Israel Sanchez Midterm

In my midterm I started out making a gaming banner but I didn't like it to much, so I decided to make another banner. I am a ducks fan and they have a big game coming up with week, so I decided to make a banner for a website for duck fans. I did like this banner much better then my gaming banner just because the gaming banner was to plain I thought. I used the quick selection tool then clicked "Similar" to select the photos I used because most of there back grounds were one color and make it easy. The more tricky one was the football players because I had to really zoom in and select inside the face mask. For the background and the navigation bar, I used the gradient tool and gave it a black blending look and for the name of the site I used a drop shadow due to the name being the same color as the background. I did use a out glow for the football players because I thought I looked cool when I was messing around with it. Overall, I found this project really fun .
