final step- Deliver
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.
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.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall, the projects steps helped run through the process smoothly. To begin with the color wheel and color study helped know more about the colors I chose for my final delivery. I began with the color wheel and correcting any colors that didn’t flow. From there, I chose to focus on Lavender as my favorite color for the template. I learned things I did not know before, like the meaning behind different shades of purple. This research helped me realize why I even like the color lavender to begin with. I never had a particular reason to like it, but once I looked into the social and cultural meaning behind it, it all began to add up. From there, I was able to experiment on creating my own pieces using the triad colors for Lavender. I also added a blue-green tint to two of them because that is my second favorite color. This process of experimenting and placing those images all together helped me see what colors contrast more or less than others. For example, some images look more fitting when the bright color is the background and the darker ones are the foreground. If I switched this, I noticed the image looks inverted.
Nevertheless, my eyes grew to understand and see more with color relationships when designing an image. Some look better together than others, and in graphic design, understanding color would be essential to achieve the best and strongest piece. If I could do a second version of this project, I would try darker colors rather than the pastel tones I chose this time around. It would expand my range of understanding which colors complement one another better than others. When designing, I will apply what I have learned with Triad colors and they’re contrasts, as well as design with complementary colors as it makes images look much stronger.
