My strongest technical aspect of this work was how he showed up within the polaroids. I like how I have his bass and and his arm playing it coming out of the polaroids, I also like how I had him seem to be walking out of them as well. I also think how I positioned the polaroid surrounding his face was really nice because it seems to fit around it perfectly. I think I could have improved on how the area around the bass was erased at the top. You can still kind of see the background around pieces of the bass because of how thin they are but I like how they kind of look purple.
The easiest thing for me was setting up all of the polaroids. I thought the places to put the polaroids was kind of obvious, at least to me. I wanted this to look a certain way with all of the polaroids surrounding specific ices and I think I achieved that. The hardest part of this for me was making the background, originally I had some problems and the background would delete partially and everything would turn a bunch of rainbow colors and mess up the entire image, but then I shut the laptop off for the day and restarted that process the next class and everything was fine. I got the background to look the way I wanted it to by including the logo for the band he is a part of and music notes to represent what he does.
I demonstrated the objective of this project by picking a picture that I could separate into different sections, and then surrounding those sections with polaroids. Then I erased parts of the polaroids to give the appearance that he was coming out of the shots. I then made a background to go along with the theme of the overall picture. If I was to do this project again I would maybe change up the background so it could appear a little different. Maybe I could put in music notes that seem to border around where he is.
I can tell by your work that music is a big part of your life. You did a great job employing the polgon lasso tool to create the illusion of Polaroids overlpping with something breaking through. I like that the background thematically connects to the foreground but I feel that it is a little to busy. When you have a minute, shut the eyes off the upper left logo and the crown on the right to make some breathing space.
