The strongest technical aspect of my work would have to be the space. I felt that I used my space very well, and left very few negative spaces. A technical aspect of my work that could be improved would have to be the gradation between the background and the foreground. I could have blended the background a lot better than what it was.

The easiest part of this activity was finding my person, which was Jay-Z. I had many people in mind for this project, but I really liked the color way that went with him. The golden champagne bottle went really well with his black suit. Something that was really difficult in this activity was getting the polaroids in. I had trouble finding a spot for the polaroids, and I had trouble making Jay-Z show through the polaroids.

I demonstrated the objective in this activity by using the polygon tool in cutting the polaroids allowing parts of Jay-Z and the champagne bottle to poke through them. If I could do this activity again I would have improved the background, and made it fit better with the foreground.

Tattoo Artist

The strongest technical aspect of my work was the value of the tattoo. I felt that the black of the tattoo went really well with the black background of my piece. The technical aspect of my work that could've been improved would have to be the shadows. I felt like they're were some very dark shadows, along with some very bright highlights.

Something that I found really easy about this activity would have to be finding the tattoo. I felt like there are many full back tattoos of Buddha, so finding one wasn't too hard. Something that was difficult about this piece would have to been finding a model to put the tattoo on. It was hard trying to find a male back that would fit my tattoo.

I demonstrated the objective in this activity by using the burn and dodge tool too brighten highlights, and darken shadows. If I could do this activity again I would've spent more time working with the shadows and highlights.

Landscape activity

The strongest technical  aspect of this work would have to be my use of space. I felt that the foreground, mid ground, and background worked out really well together, and looks natural. I used the masking tool to combine two skies. The technical aspect of my work that can be improved would have to be the value. There is lots of light and not much areas of darkness in this piece.

Finding things to go with the back ground, foreground, and mid ground, was the easiest thing in this piece. The hardest part of this piece was just finding a foreground, mid ground, and a background. I could have gone many routes with the landscape, but using the beach scenery made it easier to add things in.

I demonstrated the objective in this activity by using the masking tools. I used it to blend in two different skies in the background. If I could do this activity again I don't think I would have done anything differently. The beach landscape was very easy to work with for me, as there's lots of activities that go in at the beach in the summer.

Personal Identity

The strongest technical aspect of my work would be to choose my images. I choose objects that represented me very well. Every object here represents me, or something that I like. The novan and black hawk are my schools mascots, since I'm not from Bellingham. Some aspects of my work that can be improved would be to choose a better color way. The bright colors don't really match the dark background.

Something that was easy about this activity was choosing the objects that tells something about myself. Something that was really difficult was getting the objects I choose to go along with each other.

I demonstrated the objective in this piece by choosing things that say something about me. Each object here says something about me that I like or do. Like the wrestlers in the middle because I wrestle, and the wrestling mat. If I could do this differently I would've choose a different background, or changed the color since it doesn't really go with the color way of the picture.
