Photo Collage


This is a photo collage I am in the process of making for a course I am taking called Interactive Multimedia Design and Production. I call it Fun With Photoshop. Let me know what you think. The second version is not, in my mind, as successful as the first.

Photoshop & Textile Designs

I recently took on a new position at The University of Texas as a teaching assistant for a computer assisted textile design course. The course uses Photoshop to create unique designs by methods of color reduction, color replacement, and a myriad of other techniques. Here is a sampling of a quick color reduction and replacement from lab.

To me this process reminds me of silk screening t-shirts. When you color reduce to just two or three colors you can get these really great effects with minimal effort.

As a teaching assistant for this course I am excited to learn the creative techniques they are applying to textile design. In journalism these kinds of alterations would be out of the question as it is unethical to alter a photograph's content.
