Adobe Photoshop CC Tutorial

In honor of school starting, and the process of switching to Adobe creative cloud, I decided to create a tutorial for a new tool in Adobe Illustrator (and so I can get a grade in this class). For this tutorial, I decided to do 3D text, which was a lot simpler than I thought it would be so I think you all shouldn't have a problem with it.

First things first, to create the document. Now the sizes I listed to the left aren't necessarily the sizes that you absolutely have to use, you can pretty much use any size you want as long as it fits your text, but keep in mind that the bigger the document, the longer the process will take.

This is the text I chose, I simply just did my name and I put a line shape underneath it so the 3D text will pop more. Next you're going to right click on the text layer and click "convert to shape". This should outline your text and now you can click on the text layer as well as the shape layer and merge them together using command E. After that, right click on the layer and all the way at the bottom it should say  "New 3d extrusion from selected layer". Click that, and it should look like the picture below.

 Now that we've converted to the 3d layer, we're going to experiment with the 3d tab and the layers so read carefully. You're going to go back to the layers panel and right click on background, then go all the way to the bottom and click postcard. All this does is put the background behind the 3d layer. Next, you'll combine the background and the text layer together and you should get the next picture below.











After that, you can experiment with the 3d layers and figure out how you want your text to show up, but all I did was lower the extrusion depth slightly. Now you're going to click the cube in the properties layer (picture on the left) and it should start to render your layer, so it gives off the effect that really pops your 3d text. This process usually takes around 5 minutes for me, but again it depends on how big your document is.








Now this is your final product! Feel free to change any colors of the size or your text, but this is what I ended up liking the most. Thanks for reading!

Topic Website - KC Mac n' Cheese

The main idea of making this project is for me to get a broader perspective of using Dreamweaver, as well as all the features it has that can embed a video, graphic, menus, and certain rollover images.

When I first started this project, I thought of making a website about Broadway or Photography, one of my many hobbies after school. In the end, I decided to go with something that made me happy and I could find plenty of information on. Along the way, I learned many new ways to add in coding, different color schemes, plenty of new information on Mac n' Cheese, and embedding images and videos.

Next time, I might try to find a better place to put the side bar so the website looks more natural, as well as changing the background on the sidebar. I really liked how I made the logo, and I tried to make it in a Mac n' Cheese shape, but ended up choosing a fun font to incorporate the feel of fun and lovable Mac n' Cheese. I also really liked how I did the background around the whole thing with the transparency, except maybe I next time I might try to make the Mac n' Cheese more at the top and then fade into black.

This project definitely helped me learn how to do width and rounded corners that I will most defiantly use for future projects. I think I'll change the layout more next time and try to experience some new feature with Dreamweaver that I haven't tried yet. I really loved this project because we got to incorporate everything we've learned and I got to write about something that I'm passionate about.

Recreation of a Famous Logo

My Logos

This is the personal logo I made. I made different shapes and designs with this pattern until I came up with something that represented me. Some problems that occurred when making this was the overlay of the letters and how they can fit while having a normal amount of space between the letters. I really like how well the letters fit together and how the Y flows smoothly into the A.
