Unit 2: Graphic Design

Task 1:

We are going to be completing our first finished product

Introduction to Photoshop

Task 2.1

Download the folder of pictures HERE

Open the file called underwater in Adobe Photoshop. (All files in this folder were downloaded from pixabay and therefore do not infringe on copyrights)
Unlock the background layer
Add all images of the underwater creatures to the file
Using free transform, adjust the size of the creatures to match the rest of the picture
Unlock the treasure chest layer
Adjust the order of the layers so that the rings show up in front of the treasure chest
Delete the photo of the kangaroo as this is an underwater themed picture
Move the turtle in front of the shark and change the opacity to match the shark behind it
Using the quick selection tool and the select and mask feature, remove the backgrounds of the animal pictures so that we have isolated the animals on those layers
Using the text tool, add your name to the bottom of the image
Upload both your .png and .psd files to your Unit 2 folder in Google Drive
BONUS: Try to place fish 3, BEHIND the underwater statue
