Magazine Cover
Here is my magazine cover final. The layout category I chose was, pictures married to type. I knew I wanted my magazine cover to do with music. To be honest, I thought we had through the weekend to finish until I received the email saying it was due. So, I quickly got to work. I looked for the image first. Kurt Cobain was perfect. Then I came up with the name of the magazine. It was inspired by Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody's song. I also looked up the meaning of Rhapsody. I liked that it stated "Epic Poem". Perfect for songwriting appeal. After that, I figured out the font and color of the Masthead and used the glowing edge tool amongst others to get it right. I put myself in the buyer's shoes and decided what the feature articles would be. I then had to position where the featured articles would be placed and worked on the font size, style and color of each one. Lastly, I dated my monthly magazine cover. Now, where can I buy it?

Panoramas
Here is a Panorama of your images. I used the Pano tool and merged the layers. Then I did some color correcting and used the exposure tools.
HDR
Here is the HDR homework. I took your photos and used the Merger to HDR tool. Then I used the Edge Glow Controls and set the radius to 200, Strength to 3, Gamma to 10, Exposure to 40 and Detail to 60. I also changed the Shadow to 7, Highlight to 50, Vibrance to 52 and Saturation to 30. It was a bit too yellow so did some more adjusting and came up with this in the end.

Color Scheme
The original image is the yellow bird.
I decided to make the bird red and make the background both yellow and green. This is using a secondary color scheme; two primary colors and a resulting secondary color for a total of three colors represented in the graphic.
Basic color correcting
Here is my color correction. The like the colors of the leaves and the nesting area is not as dark as it was. I brightened up the overall image.
Duotone
Here is Duotone David. I cropped the original picture, changed it to Graysale and then Duotone and added the green. Was going to add purple but the green looked better.

Lab work- Painting
Selection Tools
This photo makes me laugh. I took Albert Einstein's head and put it on Jim Morrison's body using the selection tools. I wanted to use the body of Johnny Depp, but the picture was too small and at first I couldn't figure out how to make them similar size. I realized later, I had to take the image and adjust the size, so Einstein's head wouldn't be so big. This is the result.
Art Filters
I took this photo on a trip to Yosemite. It's of one of my son's about 10 years ago. I used the Fresco Filter and some blending options. I also used the elliptical marquee to select him. I then did an inverse and changed the background with the texture filter called craquelure, or something close to that.

Lesson 1
Here is it. My first Photoshop Lesson done. Let me tell you, it wasn't easy for me and I had some struggles. I am not very tech savvy (yet), so it was hard for me to even get to the first lesson. I wasn't sure what I was doing at all or how to figure out the answers. With a little help from my family, a good friend and the internet, I got through it! Thank you :-)
