UPDATED PBDS 501 Portrait Retouching for a Mature Audience

I decided to expand on what we learned in class, retouching photos. 
BEFORE IMAGE

AFTER IMAGE 
I only worked on her left half of her face , the side as you face her.

TECHNIQUE

1. I used the Surface Blur Filter to smooth the skin. 

2. I whitened the teeth by using the Quick Selection tool and painted a Quick Mask on the teeth. I refined the edges by using Refine Edge and increasing the Feather value. I then used Replace Color to change the color.

3. I used the Patch tool to retouch wrinkles, moles, and sagginess.

PBDS 502 Folded Brochure

I like this folded brochure, its referred to as a gate fold. When closed you see the hands slightly apart, with a small space between to represent small companies. When you open it the hands are much farther apart representing large "market sharks" companies. The back of the image is simple with needed details given.

Magazine Ad

I like that the designer used Blueprint Special as a play on  Blueplate Special in the article comparing food and architecture. I appreciate the grid, which makes the text easily readable.

Ads with Text



This ad, to the left, is simple yet impactful.   You have to think about it , close it, and it only uses words, actually the choice of one word: drive or drink. Because as Seagrams says here, you shouldn't do both.   The ad to the right is similar in that it uses few words to deliver a meaningful message.

This ad presents the word iceberg in the same position as an actual iceberg. Similar to our last assignment to present text as what we are trying to represent. But they were able to use the color and shape of the ocean ;-)
