As my last project I wanted to do something fun with Photoshop. I really have enjoyed the last 6 weeks and loved learning and using my imagination to play with my own photos. This last project came from the idea I had from one of the young children I was babysitting for. He was jumping around the room pretending he was Batman and that is when I thought of a child superhero. The pieces tell the story of Super Stoutt and how the city has become his playground. He loves his toys and games but in order to continue playing he must keep them all safe. Whether the villain is the spilled chocolate milk or the dangerous Lego Bridge, Super Stoutt is there to save the day. The pieces consisted of using Quick Selection Tool to separate the background from Stoutt, Brush Tool for creating a brighter cape and play set, Healing Tool to fix the imperfections, and the Eraser Tool to smooth the edges. I wanted to give the pieces a more animated feel therefore I used the filter to distort the image and change the brush strokes. I also used the different blending techniques to pull the layers together for the “playful” backdrop and even used the blending layer to give a more windblown, fabric feel. The adjustments were made to the color balance and the vibrancy of the pieces. Over all these last few weeks I have really enjoyed using my imagination for this artwork. I love to paint but over the years I have not had as much time to be creative and by taking this class I have been able to do what I adore.
