Assignment 5

             The strongest aspect of my work, are the polaroids. I feel that the polaroids are very well placed. Almost none of the polaroids are overlapping in the same way. None of the polaroids are lined up next to each other while being overlapped. The weakest aspect of my work, is my background and my 3-D effect. When I began this project, I made the width too small. The picture engulfs the frame and it would have been easier to work in the background, with a larger frame. The 3-D is also not too impressive. Though it is done like it's supposed to be, the stick just seems out of place. I don't particularly like how the polaroid is parallel to the stick,that is something I would have changed.
            The easiest part of this assignment, was overlapping the polaroids. It didn't have to be neat, you could just throw them on there and you would be completing the objective. It was nice to have everything cluttered for once in a project. There didn't have to be equal spacing, you could just pile the polaroids up in one area and to looks nice. The most difficult part of the assignment, was the background. Because my frame is so small, I didn't have that much to work with. I would have put more into the background, but the frame was too small and it would have made the background worse.
            I demonstrated the objective of this activity by overlapping the polaroids to make give the impression, that these pictures were just thrown on a table or countertop. I used the wand tool to give the impression that the stick is being launched out of the polaroids onto the background. If I could do this project again, I would have definitely made the frame a lot larger in the it's width. The width limited my ability to put things in the background. I would have also tried to add more polaroids into the picture along the borders of the picture itself. Some areas had to be cut out so the background could be seen. Changing the one polaroid so that the stick is overlapping it and they are not parallel, is another change I would make to this assignment.
