A mandala is a section of an image that is copied multiple times and made into a circle. In order to make this, you have to have a picture ready and use photoshop to copy a certain section of the image and paste it onto the template and paste it again, flip horizontal and then rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. After this , you can drag the template layer and remove it from the layers. Press command and click on the original layer. Then merge those two layers and copy the new layer from those and move it to the upper right section. Press command and click on the other layer. Merge those 2 layers. Then duplicate that layer and move it to the bottom half of the template. Then align and press command and select the other layer and merge those layers. Then you can mess with the background and merge the layers and save it.
I struggled with finding the perfect section of the image to use in order to make the mandala look cool. If I had to do this project over again, I would find better things to take pictures of and use other pictures.

A tessellation, in my own words, is an image that is made up of mirror parts of another image. Although it is a tedious task to accomplish, it does look cool in the end. The way in which you need to create the image is by opening photoshop, selecting file>new. Then creating the guides at the 4 inch margin, both horizontal and vertical, doing so for each tessellation you need to make. Next, open the picture and adjust the image size according to the grid layout.
I enjoyed working on these tessellations I liked taking pictures for this project, and my favorite was the yellow flower or the green plant. I struggled with finding new items to use for this project. If I did this project over again, I would do it differently. I would find new things to use in my images. |
