Lab 1

  • What did you learn? – I learnt how to use different tools in photoshop along with different filter options. I’ve used Photoshop before but I have not experiemented with certain brushes, and have never thought to use the smudge tool as a brush.
  • What was easy? – The filter option was the easiest, as it was the least time comsuming.
  • What was challenging? – The sketching part of the lab. I would say I am decent at drawing, but even kind of tracing around my celeb I strugged to make it look good.
  • How could your submission be improved? – The sketch version that I did looks a bit weird, especially in the eyes. I tried to redo them a few times but accepted that I would need to put way more time into it (which I did not have)
  • How could I improve the assignment for the next class? – Maybe add an option that looks VERY different. The mixer brush and smudging techniques looked similar for me, and were very similar when I was doing them.
  • How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? – I now know about certain brushes that I did not know about previously, so I may end up using some of those in my future assignments/work
  • How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? – N/A
