Blog #5


1. The most significant accomplishment I had in my Final project was creating meaningful artwork. The Big Idea for my final project meant a lot to me because I had a personal experience with my sister going through an eating disorder. I was hoping to show how serious an eating disorder is and I also wanted to show that it is possible for a person to overcome an eating disorder. I feel like I accomplished this goal in my work by my cohorts reaction to the images, they were amazed, not only by the images.

2. My most challenging learning experience in Photoshop was masking. The problem wasn’t understanding what masks could do, it was just knowing HOW to do all of the perks masks offer. By the final project I felt like I had a pretty good handle on how masks worked but I still feel like I could play around with them more to fully understand how they work. Considering I had never used Photoshop before, every concept was difficult at first, but I would have to say learning how to layer and control the color and intensity of images is something I mastered by the end of the quarter.

They both deal with similar Photoshop concepts but the image from my final has so much more meaning behind it. Anyone could tell that there is so much more thought behind this image. The image from quiz two is just an example of technique and it is not as strong of an image.
