REFLECTION

During the whole semester, I learned a lot about Photoshop and the process of editing photos. I'm still having some problems separating the subjects from the background, especially if they have many strands of hair hanging out. Funny enough I like the process of adding shadows, the difference between adding and not adding shadows is big. It gives them more dimension. 

Project 1 was my least favorite out of all because it felt limited. But understandable because it is like an exercise to let us get used to the program and its tools. Project 2 was where the fun began, we were able to think of our own ideas and make them while still learning more. Project 3 was the most fun. It is where I just go wild with it. I think I just enjoy anything where I can express myself and my ideas the most. It is also the one project that I had the most motivation to do and looking forward to the end product the most. Project 3 also involves using After Effect where I had always wanted to learn using the Puppet Tool.

Overall this semester was enjoyable to do. Learned a lot and had fun with it. To be able to make my idea real feels nice. Hopefully, other classes will be like this. Allow people to have wild imaginations and make them real.
