For my tutorials I did the beach layout and http://psdvibe.com/2008/12/07/design-studio-header/



















For my final project web sit mock up I came up with these Kuler numbers (fffc19-b21212-ff0000-1485cc-0971b2).
My image is called finalproject_kenavdeef.psd.
I first started with a purple background with a beveled and embossed effect. I then have a picture background of equipment that is blured. Next I have 3 shape layers that for text that have a drop shadow and color overlay of red. I then have white text with a drop shadow on the shapes. I have a picture of myself where I cut the background out and reduduced the picture size. I have another picture of the equipment that is also reduced in size. I then cut out the American Guild of court videographers logo and reduced the size. Next I used the stamp pad to copy the guild logo and used it behind my picture. At the top is the banner layer that is blue. I imported some text for the navigation and have a black stripe with a cut out for the active page on the website. At the very top I imported my business logo A/V Digital and some yellow text with shadow and outer glow effect. I also used a custom shape tool for a tape reel on the top right corner with effects. I had dificulties using or finding applications using some of the tools you wanted us to use. I had no use for the the pen, dodge, polygon tools. I did use the blend modes on just about every layer, filters I used the gaussian blur on the equipment layer to blur the effect. I also used the quick selection tool to cut me out of the background. I then used the stamp to copy the guild logo and place the image behind me. I used the gradient on the background layer to vary the purple layer.
The tools that worked the best for me are the quick tool for removing a background from objects and blend modes for enhancing backgrounds.
The tools I did use were the Blend modes, filters, quick selection, stamp, and gradient tools. these were the tools that gave me desired effects.
My experience with this project is a little confusing by not ever building a website, but effective by learning the new tools that are CS4 than my previous version photoshop 5.
