Pop Art Photograph

Pop Art Photography Project 

Reflection - I actually found this "Pop Art" project really hard to complete just because I am not really familiar with Photoshop therefore it was kind of challenging and frustrating at times when things did not go right the first attempt. The background featuring the same picture of me multiple times with a rainbow overlay is an example of something that worked really well regarding my project. It was exactly what I would have pictured when thinking of a good background to use. The most challenging part of the whole project was probably figuring out which tools did what and how to use them. It was quite difficult at first but I feel as though I got the hang of it towards the end. Another challenge that I had was using the "magic wand tool" because it was hard for me to precisely "cut" out what needed to be cut out and keep what needed to be kept; I do not really have the lightest hand when it comes to that type of stuff. I do not really have something that I would do differently next time just because I really like my pop art and how it reflects my personality, but if I had to pick something it would more than likely be using other tools that would potentially make my photograph look nicer. Examples of the types of tools that I made use of are the "blur tool", "gradient tool", "the magic wand tool", "rectangular marquee tool" and the "move tool". The "blur tool" allowed me to blur out the two figures on the sides of the one located in the middle. The "gradient tool" allowed me to add the cool graphic rainbow design to the background of the pop art photograph. The tool I found most helpful using was the "magic wand tool" because it allowed me to specifically cut out the main part of the photo and layer it to the background to tie the picture together. Ways that I can use this knowledge in the future are that Photoshop can allow me to make all types of creative pieces like posters, edit old pictures, etc. /
