Mid Term #8 -John Hardiman

For Midterm 8 I took a family picture

I then cropped myself out and created a head shot.

I touched up the head shot using the blur tool and other tools to eliminate smile lines, wrinkles and blemishes on my forehead, neck and nose.  While I was at it i eliminated some red eye effect and did a small bit of teeth whitening.  I was careful to not overdo the corrections so as to appear cartoonish.

Mid Term #10 -John Hardiman

For my Mid Term 10 assignment I created a picture of a house, two children with balloons and a dog using vector art built into Microsoft word.  I utilized various techniques to change the object features including: size, position, color, fill color, fill texture and even fill patterns.  I used both standard shapes and free drawn elements in the picture.  Click here to go to word Document

Mid Term #9 John Hardiman

For this exercise i created a course diagram in Microsoft Word which represents the first part of the MT35101 Discovering Computer Graphics course as directed using various shapes, colors and lines.  I included my name in on of the shapes as directed. I then took a screen capture of the word document and saved as a jpeg image to post to the blog. Link to Word Document

Mid Term #7 John Hardiman

For this exercise i downloaded a portrait of John Wayne from the web.  Since his image was the focal point of the portrait, there was no need to crop the photo.  I re-sized the image to the appropriate size in Photoshop and copied the logo from exercise A2 in our online book and pasted it into Photoshop as a new image.  I selected the black border on the rectangular image and removed it.  Zooming in, i removed remaining pixels outside the circle.  I re-sized this image to the correct size to cover the subjects eyes and pasted and positioned the logos.  I then added a black rectangular bottom banner to the photo and added text as directed.  I saved the file in the original PSD format preserving layers as well as JPRG format to post to the blog.  Link to PSD File

Mid Term #6 John Hardiman
