If you’d like to see some samples of my work in Graphic Design, what better place to see them than actual live examples?

Here is a list of websites (*copy and paste it into your browser)

• http://extension.usu.edu (my work included most of the thumbnails.  Other than that, full-time graphic designers were hired).
• http://forestry.usu.edu (I designed the landing page there)
• http://kirksalisbury.com (you’re already here, so anything you see on this site)
• http://utahbeekeeping.com (That entire site as well)

PS Fun

Can’t get enough of photoshop today. It was a simple process, just time consuming. I created four different layers, one for the sky, the ground, the car, and myself. After doing that, I played with the color balance on each one, and we have a tripppy new world.

Spooky Haunted Pumpkin Castle

Another fun quick job, in basically 2 steps.
1: Add both images, making sure the pumpkin layer is on top.
2: Choose the blending options, and find one that works best for you. I chose the linear dodge option.

This was a fun quick photoshop job.
1: Duplicate layer
2: Color overlay, play around with which overalay setting you like the most.
3: Delete the top of the lid.
Wa-la.

Enhancing a Photo

There were 4 easy steps to change this picture. It’s still not a great photo, but it undoubtedly is more pleasing to look at in the second case.
1: Color balance – I removed most of the yellow.
2: I duplicated the layer, and cut myself out of the duplicated layer.
3: I then increased the darkness and contrast to make myself less washed out.
4: Dodged the dark areas and burned the bright areas to give it less of the flash effect, but only so much could be done.
