type project

the strongest part of my type project would have to be the shape of the robot i made with the outline.the outline was the strongest part mostly because it actually makes the shape of the image and it makes the little details stand out a lot more than it dose already. the part of my project that can be improved on the most would have to be the little details such as the eyes , legs , sides, and the camera lens i could've got closer to the edges using the pen tool and such.
the tools that i used the most while creating this would have to be the pen tool and the type tool. the pen tool was most helpful because it helped me get the little details which i wouldn't be able to reach with any of the other tools. also the type tool allowed me to write on the path of the lines and the area type tool where i was able to write o the inside of the image to fill the space plus cover up the empty spots.
the easy part of this project was the typing part because all i was doing was covering up a space with word that described what the image was. the difficult part of the project was the outlining of the whole object. if i could do this again i would only change the figure and the words in the body of the image plus i would make the body stand out more. but if i had to grade myself i would give myself a 7/10 mostly because of the time spent and the shape of the figure.

poly portait

This poly portrait was rough to make it was quite aggravating. but while doing this project i found that the most successful thing on my project would have to be the gradient and the color ways i used multiple diverse colors that connected with the skin tone. the part i can and should improve on is the outline of the facial features because it would make the skin and the features stand out a lot more. the tools that were the most helpful while creating this portrait would have to be the pen tool where i could outline the body and the features to make it look as clean as possible by outlining the parts that i would need and also the other tool that helped me out a lot was the eye dropper tool where i could chose a color and place it anywhere i chose plus whatever color i needed.
this art project was very simple but very annoying the easy part of the project would be just choosing a picture and outlining the features needed as in the facial features. but the hard part i experienced during this was the shapes of the face because the corners were difficult plus then u had to add the color to the shape you made and you would have to make sure all the shapes made were closed and had no openings or it would look awkward. if i had to do this project again i would make sure all my facial features were outlined well instead of sloppy. finally on a scale from 1-10 i would give myself a 6-10 mostly because it was a rushed project and plus my background.
