Montage Project





In this project I learned how to manipulate pictures in order to create a montage. I chose this montage since I think it was the best creation I did. This montage took me about two hours to create since I was not that comfortable with the way it looked so I had to keep moving things around and adding other things until it came out which is this my final draft. Also the blending options helped me a lot to get the effect I wanted, however, in some cases it was not a good thing to do since it ruined the way it should look. Overall, I think that the final draft came out looking good since I had practiced with two other montages. In conclusion, what I learned from this project was to create a photo montage and manipulate photos to make the montage look good and finally how to blend the pictures together to make it look as one picture overall.

Tutorial 75

LOADING



In this tutorial I learned how to design a loading logo which was time consuming and quite difficult since there was many steps to do. The animation part was the most difficult and time consuming since I had to copy the loading layer about forty times in order to get the animation to run smoothly. Also, arranging the loading layers inside the circle and getting them into the exact timing until it would look as if it was moving already in a static picture was the most time consuming part. I hope that over time I could do it faster or if there was a shortcut I would like to know it so I do not waste too much time in an animation project. Overall, I think that for my first time I did a great job in this project since I had no clue on how to start it. Finally, this was an interesting tutorial to work on and a good skill to develop.
