Assignment #5 Polaroid

Artist Reflection:

               For my fifth assignment in graphic design class we has to choose a picture and put polaroid images around it to make it look like it was coming out of the polaroids.  I think the strongest technical aspect of my work is the polaroids placement and the trimming of the parts outside the polaroid. I think this because I believe my artwork looks good with the parts sticking out adding a three-dimensional effect. I think one technical aspect I could improve on is my background. I think I could add more to the background and add more and overlap more things.

                Something easy to do in this project I found was the overlapping of the polaroids. I found it easy to place the polaroids like someone just threw them on my image. I found this easy because once I placed all of my polaroids, it was easy to rotate and make all of the polaroids look like i just threw them on a table. Something that was difficult about this project was the cutting of my original image. I think this because it was hard to cut all of the images, one thing that was very helpful though was the polygonal lasso tool. That helped me cut my images out and made it very accurate.

               I demonstrated the objective in this project. The objective was to make an image surrounded by polaroids and have parts sticking out of it. I think I did demonstrate the objective of this project because I put some parts sticking out of the polaroids. If I could do this art activity again, (which I would) I would change the basketball player I did it on. I would choose a different image of a basketball player dunking or shooting and put my polaroids around that image. Overall I enjoyed this project and had a lot of fun making it.
