letter project

My letter was "C". Everything in the picture is completely made out of Cs. (except for the tree trunk or the persons body)


Reflection Questions:

 

     For my letter project, I used the letter “C”. I made everything out of Cs. The strongest are of my work would be quick selecting objects and free transforming objects. I’m strong in these areas because I used them a lot my freshman year. The often I used things, the more it stuck. The area that I can most improve in is changing the shades of my pictures and manipulating layers. I not as strong in these areas because I didn’t use them a lot my freshman year, and I forgot some of the tricks I use.

     The easy part of the project was that I was review. I got play around with a lot of things and become more familiar with photo shop again. The difficult part was when I first started working on my project. It was tough because I hadn’t used photo shop in almost two years, so I had forgotten a lot of things. Once I familiarized myself with things, I was okay, but at first I didn’t know what to do with myself. For the tool, I stuck to the basic ones. I kept in very simple and clean; nothing crazy. I did this because it was my first project of the year, I wanted to focus on getting to know the tools again instead of making things complicated and confusing myself. I used quick select, free transform, the paint tool, and layer copy. Layer copy was a big one because I used c over and over again for different objects. So I ended up using most of the same c fonts for than once. I used quick select to make new layers and color within the lines. Free transform was also used a lot because I need to manipulate the Cs so that they could take the shape of the object that I wanted. I used the paint tool to basically color everything, and to make things pop.

      I demonstrated the objective of this project by choosing a letter of my choice and turning it into something really cool. I took one letter and made a whole picture. I familiarized myself with the tools again and played with them too. I explored a lot of new tools as well. If I could do this art activity again I would use more complicated tools. That way instead of simple, it would look more complicated. I am happy with my work, and I wouldn’t change anything. I look forward to doing more projects and learning more about photo shop this year.
