Project 1 Reflection

Original image I used
Masked face and colored over face using brush in one layer
Played with filters, colors and image trace in one layer. Deleted some sections.
Final project with layers combined

What did your learn?

I learned how to use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create a digital image from a real portrait.


What was easy?

The easy part of this project was the tracing, and deciding which celebrity to use for my portrait. I decided to do my project in memory of Chadwick Boseman, who passed away on August 28, 2020


What was challenging?

The challenging part of this project was going deeper into Photoshop and Illustrator than I ever have before and learning the different features to alter an image


How could your submission be improved?

My submission could be improved by going even more into depth as far as detail


How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?

He could improve the assignment by checking in with every student, every class


How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

I can apply this knowledge in future classes as a DMA major because I now know how to create digital portraits from an actual photograph


How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?

Watching the recorded class videos was very helpful when working on the project because I was able to pause and rewind when I needed. It helped me to finish my project.
