I believe the strongest part of my work is the idea on how I wanted to morph these three animals together. I wanted the lion to look like it's mane had a zebra's coat and I wanted for the eyes to be elephant eyes and have tusks. What I can improve on in this project is blending everything together. If I had more time, I would have used the warp tool more so that the lines of the zebra would curve with the lion's body.
    What was easy about this project was adjusting the eyes. I used the warp tool so that the elephant's eyes were that same proportion as the lion's eyes. What was difficult about this project was getting this animal to look real. Again, I wish I had more time to line everything up and fix the opacities. I know I could have done a lot better on this project.
     I demonstrated the objective in this project by choosing three different animals and morphing them using the quick selection tool, eraser tool, and mixer brush. If I could do this project over again, I would use different body parts to create a hybrid animal rather than animal textures. I would combine something like a penguin, giraffe, and rhino. If I could redo this project, I would take my time and really try to create a realistic hybrid animal.

     I believe the stronger part of my work is blending. I have smooth transitions from light to dark colors. It is easy to tell what I was trying to paint and there are no choppy parts. I guess I could improve on using to tools overall. I feel very confident with this piece, but I can always be better with using the actual tools.
     What was easy about this project was figuring out which colors to put where. It was easy to distinguish how many colors I needed to have in a certain area in order to make the blending easier. What I found difficult about this project was figuring out which hardness and flow would suit the project best. It was difficult tying to figure out how to blend the colors together, but it definitely got easier the further I went into the project.
     I demonstrated the objective in the activity by using the eyedropper, paintbrush, and blend tool to paint a picture on photoshop. If I had to do this project again, there is absolutely nothing I would change bout it. I am 100% happy with it and I am very proud of myself.

     I believe the strongest aspect of my work is the set of of the pictures. It actually looks like Allissa is being crushed and it oohs like she is actually talking to the teddy bear. What I can improve on is the focus. The first picture would look better if Allissa was more clear and the teddy bear looks slightly out of focus too.
     What was easy about this project was the levels adjustments. I find that I can easily tell when a picture is too dark or too light. The color adjustments is also a little tougher to get right, but that is pretty easy too. What I found difficult about this project was actually lining up the camera angel with the objects to get the perfect picture.
     I demonstrated the objective in this project by playing with the focus in my camera, using camera angels, adjusting colors and color levels to make a scenario look realistic. If I had to do this project again, there is not much I would do different. I would probably just explore different set ups of the objects and people.

     The strongest part of my work is the colors levels. I feel as though I have a smooth transition from light blues to dark blues and dark red to light red and so on. What I can improve on is actually matching the colors with one another. I think the green does not match as well with the other colors and the red could have been a little brighter overall.
     What was easy about this project was using the magic wand tool to select the contrasting colors and then using the paint brush to change them into a different color. There was not anything that was difficult about this project. I found it to be really easy and I did not struggle with anything.
     I demonstrated the objective in this project by using color adjustments and the magic wand tool/paint brush to create a pop art picture that makes humans into objects. If I had to do this project again, I would explore my options a little more and not use the  same color base for one photo. So for example, I would have purple, blue, and red for one picture and yellow, orange, pink for another one.

     The strongest part of my work is my levels adjustments. I made all of these pictures much brighter or darker and brought out more details by doing this. What I can improve on is the actual pictures themselves. Some are slightly slanted and the perspective views could be better.

     What was easy about this project was finding motion to take pictures of. All that I had to do was take a picture of someone walking or someone on the swings. What was difficult for me was trying to figure out which settings to use for blur and motion.

     I demonstrated the objective in this project by adjusting my motion and blur pictures to make some of them lighter and darker. I took some of the blue out of the last stop motion picture and made it more yellow. If I had to do this project again, I would try to use more diverse glow sticks to create better blur images. I would also check my elves before I adjusted the colors.

     The strongest part of my work is tilting and overlapping the polaroids to fit my body perfectly. Without it being too crowded together and busy, I fit the polaroids so that they frame my body. What I can improve on is color contrasts. I had a difficult time using the color adjustments for my background. I could not get the color shades quite how I wanted them to be and I could not even out the colors to make them all one tone.
     What was easy about this project was figuring out what parts of my body were going to penetrate through the polaroid pictures. It was also easy to make my legs come through by using the erase tool and erasing the polaroid part that was on top of my legs. What was difficult about this project was trying to use the magic wand tool. I still struggle with figuring out how the numbers match the colors. Occasionally, instead of using the wand tool at certain points, I just used the erase tool.
     I demonstrated the objective in this work by overlapping and using the color adjustments settings and erase tool to create a collage of polaroid pictures. If I could redo this project, I would change my background. I feel as though it is blotchy and it takes away from the foreground too much. I have stripes on stripes with the background and my shorts and the window blinds. I think it would have been better if I had a more solid background color.
