GIF Reflection

1) My concept revolves around the idea of imaginative and creativity. It shows a person walking (which I do a lot) and a lightbulb popping over his head on the last frame to express that he has an idea. It shows that I am a creative genius. I arrived at this idea because on my thumbnail sketches, I described myself as an imaginative person. One of my sketches was a lightbulb and I thought it would be a good idea to have a person running or walking and have them get an idea. This is where I incorporated the lightbulb. This relates to me because I always have creative ideas while im waking down the street or wherever I am. 

3) My animated GIF has evolved from it's original idea because my it was simply a person walking and having a lightbulb pop up over his head. It was too simple so I put a tree in my GIF to make it look like my person is walking past a tree. It gives my GIF a little extra illustration to make it seem more appealing. Then I fixed my person walking so it my GIF wasn't choppy and it flowed a lot better.

Photoshop Project

1) My project concept is college and basketball. I picked college because as I was touring Syracuse University and I really liked the campus as well as the basketball gym. I took multiple pictures of the gym and used it in my project. I also pick basketball as my other concept because it's my favorite sport and I want to play basketball in college. I included Stephen Curry because he is my favorite basketball player.
2) The title of my project is "College Ball."
3) I am not very happy with my result because I know I could've done better but I ran out of time and had to rush though some of the components. In the beginning, I just mixed up with some of my ideas and couldn't decide on a concept. I also wanted to include myself in my project but I never took the right photo and it didn't fit into my concept so I couldn't include it.
