Project Free Choice
In this project I decided I wanted to digitally add abstract elements to an image. You basically have to cut out parts of a whole image with a simple background color in a different layer. Cutting out these features makes it so the image seems more abstract. cutting out the objects was the hardest part of this assignment as it takes a bit of time to do. In the end using the polygonal selection tool helped a ton in speeding up the progress. I thought not showing the whole image gave neat results so decided this was the project I'd like to try out. My favorite piece out of the three is the blue one because you can tell whats going on even though key elements are missing, you can tell the geese are swimming even though the water is missing I think thats neat and makes the image look like a album cover. I feel it was successful and I did a good job with it. If I were to try and improve what I did I would have used more complex pictures like the geese one and used colors from the background to tie it in better like the examples they show on the site.
