Lesson 4: Logo

 This was our fourth lesson for the basics of Photoshop. We began the assignment with a plain cardboard box image. To place the logo we clicked on file>place>then place the "logo". We then used the move tool to situate the logo in the proper placement and changed it to a reasonable size.

    We then used the lasso tool by clicking lasso tool>polygonal lasso tool and then we traced or outlined the top side of the box from vertex to vertex. We then clicked edit>cut and edit>paste, this separated the top half of the logo from the bottom half. We then created a new layer and named it "top" for the top half of the logo. To make the logo appear bent, we clicked on image>transform>distort. With this application we were able to stretch and manipulate the logo, making it appear folded onto the box.

   For the final adjustments, we changed the opacity of the top layer to 60% and changed the bottom layer by clicking Multiply and changing the opacity to 70%. The image was now complete and appeared bent to our eyes. We then saved our work in our documents as a JPEG image.
