All About Me Project

All About Me Project

In order to complete the project, "All About Me" I started by using the paint bucket tool and making the background black. After that, I went on Google Images and saved a multitude of images having to do with things I like/like to do (including the background image of the dashboard of a car.) Next, I went to Bridge, opened the images one by one, and used the Quick Selection Tool to cut out the part of the picture I wanted. Then, I used the keys "Ctrl" "c" and "Ctrl" "v" onto my "All About Me" project. (That should have copied the image onto my project window.)
Once I had the image I wanted on my project I used the Refine Edges tool and Magic Wand tool to clean up the edges on each image. Once I had all my images placed where I wanted them, I chose the Text tool to write my name on the picture and changed the color to the one of my choice. 

Peppers

Peppers

In order to complete this project I had to use the "Quick Selection" tool to cut out each pepper. After cutting out my selected pepper, I used the keys "Ctrl" and "c" then "Ctrl" and "v". When the peppers each had an exact copy, I used the "refine edge" tool to make the sides smooth, feathered, and to show as much contrast as needed. Next, I searched on Google for a cutting board and found one I liked. I saved and opened the cutting board in Bridge, and used the quick selection tool, then the "Ctrl" "c" and "Ctrl" "v". After refining the edge and arranging the peppers on the cutting board as needed, I was finished.
