AS Designs - Final Portfolio Website

Welcome to my final portfolio website!   I made quite a few changes to my website to incorporate the feedback that I received.  I decided to take my portfolio pictures off the main page as they are also on my portfolio page and add a picture that complemented my theme.  The image is of a woman with a crystal ball, and I added my tagline, "Imagine. Create. Design." over the crystal ball.  I also added one of my favorite pictures from my portfolio to the intro message.   On the "About Me" page I added a background that I created in Photoshop using the Generative Fill, layers, opacity, and auto adjust options.  I kept in mind the concepts that we learned in Photoshop, such as the style and layout that I chose to arrange the text and images added structure and separation of the information while leaving an appropriate amount of white space.  I also changed the color of the text to a dark gray and added a scroll option whereby the background stays in p...

AS Designs Portfolio Website

  Is it AI or is it Real? Original Photo of My Son Original Photo of Me This was my first experiment with AI and I had some fun, but some difficulties along the way with a couple of the modifications I tried.  In this modification, I used the rectangular marquee tool to choose the top part of the background.  I then typed into the generative fill box, "a beautiful waterfall from a mountain background with the sun radiating down from the blue sky."  I used the generative fill mode and rectangular marquee tool to fix a small part of the rock behind the waterfall to blend better.  I ended up generating images several times to get the most realistic blended image.  I then used the rectangular marquee tool again and highlighted the bottom of the background.  I typed in the generative fill box, "add staircase up a mountain with person standing at the top that blends with the rest of the picture."  It was probably a little wordy, but it got the job done....
