Hello! Today my parter and I talked about the project and talked over with the teacher as well. The three of us have now a general idea of how this is going to look. She sent us a very cool picture drawn be one of her friends. we will be using this as part of the card. I started editing the picture so it will blend and we could add text and the picture would not interfere with it. My friend created a brush using lines since we found in a tutorial that creating a brush would save us time. Honestly this is mostly what we did, since we spend some time waiting for an email and my friend had some other work to finish as well. We still need the info that would be going in the card. We have brainstormed more ideas and are slowly coming up with the right layout. We want this to end up looking really well since it is for our teacher :) Im sorry my log for today is rather short but there is not many things to write.

Today I was not sure what I was going to do, so my teacher offered me some ideas since she needed help with some projects. I found one of them interesting and fun so me and a friend decided to work on it together. We looked for a layout and waited for some emails with information on what had to be written on the project. We did not do much but we talked it over and planned how we wanted this to look like. The final idea has not yet been laid out, but we will get there. I find the idea very nice and adequate. We are still wondering where exactly things are going to be placed but we managed to get a general idea. We will continue with this next class since my parter has some work to do.

Learning log May 16th

I had not done my learning log for a few days since I always end up finishing my stuff at the last minute, but today I am catching up.
I continued doing my picture with the watercolor tutorial since I did not like the way it looked. Truth is I still do not like it but it is all I could do.

as you can see it does look rather weird, I did not enjoy the brushes even though I downloaded many. I created a mask tool so I would reveal the image as I used the brushes. Then I added some color to make it look a bit more realistic. The background paper was also supposed to help make it realistic. I have noticed that even though I followed the tutorial it did not look the same way even when I followed it step by step. I guess the only problem I encountered was the brushes. My friend Karen gave me the advise to add more light to the figure that way it would pop out, so I did and I think it gave it a nice effect. I keep asking myself where I can find the brushes used in the tutorial..

learning log

Today I tried to do one of the tutorials but it did not work out. I could not find the brushes used in the tutorial so my picture ended up looking rather weird. I learned a new way to add watercolor effects to pictures. I had trouble with the brushes. It was a quick tutorial so I finished it today but I want to try it again and find the right brushes.
