Creative Unit

Vertical Strips

Halftone Screen

Hand Color

Overlay with Text

Texture Screen

Overlay

This unit was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed doing it and experimenting with photoshop. I loved the projects on overlaying pictures over another, I like how they turn out and how they look. Personally i would love if we could've done a longer project on the overlaying, I think that would've been really fun and cool. The things that I wasn't so strong in doing was the hand color and halftone screen, those were not my favorite things to do, but I still enjoyed working in photoshop and experimenting different/new things.

Reflect on what you learned:
During this assignment I've learned how to do writing with light which is something that i've always wanted to learn. I've also learned how to do a blurred subject with a clear background. I personally liked doing this subject because it taught me many things that I didn't know how to do. It was also fun working with my friends on this subject.

*Why is this person important in your life?
My mom was my model for my Lighting Final. She is an important aspect in my life mainly because she is always there for me when I need her. She's always there to support me in anything i do and when I have a problem she is always there to help me and get me through it. Without my mom I definitely wouldn't be the person I am today. 

*Why does their personality dictate your artistic decisions?
Her personality dictated my decisions mainly because she likes to joke around and has a funny personality. I decided for my pictures that she would need to make funny faces in along with her natural face. She also has a bright personality, she's really outgoing, so her bright and warm colored shirt also brings out how outgoing and fun she is.

*How has this unit affected your photography?
This unit has affected my photography in a very good way. I feel like ever since we learned about how to incorporate lighting and measure it correctly inside the camera my pictures have gotten a lot more better in quality and overall they've become more interesting. They've become more interesting because of the need to express yourself in front of the camera, and not just make a blank and/or boring face.

Working with Silhouettes

Pattern

Sold Color

Gradient

Shape

*Thoughts = My Thoughts on this non traditional way of taking Silhouettes is that I like it, but i like taking Silhouette pictures outside, then outside you have an option of the sunset being your background and not some Pattern or Gradient. I do like this way though because it allows you to work with a background and experiment with different colors.

*Photoshop = I enjoy what photoshop has to offer because of the different effects you can use to edit it a photo, like if you're persons eyes have a great color to them you can enhance them and make them even more detailed. I personally like photoshop because of the different backgrounds and things you can use, like patterns and shapes and colors.

*Thoughts of Outcome = I like the outcomes of my silhouettes, i think they turned out pretty well and i liked editing the pictures and making different backgrounds. I think my cropping could have been better but i personally like how they look, i think it makes them interesting.
