Jazz Fest
The purpose of this assignment was another way for us to apply these Photoshop skills we've learned to real life uses, just like we did for the logo and product assignments. Except this project is even more realistic because there's a chance that this poster could actually be used for the Jazz Festival, which is super cool. This assignment also required that I use a tutorial to learn how to do something new in Photoshop. I used the YouTube tutorial below to create the background and white text spaces for my poster:

My favorite part of my poster is the white trumpet. In order to make the trumpet, I found a picture of a trumpet and then used the magic wand tool to only select the outer edges of the trumpet. Then, I masked out the rest of the trumpet so only the outline remained. I used a tutorial to help me with this as well but I couldn't find the link to the same one I used afterwards. Overall, I think this is one of my best looking Photoshop assignments so far.
