Clone Wars: Reflection

I think my strongest point of my work is where i placed the clones and how i had each of them interacting with each other in creative ways. One area that could be improved is the way i colored in the clones, which some are a bit jagged on their outlines and two are fuzzy on their head. The easiest thing about the project was coloring in the clones, since i had already lined all the photos up most of it was a piece of cake. The most difficult part was lining up the photos because they had to be so precise and perfectly lined up in order for you to even start doing anything, and the way some photos were taken made it very difficult to line up.
     I used the move tool to move and resize my pictures and to line them up while using to opacity tool to see if i had lined them up properly.once i did that i made a layer mask and started to use the brush tool to paint in one clone on one layer onto the other. I demonstrated the goal by creating more than five clones interacting with each other in different and creative ways. If i could do this differently however, i would make the clones interact with each other in more of a dynamic way like fighting or playing basketball on a court maybe.

     I think the strongest area of my work was the use of contrasting colors, i used orange and blue which are complementary colors and they go together very well. One thing i think could be improved is the composition/patter of the letters, i should've tried other cool and interesting patterns. I also could have used more colors other than blue and orange to make the piece really pop.

      The thing that was easy about this activity was that i was only working with one letter so it wasn't very complicated to move and mix around the letters in a design. Having background knowledge on some of the tools helped too and made this very easy to be creative. What was difficult about this activity was the fact that i had to make my own pattern/design. I draw a lot but designs aren't really in my range cause i'm not very creative with them. Even though i knew how to use these tools they were a bit finicky and i messed up a couple times with layering the letters.

        I used the transform tool to shrink and expand my letters, then i used the move tool to move them into place as i wish, For the biggest S on the screen i used the blur tool to give it a moving and blurry effect and put it on the top layer. I used the gradient tool to kind of give all the letters a filter and layered in on top of anything else. I demonstrated it by being able to make a contrasting pattern by only using one letter but using th tools to change it and make it unique. I would definitely do this project again if i had the chance, though i would want to learn about more tools in Photoshop before i do so maybe i can add something new that wasn't in the first one like a more interesting pattern that's beautiful to stare at or a unusual color that may pop when on top of the two i already used.
