In case you don’t already know, I’m in school at NSCC for an associates degree in Web design. At the rate of one class per semester, I should have a degree in about 5 more years (ugh!).  But I’m learning a lot and I’ve been able to apply these new skills at my job already.

So this semester is another Photoshop class, but this one is more about how to use the tools to make graphics in general, whereas the last class was more about making small graphics specifically for Web sites. Anyway, the assignment this week was to create a sports poster using selection and masking tools and techniques with the provided images of Vince Young from the Tennessee Titans. I personally would rather have done a poster for the Predators, but the teacher didn’t take a vote

I almost had a panic attack when I realized this was a project that I had to create from scratch. Projects leading up to this one were “learn the tool, replicate this image.” For this one we had to use everything we’ve learned so far and do something creative. Yikes!

I’m learning when to say “when” on the Photoshop effects, so without further adieu…the finished product.

And see if you can spot the mistake on the poster. My teacher was nice enough to give me the opportunity to correct it. When I realized what I had done I let out a loud Homer Simpson-esque “Doh!!” haha
