Go Run.

Taking an image of a Nike Waffle XC spike (with no shadow and a white background), I used the magic wand tool to select the spike and deleted the white background. Next, I created a new layer with no colour and put it behind the layer with the spike. Then I clicked Edit>Fill and changed the colour to white. After, I selected the spike layer, and using the fx icon in the Layers Palette, I dropped a shadow, adjusting the angle, opacity, distance, spread, size and noise to make it seem more realistic. Shadows are guaranteed to make anything with a plain white background much, much cooler.

LATVIA hats.

To create this Warhol-inspired pop-art, I used the rectangular marquee tool. Then clicked Edit>Define Brush Preset and File>New File. Then using the brush tool I adjusted the brush colour from the Option Bar. I then repeated the original image, using different colours.

Me shredding like Bode.

Using the magnetic lasso tool, I selected my face , and then copied it into an image of Bode Miller skiing. Using the move tool I positioned my face on his. To resize it, I used Edit>Free Transform and dragged it to the correct shape and size.
