So this project was my first foray into actually making something in Photoshop. I’m not really proud of it but it’s there and it’s probably the best it will ever be. I had a hard time conceptualizing an actual core idea for what the image would look like (I eventually chose “Fork in the Road” if you couldn’t already tell). The only creative choice here I’m somewhat proud of is how I used the color gradient in the background to support the idea of two potential paths represented through a contrast in color. The vector pattern in the background does look a little too busy to me; The best I could do with remedying that was adding a drop shadow to the fork’s layer to make it pop away from the background. I had an oddly hard time finding suitable images for the project and even now what I have might not fit the quota for resolution (the grass looks very crunchy).

I intuitively know there is something else wrong with this but I can’t tell what the exact issue(s) could be. Maybe I should have made more obvious cracks in the road where the fork pierces into it. On a more positive note, I think I’m actually making progress with learning Photoshop’s fundamentals for once. I might just start making random images for my own amusement in my spare time, I could use a new hobby. I guess I like my final product here. I’m not sure if I’m proud of it, but I like it.
