In project 3 I learned new ways to cut backgrounds off images, and also how to easily make monogram type patterns. The easiest part was also the most tedious part, that being cutting the background off the image of the mic stand. The most challenging part of this project would have to be thinking of the metaphor that I would like to illustrate because while I could think of many metaphors many of them did not seem to work well in this form. If I could add anything else to my project I would probably add a gradient to the background and possibly a drop shadow to the mic and glass combination to add to its realness. I also think your teaching of this assignment was executed perfectly. The thing that I lessons use from this project in the future would have to be the pattern-making skill and the new background cutting techniques because I can see many different uses for these skills. Our call where we went over how to execute this idea was the most beneficial part of this project because it helped me create something that looks good.

With this project, I learned how to effectively use colors to distinguish an objects’ position and bring a location to life. The easiest part of this project would have to have been creating the distinguish an objects’ position and bring a location to life. The easiest part of this project would have to have been creating the Outerspace location. The hardest part of this project would have to have been the city location because I was not too sure what colors would accurately show the distance between the buildings. My submission could be improved by adding more details such as stars in the space location or more windows in the city, or particles in the sky in the desert, and the water of the ocean to add more realism. This assignment was perfect how it was at least in my opinion. It felt like a satisfying sequel to project 1. In the future, this will help me to choose colors for whatever I’m making that will all blend satisfyingly. The complementary colors lesson helped me because I had forgotten all about how to use the color wheel so that worked as an excellent refresher.

With this project, I learned the usefulness of using primitive shapes, and how you can create complex designs through the use of simple parts. While starting this project it seemed challenging, once I had figured out how to capture my imagination the project ended up flowing together. The hardest part of this project was figuring out what I wanted to do for it. This submission could be improved if I was able to use color for it. The only thing that could be improved on this would be having a better explanation of how to print because that was the only issue I ran into. I already used the knowledge of manipulating shapes gained in this to make a couple of logos for myself. Finally, the best lesson for this project was the introduction to Figma because it allowed me to see where all the features I was familiar with in photoshop are within this program.
