Catch up

Its obvious that I forgot to post for projects 2 and 3. I have now added a sticky note that says 'BLOG FOR DIGITAL MEDIA' on the wall next to my computer so that I don't forget again. Project 2 was using the automate function to make a gallery of photos. I liked this project because I liked adding filters and distorting the photos. I encountered problems in having the sequence I used to work on all of the photos, so I did a few different ones until I found the one I liked. After doing the project, I think that staring off with somebody elses photo might have helped the overall gallery to look better, but I like how it ended up looking in the end. Project 3 was using shapes to make 2 self portraits in Illustrator. This was definitely my favorite project so far. I like using simple things, such as shapes, to make a bigger, complicated picture. I liked the meticulous work that was involved, and once I started the project I couldn't stop working on it. I liked investigating the different tones in the skin and hair in the 2nd version of the portrait and I liked the simple and meaningful 1st version as well. Overall I really enjoyed the project, and after the critique I learned helpful things to improve my work, like not needing to define my teeth with black lines.
