2D Graphics Lab 4


1. What did you learn?
– In this lab I learned some methods to create background images/textures in photoshop.
2. What was easy?
– For one layer we used the rendering tool to create clouds. This tool is easy to use and can generate some very interesting backgrounds.
3. What was challenging?
– I had trouble deciding what part of which image I wanted to use to create a texture. It was a bit difficult once I had it to fine tune all of the parameters to make it look natural.
4. How could your submission be improved?
– I was not able to create a pattern that I was really satisfied with. This is something I’d like to keep playing with until I get an interesting one.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
– Some of the methods used such as copying a selection and cutting it out were not working for me. This was most likely an adobe issue though.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
– I will definitely refer to the methods of this lab If I need a quick background texture. All of these produced some interesting results.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
– I referred to the slides/videos for the completion of this lab. I also turned to YouTube on a couple items for trouble shooting
