There is something so satisfying about coloring in pixels. It was simple, straightforward, and relaxing. I also liked tinkering with the special effects.

The hand takes too much space in the image when the main focus should be the leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How would the professor improve the assignment for the next class: Admittedly, the lab was a bit harder than the last one we did. Like I mentioned before, there were so many ways to do the same technique so I was a bit lost for some time. However,  I&#8217;m not so lost that I can&#8217;t follow along with the professor, and I eventually found my footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios: I&#8217;m thinking of going into the film industry, so using this to work on movie posters and trailers would really help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you: I don&#8217;t think any reading or video inspired me, but the special effects that I tinkered with certainly did spark my creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, this lab was really interesting. It is a bit more intense than the last one, but I learned more than I expected. Overall, it is a great experience that I once again gain more knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the next lab, I learned about layering different images to create a cohesive image.
