Graphic Arts 1: Exciting News!

Graphic Arts 1 students are busy learning the ins and outs of Photoshop. This piece shows how students can blend imagery and colorize a black and white photo to create an interesting effect. Nick Jerdee worked hard with help from his classmate, James Gallerani, to create a stunning blend featuring Tyrann Mathieu of the Arizona Cardinals. Nick's instragram upload led to a repost by Tyrann Mathieu which has gained over 23,000 likes and 700 comments! Very exciting! Can't wait to see what else he can do.
