REFLECTION QUESTIONS
   The strongest area of  my work would be paying attention to detail when making the tattoo. This is the strongest because it makes it more interesting and something to be looked at. I could have adjusted the lighting and improve on making the brightness shine in the right place and not be as bright. I can do by adjusting how much black and white is in the picture or adjusting the hue and saturation. The easy part of the assignment would be designing the actual tattoo. This part came easy cause I was able to come up with a solid concept and image of what I wanted it to be.
   The more difficult part of this activity would be the blending and getting it placed correctly on the body. Placing it on the body was a bit challenging but it was mostly getting it bend and going around the muscles what was making it difficult. The blending was difficult because it hard to see what places needed to be more blurred then others. I used the magic wand  tool to help get rid of white around the picture, the burn tool where the skin had shadows, the dodge tool to lighten the tattoo where there were highlights, the warp tool to adjust the tattoo on the body and the blend tool to blur the edges.
  I was able to demonstrate the objective by creating a tattoo that I'd like to see, that would be interesting to look at, and detailed. If I were to do this activity over again I' d choose I picture with different lighting and try blending it better to make it look slightly more realistic.

   The strongest area of my work would be the placing of all the different objects. Now when looking at it you wont focus on just one thing you'll go around and look at all the things within the picture. I can improve on blending the picture better so it looks more smooth and not as cluttered. I can work on improving this by using more blend modes, filters, and using the blur tool.
    The easiest part of this activity would be choosing the pictures to use. This came to be easy  because I had an idea of what wanted to use. the most difficult part would be the place of the different things and having them not look pasted on. This was difficult because it was hard to find a way for them to all flow, work together, and blend.
     The mediums and tools I used are the different move tools, warp, blend, smudge , paint tool,filters, saturation, gradient, and the eyedropper. The smudge, filter, and saturation were used to help blend all the pictures. The  warp, move tools , and selection tools were used in helping with placement. The paint tool and gradient were used to add color and shadows. I demonstrated the objective by putting my two favorite artist in the picture around things I like to help design an album cover for if they were to do a song together. If I were to do this project again I'd try to bend the pictures more and more things to it so it could be more interesting.

Reflection Questions

The strongest areas of my art are the use of shadows and layers. The shadows on the sides created more light towards the center making the viewer look in that direction. The use of layers help make the lower case letters look like they're fading and blending into the background. I can improve on composition and using more of the given space. To improve on composition I could put an object in different positions and see what's best for the final look of the picture. I could work on using the space by seeing my hat can be added or needed to fill the area.  The easiest part of this activity would have been choosing the letter and colors. Choosing what letter to use was easy because I knew wanted to use a letter that was part of my name. Deciding on what colors to use was easy because I like using different shades of red and pink. The most difficult part would be deciding on the position and composition of the letters. The position of the letters became hard because I different ideas I where I wanted them.  Mediums used in this activity are the gradient tool, layers, font and composition. I used the gradient tool on all four of the sides to draw more attention to the center. The font was used to style the letters. Layers were used to give the illusion that the smaller letters were fading into the background. I demonstrated the objective by creating an interesting way to show the letter F. If I were to do this activity again I'd add more of the letter in different fonts, change the composition and use more of the space.
