Obstacles


Today I reflected upon what challenges I have to face in the future. I have chosen the topic of light and reflections as my topic for my photoshop project. The parameter of the project is not clear to me, but I will do my best to find 5 inspirational images. Today I have decided to utilize the digital art lab to scan in some of my images and further map out my project. I hope I can use this opportunity to the best of my capabilities.

Hi Ashley -

It looks like you have a good start on your project - if you are having difficulty thinking of a subject or branching off the subject you have chosen to create a larger scope for possibilities within that subject -

one brainstorming technique I have found useful is pick a general topic or subject - for example 'food' and then list out 5 associated words that come to mind for that topic - for example - 'green' 'frozen' 'vegetable' 'fast' 'money' - then list out five associated words for each one of those words -
and so on - -- you end up with a wide range of words - the further branched out you go - the more seemingly unrelated the words will be from the original source idea - but it may spark ideas in coming up with associations that you would not have made initially.

It looked like you were doing well experimenting with photoshop this week in class - continue to work with layers - and adjustment you can make to selections and layers to create interesting visual composites - in the Image menu there are many options under Adjustments.
