HACC WEB135 Web Design with Raster Images: First Project
This project required students to properly use selections and arrange the pieces as a person or animal. Had fun with this one!
Photoshop Projects
Prior to becoming a student at HACC, I used Photoshop to just do the basics… cropping, removing bits, changing color to black and white. I was really missing a lot!
My opinion is: to appreciate work done in Photoshop, one should see what the artist started with. So, I’ve included some of the original pieces for these works.
Doing Selections in Photoshop

Using Photoshop’s Select and Mask. The dragonfly’s legs were super challenging. I took the photograph of the pond at Ladew Topiary Gardens, located in Monkton, Maryland.

Website Design
HACC WEB135 Web Design with Raster Images: Website Design
On this project we used Photoshops actions and slices to create an HTML file. All of that is not shown here, however the design of this website is nice. Most of the images are from a trip we took to Scotland in 2015. Except the “Architecture…” one, the small nav bar images are from Pixabay.
Composition Design
HACC WEB135 Web Design with Raster Images: Imaginary Composition
For this assignment students were to use selection and font tools (tracking, kerning, leading), and compositional techniques. This was an interesting project. The pretzel’s salt bits and removing the screen in the background was a major challenge.
