While it can be very difficult to
find a flaw in the perfection that is my work this semester, I eventually found
a way to critique myself. In my creating of MP 3, I forgot the first rule of
making a creative, visually appealing piece, DEPTH. Depth in images allows the
viewer to look through the piece, past the image on the surface. I was overall
very dissatisfied with the amount of depth in both of my pieces, mainly the
second one with the red and gray boxes. I began using Photoshop before I
enrolled in this class in an attempt to work for the football team in design.
Athletics is clearly my strong suit when it comes to Photoshop pieces, mainly
because of the wide variety of images that can be used to create depth. In that
piece, I wish I had used an image such as a bird’s eye view of Ohio Stadium in
the background to give the piece more depth.
My biggest
success this semester is easily MP 5. I will admit that I had two of the more
entertaining action words to play around with for this assignment. I knew right
away that I wanted to light something on fire, but the true jackass in me came
out when I decided that, instead of twisting something on fire, I should just
light the word “Twist” on fire. Hand sanitizer was the perfect medium for this
operation, and the outcome was fantastic. Through this success I learned how
creative I can really be, and how to be resourceful to achieve the desired
outcome. Overall, I have really enjoyed this class, as it has expanded my view
on photography and art as a whole.
