Project 2

During project 2 I learned a lot about colors, blending them together and why some colors do not go with others. The easiest part about this project was probably blending the colors together. When I figured out how to blend the colors together and how to saturate and de-saturate colors the shapes came together. The […]

Project 1: Twinkling Stars

For project one I learned about Gestalt theory. Which is basically seeing objects in there simplest form but in different ways. There are six principles for this theory which are; similarity, continuation, closure, proximity, figure ground and repetition. This was not an easy thing to do with a nurse rhyme. It was six lines but it […]

Lab Zero

It looks way cooler if you write out the word zero What did you learn? How to use shape tools on different programs What was easy? What was easy was creating the pieces. What was challenging? Trying to upload my file to wordpress. It is still a bit difficult, but with time I think that […]

Project 4: The Endgame

We are here. We have reached the endgame. So sad 🙁 During this project I learned that being a kid is so easy. I remember doing something similar to this in kindergarten and how easy it was to just draw freely and remember every place in your area by heart. This project had to be […]

Project Three: Elmhurst Milk

Okay first I just want to say how much Elmhurst Milk ads I have been seeing since starting this project. I went on the website one time and now every YouTube video I watch has an Elmhurst Milk ad. Anyways, while doing this project I found it not challenging at all. With the labs as […]

Project Two: We Got It The Second Time Around

Doing project 2 made me realize how I should have really thought about my collection of photos in project 1 and had not just picked random photos. I liked doing this project because I felt a bit more free with my creativity with this one. What challenged me with this project was figuring out how […]

Lab 5: Using The Pen Tool

I am actually glad we did a lesson on the pen tool because I have had trouble using it and decided I did not like it because i didn’t understand it. Learning the basic key commands for this exercise and then putting them to use helped me out a lot. As I progressed you can […]

Lab 2: Retouching Photos

When retouching this image I did not understand the purpose of retouching because I try taking photos that are perfect in my eyes. As I was retouching these photos I used the adjustment layers to adjust the light levels of the photo and give the photo a more vibrant and clear look. The easiest part […]

Lab 1: Acquiring Images

When this lab was assigned I was extremely excited about it because I love photos. I take photos all the time and have gotten really good at it. Everything was easy because of basic camera knowledge I already have and a special thanks to technology. I did find myself relearning and learning some new techniques […]

FINAL PROJECT: Sadness
