50 layers - Evaluation
For the 50 layers project I noted that quite a few people we're going for a 'post-apocalyptic' theme where I decided to go for something a little more subtle, I decided upon a' jungle' theme as I believed it would look nice and work well. Before reaching the final design, I noted a few imperfections and was able to act upon them with the help of class feedback, some of those imperfections being: the size and scaling of the bee on the front-right in comparison to the dolphins at the back, the lack of individuality with the lotuses, being only duplicates and also the sheer amount of lily pads in the back left. The comments on Thinglink stated that:
"It would look more realistic if you used different images for the lily pads and flowers, instead of just the same one over and over".
"the bee is the same size as the dolphins".
"It's a great picture with nice colours. Perhaps take out some of the lily pads".
I acted upon the feedback by deleting several lily pad images, adding and editing a second lotus image by changing the colour using the 'colour replacement tool' and resizing the bee image.
As well as feedback, their we're additional comments stating what was liked on the design, such as:
"The birds look subtle but when you see them, they are awesome"
"I like how you've made the dolphins look realistic jumping out of water"
"Really well done with the colours as they are vibrant and exciting, this makes your image stand out and makes it look good, well done"
"Good way of using ripples in your work maybe use shadows, but other than that it's perfect".
Editing the images on the document was particularly easy as I have only needed to use basic tools such as the 'magic wand', 'eraser' and 'colour replacement'. The magic wand I used in most if not all my layers to remove the background, the eraser I used like the magic wand but to do a more precise and careful job and the colour replacement tool I used to make the images of the water ripple blend in with the water in the background.
My favourite piece of the document was the water ripples under the leaves as it was easy to edit and looked naturally realistic.
