Program: Photoshop

Date: April 1st, 2015

Course: COMM 130

Instructor: Brother Kerr

Objectives:

Process: I use photoshop for this design. I pick a background image and made sure that it was the correct size. I added the butterfly and the flower images and added a mask to each. I wanted the flowers to look like they were growing out of her head. So I used a 30% opacity brush and made all the images lighter so you could still see the hair under them. I added type using colors and fonts that would compliment the color scheme; I used the a different tone of the blue butterflies for the font.
