Digital Tech 120 - Today we will put the skills you have learned with photoshop to good use. In honour of the season, we will use the various photoshop tools (selection, lasso, magic wand, eye drop, healing brush, brushes, clone stamp etc.) to transform a picture of ourselves into the inhabitants of the planet Pandora, the Navi. Before we get started, please take a look at the following website to increase your existing knowledge of photoshop filters. Use a new file project and experiment with some of these. http://blog.echoenduring.com/2010/01/20/10-photoshop-filters-you-should-...

This is where you will store all of your needed files. Next, we will go to the following website tutorial: http://www.icanbecreative.com/create-james-camerons-avatar-movie-poster-...
