This is suppose to reflect the United States history of all the tragic events of the past but, I really had a tough time finding the history of tragic events because, there were a lot events that happened this is suppose to mean the America went through a lot but, it just made America united. I felt this was a good idea to make this because of the shocking events portrayed. While I was working on this I learned how to use layer masking and overlay most of all plus how to use the magic wand tool with shift to circle up things you want and what you don't want. I learned that you have to individually move pictures with it's own slot. Another neat trick i learned is using the transform tool in the edit file to actually maximize or minimize pictures in any shape or form.
Images:
ReplyDeleteWhile taking a look at Alejandro’s montage project I first had to critic the images that he decided to include in his project. Out of a total score of 5 I gave him a 3 because he had chosen good pictures that conveyed the story of America but overall the images looked kind of weird when placed together. What he should have done was to better choose the place where he was going to place the pictures to make the image flow better instead of just pasting them together.
Image manipulation:
In Alejandro’s montage, I thought that his image manipulation was unfocused and incomplete but did include a little of manipulation. I gave him a 0 in that category because some images that were on his project had bad erasing of unwanted products. I can see that he made some attempt to erase but a lot of white spaces around the picture that had to be polished. There are also a couple of pictures that don’t have any erasing around and they totally look like pasted on there. I can also see that he used good color manipulations to blend the pictures with the background selection and that was a plus, and that’s why I choose to state that it was incomplete.
Collage:
While grading Alejandro’s overall collage I decided to give him 3 out of 5 because his collage conveyed a good story that contain pictures that went good with his story. His collage was creative and contained colors that caught my attention. I also thought that his background was a good selection made by him.
Reflection:
His reflection talked about what the collage was supposed to be about and the challenges he went through while creating it. He also talks about what he learned to use while creating it and the different methods he used to create the final image. He only wrote 1 paragraph and that’s why I choose to give him 3 out of 5.
