Old ad

Replicated ad

The types of tools I used are gradient for the background, the magic wand and quick selection tool to crop the two dogs out of their original pictures, the pen tool to create the curved selection on the dog, the text tool for the attempt of a logo, and the blur tool to blend the two different dogs I used. What was difficult about this assignment for me is trying to get it perfect, which it still isn't. I'm a perfectionist so it was hard for me to realize the two ads won't exactly match. The other difficulty I had was the curved line separating the pencil and the dog. I couldn't really figure out what tool to use to create the selection. finally I used the pen tool and changed it to a selection after I got it where I wanted it. The lighting on the dog and its shading I wish I could have manipulated more to match the actual ads dog also.
