polaroid project

Reflection Questions:

   

 

      I think the strongest area of my work in this project was manipulating my images I had created. I exercised a lot of the tools that photo shop provides, such as, free transform, merging, image adjustments, the paint tool, quick select, and the horizontal type tool. The area of work I believe that I can improve on is being more creative with what I do. I should try and think outside the box more and experiment.

       The easy part of this activity was fitting the polaroids into the picture. It was easy to manipulate them, and cut out any excess picture that would ruin the illusion. That part only took me about twenty minutes to complete. Another easy part was editing pictures that I had scanned into the computer. A part that I struggled with was the horizontal text. It gave me some trouble at first because I hadn’t used it in a while. I had trouble moving it around and choosing the font and its size, but after a bit I got the hang of it. For tools, I used quick select, the lasso tool, the paint too, the horizontal text, free transform, merging, image adjustment, liquefy, and the eye dropper tool.

         I demonstrated the objective of the activity by including mixed media elements, having a fore ground, mid ground and back ground, using 12 Polaroids, and implementing a few pictures I had drawn myself and scanned into the computer. If I did this activity again, I would use a different picture, only because the one I used was very light and I had to do a lot of image adjustments to it to make it look right.  I would also incorporate more pictures that I drew myself.
