My favorite one would have to be the alien. It's my favorite because we used a lot of different techniques to get it done. Some stuff that I learned was blood and glass brush in photo shop. I learned these when we were in the process of making our vampire. A difficult part that I ran into was using the pen tool during the making of my alien. We learned how to use them before we were able to put them in our alien picture. I think were we see all these effects are in magazines with most of the pictures they put in them. Another way we see them is in novels with there illustrating the point and how you go about imagining it.
My favorite one I really enjoyed doing was the cross process because it made all the colors in the picture pop. Another I liked to do was use the blur effect because you can make your emphasis pop out and have nothing else showing. The one I would like to learn more about would be the gradient because it shows colors in many different ways.
