I Was there - 2010 British Open

This is me in the Final Round at the 2010 British Open at St.Andrews Golf Club in Scotland. This Picture started out with Louis Oousthuizen (Winner of 2010 British Open) teeing off on the 18th hole in the final round. What i did to make the picture the way it is, was used the magnetic lasso to get Louis out of the picture, then took a picture of me from Facebook, and used the magnetic lasso to get me into the picture, i used the airbrush tool to edit the pieces from where Louis was. I also had to add the golf club to the picture, to do this, i used the line tool for the shaft, and then shrunk a picture of a club head, and used the magnetic lasso to make the club head by its self

Spaghetti Dinner Poster


This is my Poster for DR. Hope Spaghetti Dinner. For the background of the poster i used a picture of a bowl of spaghetti. The words on the poster all describe the events and activities that will be taking place at the dinner. For each of the words on the poster I used different warp text functions. Also for the Prizes and Happy face picture I used the magnetic lasso to crop the picture to the way it is.
