    This video is a quick five-minute beginner introduction to the Photoshop program. What I find difficult in this video is working in layers since it is different from Illustrator. What I find easy in this video is how to use the image adjustments since it is just a button in a panel. What I found interesting in the video is the explanation between what saturation and vibrance is. I see it as something that I would use when wanting to professionally edit an image.

    This video is a 13-minute tutorial on the basics in the Photoshop application. What I find easy in this video is brush tools. They seem pretty self-explanatory and mimic real life which I find understandable. This application is more manual so I feel like it might be easier to use as you actively have to bring the brush across the picture if you want to change something. I can potentially use the Photoshop brush tool to actually draw images in the program like it's a sketch book. I never realized that before and I might try it in my free time.

    This video is another beginner run down of the program. What I found challenging about this video is blending mode function. Once again, I just feel like it gets confusing with the layers and on which one you apply it to with the layer mask. What I find easy is the clone stamp tool. It is very simple and gets the job done. I would use this tool if I wanted to efficiently fill in the background for an image. For example, instead of cutting and pasting grass I can just make it into a brush and then clone stamp it throughout the background.

Animation

Final Animated GIF Original Image used Artist Statement  For this animation project I illustrated and animated a fish with bubbles. I was inspired by the Goldfish cracker stop motion animation seen in advertising. The title of my animation is "Don't burst my bubble", I thought it was a clever play on words that fits with the animation at hand. For this assignment I followed the tutorial provided as well as a few from YouTube which helped me get specific help in the areas that I was confused on. This is my first time utilizing the frame animation panel in Photoshop therefore I wanted to try making something simple since I am a beginner in this section of the Adobe Programs. Additionally, I was not able to fully complete this project as I have a family emergency and would not be able to get additional class help. I did submit what I had completed despite it being shorter than required and partially complete.

Post Card

 Final Postcard: Artist Statement: To begin my Postcard project, I used my Illustrator Self-portrait final image for the requested main image. The most difficult part of this assignment was making sure that the initial measurements were correct and following the guild lines, as well as the exporting package instructions as I had never done that before. I used the shape line tool to draw out the lines on the back of the post card and I included my Tag brush logo. For the location I picked Paris, France as that is where Marrie Antoinette was queen and that was the theme of my Self-Portrait project. Overall, this is a very simple yet good introduction towards working in Adobe InDesign.

From the "The People's Portfolio" what brought me close to my emotions are the photos from the "Rights in Russia" photoshoot. Specifically, the photo that features Natalia Voronitsya laying down on a couch with her computer on her lap and the medication on the side table in the background.  I like this photo because it is one of the more creative ones in this collection. The placement and composition stood out to me which is why I clicked on the photograph to explore it closer and learn more about the story behind it.  The tragic and unfortunate occurrence of her condition partnered with the look in her eyes and expression made me feel deeply for her. The caption perfect described her with the word "confined" which added to the power behind the image.  Natalia's face has a hopeless look while also having her laptop open which shows that she is simultaneously trying to do something. Yet the screen isn't on and it's black and matching the emp...
