Reaching Out of Bounds

In this unit, we were meant to learn spacial relations and how to add dimensions to a piece. This unit has made me come to have negative feelings about the pen tool. It's not that I don't love the utility of it, but rather get annoyed with how perfect I feel the need to make my lines while cropping. Although achieving my self imposed pen standard is time consuming, this is not necessarily a bad thing, as it pays off in the long run. If I was to do this unit again, i would attempt to make a more unique piece, with a flashier final product. I think that this unit does a very good job of teaching how to add dimensions to a picture, and I cant really think of any way to improve upon it.

In this unit, I was given the techniques necessary in order to help me match color and brightness levels, as well as texture, and there were many steps involved in transforming the images. As I was following along with the instructional video, I would notice that certain things didn't look right in my image, and would change them, only to find that these would have been steps addressed later on in the video. It was a good feeling to know that I could find and fix inconsistencies in the photo before I was even instructed to do so. I didn't expect some of the tools available in Photoshop to be so effective. Some were able to do amazing things which are still beyond my understanding. I think that this particular lesson is an excellent one, with lots of excellent information, and an amazing, yet not too difficult to attain final product.
