So here's just a little survey to get your thoughts on e-marketing:

1.  What social media outlet do you think is most commonly used in marketing?

2.  How many different ways do you market your company/blogs/life?

3. What is your favorite outlet to get your name/business out
 
So here is another one of my favorite things about Photoshop; the clone stamp tool.  You use it when you want to get rid of something in a picture.  When you do it right, no one can even tell there was something there to begin with.  Let's see a couple of examples, shall we?
This one is pretty cool.  Even though I think the graffiti gives the picture character, the little girl blends in instead of being the center focus.  Using the cloning tool, you would just click on the part of the bricks you wanted to grab the color, and put it over the graffiti.  Easy. Peasy.

This picture I liked solely for the reason that I have never thought to do something like this and it's awesome.  So you can see what the person was doing was taking the little circle there on the right, going over to the left part of the picture they wanted, and recreating it on the right.  This is also an awesome tool to get rid of unwanted acne, braces, scars, etc.  Pretty cool if you ask me!  Photoshop has done it again!
 
Okay, so let's be honest.  I am totally in love with Photoshop.  I could spend hours and hours tweaking this photo and that photo and creating little artsy fartsy things.  One thing that is my favorite thing so far about Photoshop is what I actually learned in class today; the art of blending. 
So what blending is, is taking two photos and making it so it looks like one complete photo.  Here are a couple of examples:


Okay so this?  You can TOTALLY do with Photoshop.  You have Miley and Liam, who look like they're floating in the sunset, and then the picture of her walking with her dad all blended together.  Pretty cool right?  Here's another one I liked:

This is another awesome blended movie poster.  Do you see how he is kind of just floating in the middle of the city?  That is what blending is.  So it's pretty much taking two pictures, setting one in the background and putting the other one on top.
When you google "movie posters" you see this EVERYWHERE.  So, whenever you see a movie poster that doesn't look like a real picture, I can almost guarantee it's Photoshopped.  And I love it.  Look out world, I've got another tool under my belt!
