Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.
Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Hi there, it is class project time. Don't think of it as homework, think of it as ways to practice what you just learned so that it sinks in there good. This project is to practice the Select Subject we learned in the last video. To find this kind of Class Projects list, you can go into your Exercise Files, and there it is there, it's called Class Projects. Open it up, and we're going to be starting at this one here, Select Subject.
So the files to use is in a folder called Project Zero. I'll show you where they are. In your downloaded 'Exercise Files', in '02 Selections'. And there it is there, 'Class Project Zero'. We're going to be using all three of these. I want you to basically just use your skills to mask this one here on to number C, that's a letter C, Do the same thing with this B option here.
So basically these two models, on to this background. So you'll have to use the Select Subject, plus a little bit of the Select & Mask. Because these are very different kind of shots of models, you're going to have to mess around with this background, to get them to kind of-- you might have to play with the levels of this one. Use your existing Photoshop skills to try and get them to blend nicely.
You might have to blur the background. Up to you, but once you've got them together, and you've got a reasonably good mask, I'd love for you to share it. So up here is the ways to share, the easiest way is on the website here. Go to the Assignments part and share what you've done. Sometimes it's easier just to use the comments, but most importantly share them with me. Share them with me on Instagram, on Twitter, or my Facebook group.
If you ask for criticism I will give you some polite stuff. You can just share it up there and not ask for any criticism, and just be proud of what you've done. Practice, practice. All right, go ahead and do your homework, and I will see you in the next video.
