Typography project

• The strongest part of my piece are the dolphins because they look amazing and the shape of them look good.
• I could've improved on the words that made up the dolphin's shape because I only used a few words and I could've used more.
• I used the pen tool to outline the dolphin, the type tool and area type tool to fill the dolphin with words, and the gradient tool to make the background colors.
• Making the background was the easiest because I just had to choose colors.
• Filling the dolphin with words was difficult because I had to make sure when I removed the background that the words would form the dolphins body.
• The dolphins look really cool and I completed the objective of turning a picture into a typography image.
• I would choose a simpler image if I had to redo this assignment.
• I would rate my project a 10/10 because i'm impressed with how it turned out and it looks amazing.

selfie project

• The strongest part of my project is the face because it looks like my face, and it came out better than I expected it would. 
• An area that can be improved on would be my eyes because they don't look like my eyes, but they aren't horrible.
• The tools I used were the pen tool and the eyedropper.
• I used the pen tool to outline my head, face, neck, eyes, nose, lips, hair and shoulders. Then I used the pen tool to draw triangles on the places I outlined and used the eye dropper to fill in each triangle with the colors that were on the original picture. 
• Filling in the triangles was the easiest part of the project because I decided what color went in which triangle.
• Making the picture look like me was the hardest part of this project because you had to make sure you outlined your features well, otherwise it wouldn't look like you. 
• I demonstrated each of the goals well in this project because my project came out amazing.
• If I could do this assignment differently I would choose a different picture because the lighting was bad and my hair looked darker than it was in the picture.
• I would rate my work as a 9 because I am happy with how it turned out and I didn't think it was gonna look good, but it does.

Cartoon project

   The strongest visual area of my finished project is my hair and eye color because my hair is always in a pony and its very blonde, plus my eyes are very blue. The weakest visual area that can be improved on are my arms and legs. I can improve on my arms and legs by adding detail to make them look like they are actual arms and legs.

    The tools I used were the paintbrush, dodge and burn, eyedropper, magic wand, and quick selection tool. I used the magic wand and quick selection tool to select the area I needed to paint, then I used the paint brush tool to paint the area I selected. The dodge and burn tools were used to make my shirt, shorts, and skin lighter or darker in some areas. The last tool was the eyedropper tool which I used to take the exact color of my shirt and color my hair elastic. The easiest part of this project was coloring my cartoon and making it come to life because I could make it look however I wanted.
    The most difficult part of this activity was finding a hair color because there aren't any colors really close to my hair color. I demonstrated each of the goals because my cartoon looks just like me. If I could do this assignment again I would change my outfit and make it with a different season because my cartoon is dressed for spring and summer. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate my work an 8 because i'm super happy with how my work came out and I love it.

Curves templates

mix media project updated

   The strongest part of my piece is the caption because it describes the caption very well and it flows well with the project as a whole. I could improve on how I align and place certain objects and pictures and make it all work together better. The tools i used were the clone stamp, quick selection, rectangular marquee, and color swatches. I used these tools to help me cut out the parts of the pictures that I needed and to color the sun.
   This art project was easy because I could make it the way i wanted to make it and my art didn't have any limits. The difficult part was making everything blend and work together. I made sure I was completing all the goals for this activity because i have mixed media, my own picture, and a drawing that I drew.
   I would change the background if I could do this project again. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate my work an 8 because I strongly feel that my work represents and shows mixed media very well and I'm proud of how my project turned out.
