The strongest technical aspect of this is the gradients in the sky and on the water. It took the most effort and knowledge out of everything else. The streaks in the sky could be improved. They are pretty blurry, and do not show the northern lights properly. The easiest part of this activity was finding the correct colors because I just had to use the eye dropper tool. The most difficult part of this project was find a picture because I could not find anything that looked good. I used the brushes to blend and to make the picture look good. I would chose an easier picture if I could do this again.
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...
Sky and water work really well together and create a realistic fade in the sky and on the water. You did a nice job on the fading of these and creating atmosphere. The mountains are the biggest issue for me and its more about the outlines you created and the idea that they just seem to be a lowered opacity on the browns.
