1. What did you learn?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned how various new ways to go about aspects to photoshop such as layers, masks, etc. I was already familiar to Photoshop prior to this course, but because I taught myself the program, I didn’t know much about several of the features that were utilized for this project such as artboards and layer masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What was easy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought that adding effects to the pictures were relatively easy. I liked having the ability to customize these effects as well. For example, the drop shadow effect had different variables that could be changed such as opacity, distance, spread, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What was challenging?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was definitely challenging to use different methods than I was already familiar to get similar results. For example, I used a layer mask to remove the white background from the “20” balloon picture. Before, I would have just rasterized the image and used selection tools to delete the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. How could your submission be improved?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could change the right portion of the inside of the card to better distribute the negative space. I left a lot of white in between the two texts and not a lot of white at the top or bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the project seemed pretty straightforward and the requirements were listed at the end of the instructions, a proper rubric would be helpful to reference along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This knowledge will definitely be helpful while creating posters for clubs and activities that I am involved in. For example, I am going to be starting a graphic design volunteer position this month, and now I have a better understanding of not only Photoshop, but different things that add or subtract appeal from the final product, such as use of negative space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reading the article “7 Beginner Mistakes to Avoid When Designing for Print,” I had a few different things to keep in mind while working that I would not have thought to look for otherwise. For example, I made sure to double check for typos and choose readable fonts with appropriate line weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
