M6 Part II - My Site

For this project, I designed my personal portfolio geared towards using it in my professional life. The site that is created so far is a great starting point for something that I can actually use in my real world. I started the site with a background and graphic of a gerbera daisy, which were most appealing to me and represents the type of imagery that I like. I took an image of a blue daisy and used various photoshop techniques including select & mask, add adjustment layer, adjust hue settings, and then make the background transparent.

I then proceed with the portfolio section with my work history and education summary. This is the area that I can expand upon after this class is completed.

I added a section for "Hobbies" so that I could work in additional photoshop techniques that I gained this semester. I used the Basic Photoshop training video where we learned to select using the quick select and masking options, as well as refining edges with the smart edge detection. I used these techniques for my first two images to make my subject stand out from the background. I then enhanced an image from the ocean, by adding colorization to the water and sky to make it more appealing.

I finished off the site with the required contact me information, and completed the proper links for each of the social media sites. I added some additional Wix background image options to the strips that had a plain background to give it some more color.

I hope you enjoy my site!
