Project 3 Reflection: PokePan

1. From the planning phase I think I was too ambitious. I had no time to climb a mountain. So there.

Even so, I decided that I wanted to be the very best... That no one ever was... But I checked out a tripod without a foot. That kind of set me back. I took a picture in my backyard. The camera was shaky and that made the photo difficult to edit in photoshop. The photo was also too long and the content aware fill created choppy effects on the fence. The next time, Io solved this problem. I prepared a tripod and I made my photo the ideal length. I honestly think experience was the issue.

2. My project used an outward cone shape. The valley in the center created a line taking your vision through the whole photo. The dominant feature was the watermark and the text that gave interesting flavor to the picture. If you saw the picture without it, you would see a valley and mountain without repetition and unity. However, the text provided a unique feeling of a battlefield and a journey/open world.

3. Other students should plan better and realistically. Don't mess around and use every opportunity to take photos. Also, take extra photos. The only reason I was able to come back from my first mistake was because I payed a lot of attention ot the videos at the beginning of the unit.

4. It is a mountain and a valley with a pokemon quote and pikachu in the corner. The foreground is dominated by foliage. Overall it gives off a feeling of an open world to explore. The focus is the quote because of its size and color. It sets the tone for the piece. The skyline, mountain, and golden brush provide contrast and eye candy. The quote is the literal interpretation. The artist is successful because of his pikachu. Other works aren't as detailed, nor do they have pikachus.
