This project was a roller coaster for me. I started confident about my ability with photoshop. I found some photos relatively easily. That part of the assignment seemed to fly by. Then, I got into working. I still felt alright. I worked to get my ideas straight and to get my design down. I worked to iron out the kinks and really settle. I decided to focus on the coaching aspect of soccer. I’ve played many years and love the sport but, at some point, you have to give back to the community. I wanted to show that. I felt confident in having a set idea and having my images set, then, I saw other people’s. I then realized that maybe I was a tad rusty at all this. This didn’t discourage me at all. I used it to go in and revise my design and find a new and more cohesive way of designing my project. I decided to look over my previous design and take some time to try to find a new way to make things work. I saw a lot of people had images that they would cut parts out of and add images behind. So, I decided to try something similar as a center piece to my work. That’s where the ball in the middle came from. I then decided that I like the parts I had on my project, but they needed to be shuffled. I spent my time in class redesigning the piece, adding the middle ball and then trying out every arrangement I could to see what way would cohesively make all of the parts come together. I finally came to a spot where I felt pieces fit and worked well. I then had to make sure that my other photos and boxes also were coherent. All together I feel this piece is something I can be proud of and it will work as a building block to help me further in this class now that I have clearer ideas in mind.
