While using Photoshop, what was the most frustrating aspect of the program and/ or project?
The most frustrating aspect of this project was creating the transitional frames. In my mind, I wanted the mouth, eyes, and cracks to move while leaving the rest of the GIF still. I gave up on the eyes, but I was able to add transitions for the mouth and cracks with tweening.
After completing the project, which tools do you feel most confident in using?
After this project, I felt the most confident in using the paint, eraser, and eye dropper tools because I felt I had the most control when using these tools. Since the mouth was kind of small, I learned that I could paint each and every pixel if I zoomed in. I thought that skill was very useful especially since I'm very detail picky.
Which tool do you wish you were better at using? Explain why?
I wish I was better at using the selection tool. Since there are so many options, it gets a little confusing since I have poor memory. There are options where you could use different shapes to select, ones where you could add or subtract selections, and one where you could just click the layer and it would select it.
What would you like to create next in Photoshop?
Similar to this project, I think we should use edited, original photos where we make a montage like GIF. I feel like it doesn't have to make sense, but there should be a theme. In Photoshop we could learn how to remove the backgrounds and edit in new ones or something like that. For example, I could have multiple pictures of places and edit in characters that would move along the photos.
Another thing that we could do is make surreal images from original photos that we take. We could transform a sunny day at the beach into a dark, stormy fighting ground for gods or dragons... I don't know. Be creative!
