Fashion Through the Ages

A pictorial essay on fashion trends throughout the decades Colleen Saporito and Tara Venables

The Evolution of Fashion

Using Photoshop, we created images depicting the different types of fashion popular in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. We then created an image showing how the styles of the past have influenced modern fashion trends.

I used the magnetic lasso to cut out the refrigerator, counter, and stove.

After using the magnetic lasso, I pasted a sink from a different image on top of the counter.

The woman in the 60s outfit was cut from another image using the magnetic lasso tool. I brightened and darkened the colors in her face and dress using the dodge and burn tools. I used the magnetic lasso to cut out a mop mole, and a mop head and blended them together using the smudge tool.

The magic eraser and eraser tools were used to clean up the edges of all of the cut images.

I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out one step from an image found on google, and used the copy layer tool to duplicate the step twice.

I found an image of an entire workout class and used the magnetic lasso to cut out one lady.

• • • • For the background, I googled a picture of a 90s style diner, and used the brush tool to fill in parts of the designs on the wall that were cut off during cutting and pasting. For this picture I used the magnetic lasso to cut out popular characters from 1990s sitcoms and pasted them in the picture. I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out a diner table and paste it in the background.

Using the saturation tool, I improved the resolution of the characters to make them match to each other.
