Photoshop ReDesign Final

Tattoo Photoshop Reflection

          I think that the strongest part of my work is the tattoo I made itself because I think it fits this activity very well. I think that I could improve on my burning because I don't think I made very good use of the burn tool overall.
          I think that the easiest part of this was taking the initial picture of who I was going to put the tattoo on. The hardest part for me was tracing the original drawing onto white paper in sharpie to use for the scan. The materials I used were a couple of sharpies that had small/thin tips for my drawing. The tools I used for this was the burn/dodge tools. They helped me highlight the light in the photo and also show some shadows aswell.
          I think I demonstrated the objective of this art activity because I successfully made my tattoo appear to be real, or actually tattooed onto my friend's back. If I could do this again I would probably pick something else to tattoo and also choose a different spot so that I could warp it onto his arm or something to make it look ever more real.

Artist Reflection - Painting

         

          I think that the strongest piece of work from my painting are my lines and sections that I created for the structure of the painting because I think the final product came out really clean. I think an area of my work could be improved by touching up the blending in the final process to make it come together a bit smoother than I made it.
          I think the easiest part of this was blending because everything came together so easily and smooth. I think the hardest part about this was how much time it took me to separate all the individual colors. The materials I used were the papers I got in the beginning to help me find things properly. The tools I used were the magnetic lasso to select specific areas and the eyedroppper to select specific colors for certain areas.
          I demonstrated the objective of the art activity by showing that I could separate the colors properly and blend them all together to make a proper painting. If I could do this activity again I would probably choose a different character that has more depth to it so it could look more 3D.

Artist Reflection - Collage

          I think that the strongest area of my work was my use of colorization. This is because I used a large variety of bright colors and dark colors and mixed them around on some images as well, and I feel that that really helped the image come together.
          The easiest part of this project for me personally was finding all of the images that represent me. This is because I could find a lot of things that I liked and things I could make look cooler and smoother while making this big collage. The hardest part of my collage was to keep away from the sharp edges, etc because I have a bad habit of leaving things square and not blending things together.
          There were a lot of materials that I used while putting together my collage such as the filters that changed the coloring of images I used, as well as using overlays for a few images to make them different colors. I demonstrated my goal by combining thirteen different images that I felt represented me. If I could do this activity again then I would probably choose a nicer background and include many images that I could merge with it, and also I would want to try and find a few more things that represented me better than what I already found.
