Self portrait project Artist Reflection

1 

      The strongest aspect of my work is the way i used the filters to make the pictures look different than the original images. This is the strongest aspect because it allows me to blend some of the images into the background and it adds more detail to each image.

     

     The aspect i would improve upon is the cluttering at the bottom because it makes the top look a little empty. This can be improved upon by placing other items in a different location that would look better.

      The easy part of this project was putting on the filters. This was the easiest part because all you had to do was go to the filter gallery and choose one that looked good on the picture and would go with the background.

     The difficult part of this project was picking out pictures to describe myself. It was very hard to find a picture that would fit what i was thinking about and it was hard to thing of ten things that i like.

     

     I demonstrated this objective by using proximity, alignment, contrast, and using different filters. I showed proximity by placing the cat next to Taylor Swift and the phone behind her. I demonstrated alignment by aligning the soccer ball behind the basketball. I demonstrated contrast by varying the sizes of each picture so they weren't all the same. I used many filters to make the images look better. Some of these filters included watercolor on taylor swift, the diffusion glow on the cat, the graphic pen on the hunger games series, and cutout on the iPhone. I used many other filters beside these. I also reduced the opacity to make some images blend better with the background.

     If I could do this project all over again I would put more pictures near the top of the picture and i would make the lines where i erased the borders of the pictures neater because they are a little rigid.
