Tory Misiti created a new image using Photoshop by cropping and editing an existing poster. They erased elements like a lightning bolt and retyped a blurred quote to improve clarity. Through trial and error, Tory learned Photoshop skills like pasting images and changing fonts while keeping the original color scheme of orange and grey. The finished poster featured elements Tory added themselves, like a hand-drawn line and retyped text in black to match.

Creating my new image was not an easy task, to say the least. Even though Dr. Blanco
showed us the basics of Photoshop a couple of weeks ago, a few things were left uncertain
simply because I had never used the program before; everything was completely new to me. The
Lynda videos also helped some, but nothing compares to actual hands on experience.
To create my new image, first I cropped the entire picture to get rid of the outside border
that advertised the website that the picture came from. Then, I erased the lightning bolt in the
upper right corner in hopes to replace it with a better looking one that I found online. However, I
am still not completely sure how to go about pasting another image onto an existing one, so I just
eliminated the whole idea of a lightning bolt. I think this was actually a smart decision, because a
bright yellow cartoon lightning bolt would not have really flowed well with the rest of the poster.
After this, I changed the font of the 20 words that were listed in order to make them less blurry
and more clean. I stuck to the color scheme of orange and grey because I wanted the honor the
original image as much as possible since I was basically taking the whole thing and starting from
scratch. After this process was complete, I totally erased the quote at the bottom because it was
honestly so blurry that there was no fixing it without distorting every word. After I erased it, I re-
typed it word for word and arched the words to give the picture something a little bit more fancy.
I wanted the color of these words to be black so they would match the line that I painted myself
at the top of the picture.
