As a person who knows and uses Photoshop, I do not know how
to create complex or better designs and barely know how the tools work. To
start off, I watched a Youtube video called Photoshop CS4 Tutorial: Create a Colorful Aurura Effect. Out of all Youtube tutorials, this tutorial caught my
interest because it uses different effects that I have not tried before. I had problems with the burn and dodge tool and I had to go back over and over again to try and have a better floating image as shown in the image below.
The outcome of my first tutorial video is:
The next tutorial video I watched and tried to do was inspired by the Final project last semester, which asked to make a Macbeth promotional poster. The name of the video is Make a Shattered Dagger Poster: Photoshop Tutorial. Rather using the idea of Macbeth, however, I used my favorite artist, Kim Jaejoong. Cutting the dagger into shards took a lot of patience considering that if the shapes of the shards are too similar, it won't look as convincing as it would be.

After that, I decided to learn on how to use Curves by watching Curves :: Photoshop Tutorial Learn the Power of Curves! on Youtube. It didn't take long to figure out how the Curve tool works though trial and error is a must.
Here is the before and after of an Image I used for the tutorial:
