Tutorial Reviews for Week 6

1) “Art Building Tutorial” written by Kate Bingaman and demonstrated by Jimmy
In class on May 5th, Jimmy conducted a demonstration on how to produce our next assignment. The tutorial was very interesting and taught our Art 120 class how to put our designs on the Art building in Photoshop. This tutorial is really important to our class and is really helpful and explains all the steps. I will be definitely referring to this tutorial all week while working on our Art building assignment! (The link for this tutorial was sent as an attachment in an e-mail message so I was unsure how to post the link)

2) “Deleting Whites in Photoshop” by Ward Jenkins

I just want to start out by saying Ward Jenkins is AMAZING! Our class had the pleasure of Ward Jenkins visiting our class, share his life and projects, and perform a tutorial on how to delete white space from a scanned image and to add color to that image. This tutorial is very interesting and was fun to watch live. Ward Jenkins personality and humor comes out in the tutorial which allows the tutorial to be watcher friendly and interesting to watch.

3) “Animating a Wipe/Fade Photo Transition in Photoshop CS3!” Tutorial

In this tutorial you will learn how to use the timeline animation tool. This tutorial is really cool and informative. I had no idea you could animate in Photoshop, I cannot believe no one told me about this. The man narrating this tutorial used the timeline animation tool, two pictures, and a mask to make a photo transition…neat!

4) “Creating a Gallery Style Photo with Frame and Vignette with Actions!” Tutorial
http://www.tutvid.com/tutorials/photoshop/tutorials/createGalleryStylewActions.php
The tutorial narrator shows you how to create a frame and caption box to a photograph in two ways. He quickly creates this effect by just using the action called framer as well as doing all the steps from scratch. He incorporates many tools like the sharpen tool, adjusting canvas size, and the text tool when he created the effect from scratch. (Note: The narrator is a funny guyJ)

5) “Full Fantasy Painting Tutorial! Start to Finish!”
http://www.tutvid.com/tutorials/photoshop/tutorials/fantasyPainting.php
The narrator of this tutorial used many tools to create a “fantasy” image. What made this tutorial interesting and personalized was that he created his own tools to make the image. Some of the tools he created were his own color gradient and cloud brush. (Note: This tutorial is much longer than other tutorials I have read and watched.)
