1. What did you learn?

2. What was easy?
I found most things in the project to be challenging.
3. What was challenging?
Utilizing photoshop and making it look how I wanted, I also had a lot of difficulty thinking of a metaphor and figuring out how I wanted the aspects of it to look.
4. How could your submission be improved?
More customization of the scale of things and further tweaking of some blending and other aspects.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
More examples of paths you could take this in.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
I can better adjust and modify images to make their combinations look more natural.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
I forget exactly what it was from but seeing the metaphor “hit the books” is what gave me the idea in the first place, on top of talking about JJK with friends.
The character hitting the books is Yuji from Jujitsu Kaisen, specifically from the manga, *kinda like comic books*, and the color scheme is black and white to represent the common black print on white pages that books use. This is also why I went with a character from manga due to its similar usage of black and white. I tried to find a background that incorporated a sort of pattern with all the books in it.
