Typography Self Critique

• What is your typography piece about? Why did you choose this subject? My picture is of a giraffe. I chose this because they are one of my favorite animals. 
• Did you choose specific words for your piece? Why did you choose the words you did? The words I chose were words that described the animals and facts about the animal. I chose them because they made the most sense to use for this project.
• This is a tedious process, be honest! How are you feeling about typography now that your done? Hate it? Enjoying the final product? Was it worth your time? I do like the final project and I do think it was worth my time, but it was a tedious process.
• What might you try different next time? Next time I think I would try out different fonts, but I'm pretty happy with the final product.

Filter Self Critique

What do you think is most successful about this piece?
          I thing the most successful part is that the filter kept his facial features but added a cool techno effect.

What do you wish you could change?
          I wish I could change is the lighting on the left side of his face. It just cuts off his face and makes it blend in with the background.

What was the most enjoyable part of this project for you?
          The most enjoyable part of this project was that there were so many different filters you could use. Also, I liked how now that we know how to use the filters, we can use it on our own pictures.

Did you find anything about this process challenging?
          The only thing I found challenging was dealing with the light in the original picture. If you tried to change anything in the picture besides the light it would distort the face.

Do you think you will use these filters in the future for anything?
          I definitely think I will use filters in the future, either on school projects or for my own personal use.

How do you feel about your digital art skills so far?
         I feel like my skills in digital art are getting a lot better than when I started this class. I have never really been an artsy person and now that I get to explore the different things I can do, my skills are getting better.
