Evolution As Advertised

     The background of my computer was getting old and my posts scarce. And of these few posts even fewer accurately depict the main focus of the blog. Here I change this. I decided to help myself out by creating a new background using the tutorial presented in the last post and at the same time show you a very general time line on how the picture was created. This could not have been possible if it wasn't for my new camera (also presented earlier). So here I show you what this blog really stands for and I hope for your feedback to keep this thing alive.

*DISCLAIMER* These pictures are way to big to put onto the blog, in the future I will condense them**

                My friends tell me the picture of me on this blog is not as professional as it rightfully should be. I decide to experiment with my new camera taking "sophisticated" photos of myself when I came across a pose I really enjoyed. The way the picture came out I thought would be perfect for my next project of text shadowing. I kept retaking the photo and decided to chose this one [x]. From there I learned the tutorial in and out. On a quest to find a word to show my pretty face, my friends told me they loved the new passion I developed of Photoshop and blogging so that is what I went for. This was my final product, at least that's what I thought [x]. Realizing anyone could follow a few clearly labeled instructions I decided to take it to the next level, evolve it if you will. My favorite song that most accurately displays my first year of college is Over by Drake. For a picture of me I think this would best to, quite literally, show people who I am [x]. Now considering my camera takes pictures at an unnecessary 3888 x 2592 resolution, I had to find what I believed to be the font, size, and spacing of the lyrics. Also I thought adding my own footprint into the photo by adding a refined Design Evolution logo to the picture [x] . Now to add its own original feel to it I decided to finish off the photo with a simple multi color overlay to give it some real effect. Thus the results are as shown:
