How does your design reflect/represent you?

My design reflects me because it's not perfect and nor am I. Green and purple are my favorite colors mixed together, the black is there to blance out the two colors. Squares are my favorite shape because you can do many things with a square like turning it on its side to make it look like a diamond (like I did in my design). The white lines that look like a light coming out of the square (diamond) makes it look like its bright and I feel like that all the time (haha). My design has mostly everything that I like, this is why it reflects me.

Reflection: Write a proposal to Whispers selling your design.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for taking a look at my design that I created using Photoshop.

I chose the light blue Mustang to represent Antonio's Dream Cars because the blue sets the mood of laid back and cool. The dark blue sky helps the Mustang pop a little because if you put a light color with a dark color it makes the light color more appealing. The desert type sand dunes give a sense of "in the wild". This contrasts with the moon to help give the sense of freedom with no limits because night appeals more to the younger generation then the day. The rottweiler brings out the wild, the cool, and the freedom that can come with the Mustang.

I appreciate you considering my design for Antonio's Dream Cars to be choosen and placed in Whispers magazine.

Sincerely,

Crystal Pinley

Reflection On: Which is your favorite Photoshop selection tool? Why?

My favortie photo shop tool is the magnetic lasso. I think is fun to use because i clings to what u want. Also because its hard to trace it, which is fun to me. I did mess up some times so i had to trace it again which was better because it was easier to get what i wanted. When i used it, it was very helpful to get just to object i wanted and not the whole picture. I think that if we use adobe photoshop again, in this way, i will use that tool again.

Reflection On: PhotoStory "This is Me"

The hardest part about putting the "This is Me" project together was how i was going to tell my story and picking the pictures. Picking the pictures was hard because i wanted non-embarrassing ones. That was hard to do because most of my baby pictures are embarrssing. How i was going to tell my story was hard too because that effected what pictures i picked. Also how i told my story shows the people watching it who i am, and thats some what important. By both of these things being hard it made it easier to put my story in the way i see it.
