In Class Assignment

In our first class, we were told to resize the image of a tree. We learned three different ways to change the image size, but my favorite was using the Image Size tool to simply change the dimensions of the image. After that we learned how to increase the canvas size to make the image have a border around the four trees. We place each tree image the same width apart and make sure they were all equal sizes. I used a bunch of different filters on each of these trees in order to make them look different than the original. I used a Lens Flare on one of the images and I love the way it looks.

All About Me

Hello there! My name is Katie Eckel and I am a senior Marketing major at Quinnipiac University. I'm originally from Westchester, New York. I believe that this IDD class is something that I need as a marketing major considering I will be working with advertisements. It is important to understand the tools and fundamentals to be able to expand your creativity in this field. I have worked with Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign before but I need a huge refresher. I want to become better at these applications especially since I will be applying for marketing positions soon. These skills will set me apart from others and I am excited to start learning!

Here is the image that I altered using Photoshop. I decided to change the background to make the image more eye catching and then I changed the way that my body looked. I used a brown colored Half Toned Pattern. This makes my skin look a little dotted and changed the hue of my skin tone and hair.
