Typography

                                        Reflection questions.

    The strongest part of my finished art piece is the color contrast. I think that because when I created my art piece, I played with different colors and contrast of all of them making my art piece flashier for the eyes of the people. The part of my art piece that can be improved on are those mistakes I made when I was using the brush tool that I couldn't solve them. The tools I used to crated my art piece are: The move tool, the brush tool (b), the gradient tool, the blur tool, the marquee tool (specifically the rectangular marquee tool), the text tool, the healing brush tool, the transform tool and the filters.

     I used these tools in these ways: first, I went to color gradient and I changed the color contrast that I wanted, and then I did a line to create my color background. With the text tool I typed the letter that I wanted and changed the size of it and then with the marquee tool I select the letter and moved it with the move tool in the place that I wanted the letter to be. With the transform tool I played rotating, skewing and inverting the letters. After all of that, I used the brush tool and went to the gradient tool and selected a color to use and paint the letter inside. I used the healing brush tool to correct some mistakes that I did while I was painting. With the blur tool I created opacity in one of my butterflies making my butterfly looks like something weird but fascinating among the rest of my composition, and finally I went to gallery filter and chose the filter that I thought it'd be better for my background and I chose another filter to be inside of the butterfly in which I used the blur tool. The thing that was easy about this art activity was to create the letter and change its size, because all I had to do was to go into the text tool, type the letter, change the size that I wanted and then write the letter on the mark.

     How I demonstrated each goal of this activity is in the way I respected the rule of thirds, I used my time wisely thinking and creating something special for my composition, and I made it unique with the ideas that I had on mind since the first day I started thinking how I'd wanted that my project would look like. I'd do differently the way I placed and I created my composition. Maybe I could have done something different that could attract more the eyes of some people. I would rate my effort with a 10, not because 10 is the best number, it's just because I really made everything that I could and I spent all the afternoons watching tutorials that I thought could help me to do my project better. I did everything that I could and I feel happy about it, because I really like my project and what I did, and  for being the first time using Photoshop I'm really proud about myself and what I created.
