What did you like about your image?The gradient change on most of the spikes on the alligators back created a good texture and the colour of the alligators body as I felt it was very close to the actual colour of one, these are the only real positives that I take from this bit of work as ill explain below.

What would you improve if you did it again?Id use a simpler image for my work as I found this one very difficult to make recognisable, I would try to make the tail look more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, as well as the mouth and legs, I would've also liked to change the background but with the work on the spikes I did not have time too.

What did you like about your image?I liked the look of my sharks body and fins as I though the colour scheme and proportions look aesthetically pleasing to the eye, I also like the background that I created for the work as it looks like the ocean is getting darker as the shark goes deeper into the water as well as the additions of the bubbles and seaweed.

What would you improve if you did it again?If I did it again I would aim to improve the mouth and gills of the shark and add texture to the sharks body, I would also add more too the background of the image such as fish or other forms of sea life, I feel like the background is too empty, also I would try to rotoscope the whole image as apposed to just the fins, gills , tail and mouth.

What did you like about your image?I really like the CM Punk clipping mask effect used on the second image and the tracking and leading tool, the CM Punk clipping mask effect worked perfectly and I gained the desired effect that I was looking for, this is down to the tracking and leading tool making it possible to push the letters of my name closer together so I could get the image of CM Punk to look coherent.

What would you improve if you did it again?Id use less effects on my first set of names if I could do it again as the last one doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing on the eye.

What did you like about your image?I like the effect and process that I used to gain such effect because it is simple yet creates a very neat and abstract effect just like a comic book, my first image of Triple H is perfect for this very reason as it captures the image perfectly but the image also has the abstract feel as the water that is being spat out in my image looks almost like flames.

What would you improve if you did it again?If I did it again I would probably use more abstract and surreal imagery to create an even more interesting image effect but otherwise I think the effects work just how they were intended.

What did you like about your images?I liked the fact that with photography you can get good real life crisp images in almost no time to use in a project, these images took 30 minutes to gather and aim to capture the emotions of loneliness happiness sadness and excitement.

What would you improve if you did it again?Id change the sadness and excitement images in order to get a better look on the bullies face and less blur on the shot of me jumping.

Illustration

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?Not much as I don’t have good illustration skills but I think I did better than I expected, especially with the CM Punk logo on the shirt.

What would you improve if you did it again?Id add more detail to the T-shirt and add shading and textures to the shirt, beard and hair of my image.
