Final Step – Deliver

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.

Experimentation Process

My favorite color is the blue-green color and the orange and purple with part of the triad. For my emphasis point I think I want it to be my eyes and eyebrow area. Although in every photo I made my emphasis area the same color as my hair, I think it still stands out the most because of the contrast against my face color. In each photo the eyes and eyebrows are what I see and many others see first so I think I did well with that. I chose that for my emphasis area because just on eyes alone, you can tell a lot about someone as shown in our previous project.
