What parts of the the project have you enjoyed most and why?
I have enjoyed taking the pictures and working on adobe Photoshop to edit the images because it was fun and I could create and take the pictures the way I wanted to and not have to be in a certain way.
Which parts of the project have you not enjoyed and why?
I did not enjoy editing some of the Brian Hubble and the double exposure images seen as I didn't like the way they finally looked.
Looking through the task list pick three tasks you would like to try again and why?
- Black and White Photography, this was the strongest piece of work that I had done so I would like to extend on it to see the other images that I had taken and had this edit to them.
- Brian Hubble, this was a little bit harder to edit seen as I struggled to Layer them yet they looked quite good so I thought that I might try to do some more this way
- Richard Hamilton, this was slightly harder yet it was quite fun to use primary and secondary photographs to create the room of the future so I would have liked to see what other pieces of work I could have created this way.
What skills/techniques did you use on these tasks?
I would used the opacity, lasso tool, levels, curves, threshold, burn tool, layers, define brush preset, manual camera settings and auto settings, lights, flash lights, gradient tool, exposure, brightness/contrast, invert, black and white, channel mixer.
From the three you have chosen can you identify one that will be redone for your final outcome?
I will do the black and white photography again seen as it was the strongest piece of work I had done. Also I would like to see what other ways I could create some more edits using this technique.
Planning?
Time needed to create the final outcome?
I will only need a lesson to take some photographs of nature; up close with detail and then I will need a lesson to transfer them from the memory card to the computer and edit them.
What equipment will you need?
The equipment I will need will be a camera, a computer to use adobe Photoshop. memory card, tripod.

Final outcome's
Evaluation.
What was the ideas for the final outcome?
My ideas for my final outcome where to develop and create more piece of work in the black and white effect, I also wanted to make some of the images creepy and eerie so then It would look different to the others, that I had done earlier in the project.
I also wanted the outcome to be something thing that I could easily do seen as nature is all around us so I didn't struggle getting the photos and I saw that in black and white the images would be better than if they were in colour.

How have you developed your idea?
I have developed my ideas by taking different photos and changing the background to make it darker or lighter than normal and I made the field of depth in the images by the colour levels tool. I also went with the idea that would work best with the colours of black and white so I made them creepy looking.
What artists/themes have you looked at to inspire you?
The black and white theme inspired me seen as I always liked the look of black and white photography seen as it is so clear and plain but yet can still make you think about different things such as emotions and they look quite elegant. I had used this theme because it was the best edit and images that I had taken throughout the whole project so I wanted to expand on it.
What materials/techniques and tools did you use?
I used the black and white tool, then I would use the curve tool to create the image a darker background so the image would stand out but I would make the foreground more visible by making it lighter than the background. I would make sure that the detail on the images would be very clear and sometimes I would see this images in an edit and they would make me see them differently.
How have your skills developed over the project?
I have learned the different ways to create thing using Photoshop. Also I have learned different tools, such as the brush preset and the burn tool. I also have learned many different techniques that I could use in Photoshop such as Ctrl+Alt+Z and this makes it easier to go back a space also I have learned that if you press "[" then the brushes would become smaller and the "]" makes the brushes bigger.
What have you done particularly well over the project?
I have done the practical part of the project well seen as I take a lot of photos and I would take them close up and have certain things clearer and in more focus and I would have the background blurry. I have also done well with using and understanding the camera settings on auto and manual mode.
What could you improve on?
I could improve on the analysis of the people and their photos, also I struggle with making the notes for my ideas about my outcome. I could also improve the amount that I write and what I write seen as I don't always know what i should write down on the analysis and the notes I make.
Are there any aspects that you could have developed further during the project?
I could have developed on experimenting with Photoshop to see the different ways I could do my theme or the other pieces in this project. such as using illustrator and secondary photos to use it for my final outcome in case I couldn't get the images myself.
Have you used formal elements such as line tone scale colour on your final outcome?
For my final outcome had used the black and white tool and crop tools and I had used the levels tool to adjust the light and darkness in the image. I have also used the curve too it adjusted light and darkness of the image and the background it created more detail on some of the images
What meaning and messages did you want to convey with your final outcome?
I went for the look of an abandoned place on some of the photographs that I had taken and on some others I went for a creepy, eerie look on them. I would also want people to have different views to my work I prefer if people had different views and have to not know what the meaning is but for them to have a meaning to the images that they have thought about themselves.
Are you happy with your final piece? What elements would you change?
I am very happy with my final outcome seen as I came out the way I wanted and I looks very creepy and eerie so It worked and I have taken many photos so thee is a variety of images to look through. I would change the topic of the images, so instead of taking pictures of nature I could take pictures of old thing such as abandoned buildings, cars, chains.
