Photoshop Assignment



Reflection: In my Photoshop Assignment, I wanted to do something that looked fun and childish. While I was cropping and using the magnetic lasso, I had a difficulty to cut out the figure, I became frustrated about the idea. However, after taking some time, I was able to successfully portray what I wanted in the assignment. The figures that are in the background are used to re-enact some sort of game. I also used Brightness/Contrast to make the picture have a better effect. I believe that using Shadow/Highlights also put a huge impact on the picture. The best part of my assignment was using the lighting effects because I like the gleam on the waterfall, it brings out the warm colors around the background. I believe that the picture has no focal point however the red within the picture seems to attract me because of how bright it is. The space used between the characters seem to be somewhat adequate so the figures have composition. Personally, I would like to try this assignment again, even though it seemed difficult at first, I enjoyed doing this assignment because it helped me enhance my abilities on Photoshop and it was definitely a exciting experience. My photoshop assignment, I believe was a success because I was able to find out a background that was acceptable to the standards and the figures brought out the liveliness of the background.
