First Roll Shoot Reflection

I think the edits I made on the photos worked well, specifically with the color saturation on the texture and back lighting pictures. The single most challenging aspect of the project was trying to find unique things to photograph around the school; I feel like the views were slightly unoriginal. Next time I would devote more time to shooting my photos, choosing more appropriate locations for each characteristic. I used the cropping, saturation and contrast tools to emphasize certain aspects of each picture. The aspects of design we utilized in photographing could be applied to any project with a visual component, including school power point presentations.

     I think my background layer worked well with the gradient map I used. It closely mirrors the one you utilized in the tutorial video, but I still think that this is the best option. I also like the liquify tool I used on my hands in the three figures of me in the foreground: it feels Mannish (if that is the proper art term) to me.

     The most challenging part was transferring the separate pictures between .psd files. I am not yet fully familiar with Photoshop.

     Next time I want to utilize more principles of graphic design, such as the rule of thirds and also experiment more with contrast.

     The tool most prevalent is the gradient map; it was used on each picture to make things surreal and maximize contrast. I also used liquify to a lesser extent to morph the foremost figures.

     All the photoshop tools I've learned so far can be used to create graphics for school and industry projects in the future.
