2D Graphics Project 2


1. What did you learn?
– In this lab we created a background for a desktop. To create the finish product I learned a lot about layer masks that I had not known.
2. What was easy?
– It was not to hard to create the background using methods we had learned. It took me a while to finally pick one but its very intuitive and there are countless options.
3. What was challenging?
– I found it hard to think of a good lay out for the three images I was using. It took me a long time shuffling them around and arranging to get it looking decent.
4. How could your submission be improved?
– About halfway through the project I wished I had chosen a different image. The two hard square images do not contrast with each other well that Is why I tried to alter the edges on them.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
– I had trouble deciding what art direction I wanted to take with this. It was helpful going through and looking at some examples from precious classes.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
– This was a great practice using adobe photoshop tools. I could see all of this being relevant if you were creating social media/advertisements for a company.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
– I looked through the John Wilhan website to get inspiration for this project.
