and put my face in place of Edward Norton's. The one on the right is the
one with me in it.

Project 4 - Final Project
For our final project we were asked simply to create an original graphic using
Photoshop and incorporate some kind of text effect. We needed our skills
from previous projects in addition to thorough skill with filters to create
an interesting font. I made two final projects, a poem and graphic for
the Green Bay Packers and a tribute graphic to Radiohead
