Art Reflection

     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.
