Poster Final

Tattoo Reflection

My use of the dodge and burn tool is the strongest aspect of this piece. I could have token a better picture where the limb I chose to place the tattoo allowed me to work with more space. The easy part about this activity was using the selection tools to get the tattoo. The difficult part was making the tattoo look realistic. I used the selection tools, dodge tool, and burn tool in order to complete the activity. I demonstrated the objective by placing the tattoo on the persons arm. If I could do this project again I would add more tattoos and utilize my time more wisely.

Self Portrait Reflection

The strongest area of the portrait is the use of filters. I should have made the images smaller so that more could fit into the portrait. The easy part was using the selection tools and deciding what I wanted to do.  The area of work that can be improved is the the type of filters used for each image and how I chose to layer them on each other. The difficult part of the essay was figuring out exactly how I wanted to arrange the images to make an entirely new portrait. I used a variety of filters, changed up the opacity of certain images, and adjusted brightness. I demonstrated the objective by arranging the specific images that I have been exposed to in an creative way. If I could do this activity again I would make the image brighter and use better images as well as more.

Artist Reflection: Selection Tool Assignment

The strongest area of my work is that I was able to use the selection tools in order to get the full image without any unwanted image residue from the background. I could improve on using the variety of tools together in order to get the most of the image in the final project. This could be accomplished by practicing using the tool more often. Most of the images were easy to select. The bowl, sand dollar, and one of the shells were able to be selected using the quick selection tool. However, this was not possible with the one of the images and it took a considerable amount of time to effectively get the image. I used the selection tools as well as inverted one of the images in order to finish the assignment. The objective was to replicate the picture on the worksheet using the file provided.I demonstrated the objective by remaking the image to the best of my ability. If I could do this project over I would spend more time on the inverting of the blue image.
