Message in a Bottle - Jonathan

"In this picture I took a bottle and applied a few filters to create a sea-glass effect as well as warped the contents behind the bottle to make the glass seem real. everything else was just simple transformations and done to make the beach scene." - Jonathan S.

Submerged Turtle - Evan

"This is my submerged turtle project. I started with a picture of a turtle on a beach and added the ocean top view for a realistic view by using the distort tool and eraser. Then i added the actual underwater scene and darkened the color and blurred it out a bit for a actual water view. Next I added the rocks and trees to transform the turtle into a island. Finally I added the darker sky for a more balanced background to the dark water and turtle." - Evan M.

Winner of the Halloween Contest - Maddy!

"In this project I did for the Halloween slideshow, I did an animation project.  I took different pictures from the movie 'Saw' and made different panels saying different things. Then put the words on a 2 second loop and the pictures on a 1 second loop." - Maddy

Anti-Bullying Poster - Nick

"I grabbed a picture of an eye and adjusted the hue and saturation to cyanotype to get the grey/ light blue color. To add the tears, I got a picture of a water drop and used free transform to create the shape. I made a few copies of the tear drop shape and adjusted them to fit along the bottom of the eye. The person in the pupil came from another picture I cropped. I added an inner glow to create a little more shadow around the person. Then I added the text." - Nick
