How I Created "Whats In My Name?"
1. To create this project it took many different steps, first of all I had to go through a few practice rounds in order to understand and work with photoshop well enough to start. Then I started with my name, looking for a font and getting all the pictures that I thought represented me. I then would add all of them into my name using "create clipping mask" and other brushes to create pop outs and shadows.
2. Clipping masks is used to cut out 2D images in an editing software, like Photoshop. Anything placed inside the path, or the letters for this project, would be included in the words and everything outside would be omitted. In the future I cold possibly use a clipping mask to create some kind of business logo if myself or someone I know would ever need one, or things like invitations.
3. Something i think was successful in my project was the aesthetic of my name and my pictures, i really like how they all were similar and didn't throw off the whole theme I was going for. Something that was kind of unsuccessful was the pop outs in some images, like the image in the 'L' of my name. it was really hard to work with and crop properly. Next time to fix this problem and make it easier I'd try and zoom in (something I've recently learned) and play around with different brushes.
4. I believe, based on the learning target, my project demonstrates somewhere between exceeds and meets the level of mastery because the font isn't really special but many of my images came out well and visible. None look like its bluntly cut off and same thing goes with my pop outs and it doesn't look very rushed and I made sure I took my time so everything looks nice and organized.
