The "toilet roll + sushi roll" and the "fan" + gum" sketches have potential.

FEEDBACK

Even though it's photoshopped, It doesn’t look photoshopped enough. It’s something I could have been physically staged. Try Swiss roll with toilet roll so it can look more merged.

For the photo manipulation project, I created two different compositions with the same photo manipulation image for further exploration.

REFLECTION

Experience

While working on exercises and projects 2 and 2B, I learned how to colour black and white photos in two different ways: using a brush tool and the quick selection tool with the "fill with solid colour" option. Also, learned how to adjust the colour settings of images to balance them out together and how to utilize clipping masks to create double-exposure images.

Observation

I observed that it took me some time to figure out how to do colouring by using the quick selection tool with the "fill with the solid colour" option. Later on, I figured I kept creating a layer mask when it was not required in the tutorial. 

I found that I genuinely enjoyed the progress of creating my self-portrait double exposure as being able to express myself through the project with the skills I learned in class. However, I need some improvement on the clipping mask skill. Also, enjoyed visualizing my imagination in photoshop.

Findings

I realized that even though these are yet essential skills I learned in class, it was already enough for me to express my imagination by utilizing them in several different ways. I'm already looking forward to learning further.
