My thoughts about this project were that at first I was scared that i wasnt going to understand and get lost somewhere during the process of completing the project. At first talking about it, it seemed difficult but after following steps and trying to experiment through out the process, it became easy to do and fun. Before this class I had no idea how to use photoshop but this project helped me learn how to navigate through it and do new things and shortcuts on the keyboard. Over all the project was fun to do but the only thing i wouldve done differently is choose or take a better picture because i think it affected the way it came out.

My final thoughts while working on this Project while using Photoshop is When i first read and follow the project instructions, I felt like i was getting a bit lost on setting up the layers on the third step. Searching for a better contrast sure can be a bit tricky. Your trying to not lose too much details in your face but you cannot leave too much gray shades for your black and white contrast. Now I see why it’s best to have your seflie set all black and white. But overall i think it’s fun to use photoshop again to use the magic wand tool and fill it with any color you like to change the color of the background, the hair, the glasses, etc. I do find this project challenging too as well.

This project for me has been the funnest of all semester, I think it helped me to understan how the colors relate with each other in a design, i think it’s pretty interesting how this “technique” came up to be art like we know it nowdays. Andy Warhol became revolutionary with this kind of art and made me feel inspired to reproduced too. This project have made me feel more comfortable with the online design tools that we mostl likely be using for the rest of our lifes. I felt like I need to improve the use of the colors in the compositions I did to practice but im really proud of the final result and the contrast between colors and details in the composition. In my next project I can enjoy it as much as I did doing this one.
