Final PSA




This is my final animal adoption PSA. I took the advice from class to add a pocket watch hanging from the cat's paw, and I added a drop shadow and certain adjustment filters to make it look realistic. I sharpened and feathered the cat's edges. I also added the true statistic that 'About 4 million adoptable pets are put down every year" and also added  "No more waiting." I am very proud of my PSA overall and I think I took the ASPCA ads (simple image and text against orange background) and added my own little spin on it. I know it makes me want to adopt more animals!

PSA



This is the progress I made on my PSA today. I cleaned up some places, added adjustment filters, and made the watch look more realistically placed. I added 'Adopt today' and cleaned up some of the cats fur on his chest. I sharpened a lot of features and I think it looks a lot better.

Animal Adoption PSA



This is my almost complete animal adoption psa. Following the ASPCA ads, I added an orange background and a simple figure- a cat with a watch on it. I smoothed edges, added a bunch of adjustment layers, and drop shadows. It's hard to get the font the perfect way- and making the watch look realistically on the cat's arm is very difficult. Once I fix those two problems, I think I would be finished.

animal adoption

ASPCA always has an orange/yellowish background, so I want to put an image of either a dog waiting with a watch against the orange background, or a cat + __ = <3 three symbols. The slogan for both will be "Your best friend is waiting for you".

Final Version

I did a lot of final touches- In particular, I added the pitchfork tattoo and I warped the perspective of the fire to make it pop out more. I added a drop shadow to the rosary and made it wrap around the wrist once more. Overall, I think it looks awesome and gets the message of good vs. evil across!

Good vs. Evil



I smoothed the edges and fixed some small coloring mistakes. I blured the fire and clouds to make it appear farther back. I added a rosary and made it stood out by applying texture.

Good vs. Evil



I have made a lot of progress with this. I had all the images separated at first. I saturated the color of the left arm and added a filter to make it red, and did the same for the right arm to make it brighter. I tried to add black fingernails but I ended up taking it out. I then combined the two background images and put them side by side, and then dragged the arm wrestling to the center, feathering the edges and refining the smoothness.
