#19A: Draw out your last name in Illustrator

First we explore the line and shapes options, i made the traditional capital letters except for the "j". Then started paying around with the magic wand and the magnetic lasso, selecting the places were i wanted to use the gradients. lastly i use the start pattern to repeat some shapes and put some of the on the corners and the text tool for the information.

DONE!!! 

#18: Introduction to Adobe Illustrator USB

We just used the shapes form and the text tool it wasn't that hard but it was a long process.

#17: Soft Filtering Skin tones

 we added a soft-focus effect to a portrait that not only minimizes skin imperfections but also adds a romantic glow to the subject’s skin and still keeps the subject’s main features in focus, by converting the picture in a smart object and using the Gaussian blur.

#15 Smart Filtering with Motion Blur

We using Smart Filters you need first to create a Smart Object Layer. Actually, any filter applied to a smart object layer becomes a Smart Filter. This type of method is completely nondestructive and offers more image-editing flexibility than ever before.

The difference between a Smart filter and a normal filter is that Smart Filters offer adjustments without compromising any pixel data. We can add multiple filters one on top of one another, change the order of the Smart Filters to change the resulting effect. We can remove or hide Smart Filters at any time or we can continuously edit the settings of the Smart Filters to achieve different interesting effects. Also we can paint in a mask to hide or reveal different areas of the filter for refined edits, all without altering the image data.
