Brushes
The main focus of this assignment was to learn how to take different things and turn them into brushes by selecting the area I want to use as the brush, and then hitting edit and "Define Brush Preset". I also leaned that it was important to make the image black and white before turning it into a brush so that the color of the brush could be manipulated normally. For the Photoshop generated brush, I used some fractal art that I had made, and for the hand made brush I used a painting that I had previously done. I combined these two images to create my combo brush which I think turned out pretty cool. I think that the ability to turn anything into a brush really opened up a new door for me in Photoshop and I want to use this idea more often in future projects.
