I think that this project was kind of a fun project. I believe this because, it was something nice and easy, compared to the previous project, mostly because it was done all on computer. It was easier to make the way I wanted it to be. For a future attempt, I would try to make it more easy to know which Pantone color belongs to which color.

I found this project very fun because we got to explore the color wheel and do most of the work on Photoshop. I learned that colors play a huge role in art pieces in this project I had difficulty with the colors because I lost some of the features on my face until I changed
some colors around to bring back some of the features I lost. What I can do better is make the photo the actual size so I don’t have to trim the photo to fit the board.

With project 4 I learned the differences between cymk and rgb colors I learned how to play around with I have three colors layed our complemtary triad and analogous hopefully for next project I’m able to use the skills I learned and transfer it over and make it similar match

Ever since, I was young, blue has always been my favorite color. I chose this color for multiple reasons. One can be that I always found blue as a relaxing color. Blue can mostly be found in “happy” things and can sometimes even make me feel like everything is going to be okay. In fact, in Japan, they actually  have blue street lights at night, which has reduce crime, by calming people down.

I also pick blue because I think that it best fits my personality. It fits my personality because blue can be mostly found in things that are consider happy, such as the in the big blue ocean at the beach, a nice sunny blue day, flowers, and more. I like to consider myself, usually a happy person, and I see it when I pick blue as my favorite color. During summer, I always enjoy going to beach, with friends and family, and just having a good time in the blue ocean. Spring is also my favorite season, and I think its because of the weather change from winter, where it always cold, snowy, and everyone is forced to be inside, because no one wants to be outside, to Spring, where its a warmer and “nicer” time of the year, because things things start changing for the better. I also have a personal connection, with the color blue, because it was the color of one of my favorite characters growing up as a child, which was Stitch from “Lilo & Stitch”.

My favorite color (Blue-green) has cultural associations tied to youth, fertility, calm, strength and peace. I chose this color because it reminded me of a game I used to play; Starcraft. In that game the players get to choose a team color and I would always choose Teal (almost like another version of turquoise). Blue-green is a color that reminds me of Teal, so I chose it simply for the nostalgia.

In project four, I learned how to add colors in a highly contrasted black and white image on Photoshop. From removing white spaces to erasing/cleaning up the images, I familiarized myself with the program and filled the selfies to their respective colors, all the while learning how to operate another Adobe program. 

I think for this project I could have made better highlights to the selfies. Instead of adding the entire block of color, I should have simply cut out whatever I was highlighting into said color (ex: purple glasses).
