Letter Composition

I believe that the strongest part of my finished artwork is the G’s that are faded within the background of the picture. I think that this creates depth in the picture. I also think that the colors I used were a strong part of my artwork, the colors go together very nicely. I think that I could be a little bit more creative when I create artwork. I feel as if my work is a little bit plain. I could have also improved using the rule of thirds. I wasn’t really focused on using the rule of thirds, I was more focused on creating something that looks nice.

The tools I used to create this artwork was the move tool, the type tool, the gradient tool, and I used different opacities for the letters. I used the gradient tool to set up the gradient effect on the background of the image. I used the type tool to place the letter on the background. After using the type tool I used the move tool to move the letters around, making some of them tilted. Once I placed the diagonal letters where I wanted I added the two larger G’s in the background and changed the opacity of them.

I think that the easiest part of this activity was the whole concept of it, having to use only one letter to create was pretty easy for the most part. The most difficult part was figuring out how to use the different tools in photoshop. It is still very new to me and I feel as if I didn’t utilize all of the tools in a way that benefited me. Once I get more familiar with photoshop it will show in my artwork. I demonstrated the objectives by creating an image using only one letter, and playing around with different tools. If I could do this assignment again I would make a more creative piece of artwork. I would try to use more tools. I would rate my effort as a 9. I redid it a couples times because I wasn’t happy with how it looked. I tried to be creative, but I don’t feel as if I was as creative as I could be.
