Polaroid Project

                  My strongest area of work was probably getting the background to match what I put in the Polaroids. It made sense to put my jersey for school in the background when the actual picture was me playing soccer. The area of work I could improve on was playing around with the Polaroids some more. I could of put them in different places and added more or made them better. 

                  I found putting the the Polaroids in easy, and how I would put the background with the the actual picture. However I found the composition of the Polaroids was kind of difficult. Overlapping the Polaroids was also difficult because to get rid of some of the frame I had to use the polygonal lasso tool. Besides using the polygonal lasso tool, I turned on the transformation controls so that it was easier to click on the the Polaroids that I wanted to work with. I also used the magnetic lasso tool to get rid of the rest of the picture so that just the Polaroids would show. I followed along the the Polaroids with the magnetic lasso tool so that everything selected was not the Polaroids and deleted it. I demonstrated the goal of this activity by just adding things that had to do with soccer.

                I wanted to show my love for the game, and I demonstrated it by getting a good picture of me playing and putting my jersey in the background. If I could do this activity again I would probably try to add a good quote. Also the background is kind of bland, I could add more and make it more creative. I could maybe put in a soccer ball, and my pair of cleans to add more of a feel of soccer.   

Letter Project

My strongest area of work I think is just getting the letters in the picture, It's sort of all over the place, but I like how it's confusing. It doesn't really make sense and it has people thinking, and myself also. I can improve more on my creativity, and to add more. Some parts seem kind of empty and dull. If I was more creative, and added more so it didn't seem so dull, it would've improved to be better. I could also improved on my color theory, better coloring would've made it more interesting and appealing. The easy part of this was adding in a background, and getting the type into the picture. The difficult thing was to actually come up with an idea on what I wanted to add into the picture, and trying to be creative with the letters. I had a hard time with the composition of the letters and picking what font size would look good. I used the type tool to get the letter "J" in the picture, I also just copied the letter layer to get multiple of them. I got the background online and made a new page with just the background. Then I made the two pages side by side and I just dragged the background piece to the main project and moved the layer down to the bottom so it would be behind everything. I demonstrated the goal in this project by just added random J's and not really having a specific topic. I wanted it confusing, and it is kind of confusing. It really doesn't have a meaning, and it gets you thinking what it really is about. If i could do this project again, I would probably change my font to different fonts. Changing the font would make it more confusing and help better achieve my goal. I would also add more to the project, some parts seem empty so I'd change it and add more J's to the empty space.
