Draft Photoshop Assignment

I decided to make some what of a comic book cover for this assignment, I thought it would be funny. It only relates to my topic because it includes both my dogs because they sometimes have little “arguments”.

I took a lot of photos of Tango and Rosie for this project but all of them were a little weird and/or crazy. Mainly because I let them run around my Grandmother’s pasture and they got the zoomies. I tried to come up with something that fit with the pictures I had taken. Thus why I did a comic book cover, Tango looks like he’s giving everyone the stink eye while Rosie is running around like crazy.

I looked at some comic book covers and movie covers to get some inspiration. I made the title bigger because it’s one of the first things you’d notice. Plus a little note about what the comic would be about. The top left photo is when they were hanging out together and having a good time. The picture to the right of Rosie was a mid running at me shot. She was kind of in the perfect action movie stance. I got the cape image from flicker, I will post the link below. I used photoshop to add color to things, I drew yellow in her eyes and a lightning bolt on her lil cape. I thought it added to her Velocity dog character. I used a random superhero name generator to help me come up with names. Yes, I know they’re cringey I tried my best. Tango is giving a stink eye look and I figured only cringey villains wear fedoras so I gave him one. The fedora is also from flicker, I will post the link below.

I used a lot of the paint brush, trying different sizes and adjusting the hardness/smoothness. I also used the eraser a lot for my many, many mistakes. I used the eraser also to get rid of all the background in my photos.

It took a long while for me to understand how to work photoshop, I wasn’t getting it. So it took me quite a bit of time, I’m still not really pleased with it but since I have no photoshop experience I gave myself a break. The search bar for tools was super helpful because sometimes I had trouble finding what I needed. Adobe also has some practice tutorials it will teach you, showing how to use most of the tools and I found that helpful.
