Collin Hensel - Graphic Design

The strongest technically aspect of this project, was the computer in the front. This computer started off as a small thing with the window to see inside of it barely coming out. I used the perspective tool, and warping to get it to show up like how it is now. Nothing else took that much work. My piano in the background, covering the river, could be improved. It could be improved by looking cleaner than it does currently, by using a different tool to get it to look like that. The easiest part of this project was finding the pictures and putting them into photoshop. The most difficult part of this project was figuring out what to put on the project, and how big to make the objects once they are on. I had trouble coming up with things that I could put on it. All of these pictures had a background of some sort. I had to use the lasso tool, and magic wand to get rid of this background, which was the point of this project. I would put less video games on that pro...

Collin Hensel In my project, the strongest technically part is the faded text, at the bottom, with a drop shadow behind it. I think that this makes the water look a lot better than if I just used normal text with no effects on it, and adds another level to the design. I think that the mast of the boat could be better, but I don't know any way to do it. I would like it to be more filled instead of how it looks now. The easiest part of this was adding the gradient to my background. The rest of the project took a lot more than lining up where I wanted the gradient to end than this did. The most difficult part of this was warping the S into my sail. It took a while for it to turn out the way that I wanted it to. I demonstrated the objected of this art activity by making a boat out of S's, and utilizing the tools that were introduced in this. If I were to do this again, I would probably chose a different letter to make it easier to do certain designs, like a C instead of my S...

This is my first post for graphic design.
