Image Editing Project

The project that I chose was image editing. For this project, you had to edit an image to tell a story or to convey a message. For my own project, I chose to tell a story about myself on how I view my physical appearance as. When completing this project, I wanted to learn how to better my previous attempts of image editing using different tools. When I first started this project, I was trying to figure out what images I wanted to use and what message I wanted to convey. I honestly changed my original  images because my original images that I was gonna use didn’t have a clear message. The newer images that I choose telled a story to example the conflicting feeling on how I myself as beautiful.  Then I started working on an online photo editor (Pixlir) and I struggled to get some things to work. However, I soon started to get the hang of the tools after I started to put my image together.Some of my successes was when I was able to blend the images well together and simply knowing how to edit certain images instead of the whole image. My failures were simply messing up and deleting the entire image that I made. It wasn’t difficult to overcome, so I simply just stop making this mistake. I learned how to blend and blur other images into each other which I found to be very helpful for me. The reason why is because when I blend the images well, it makes that image look like it was always apart of the original image.I learned that I have a good habit of learning things quickly and understanding them when it comes to technology and I felt like it showed through this project that I have did.

I would want to use more of my own images that I have taken for image editing than having to go through all the troubles of finding copyright free images to use. I can only tell them not to get frustrated when something doesn’t go their way when editing. Trust me, there's a reason why they created the undo button.This project inspired me to try more image editing because I found this project really fun to do and to create.I honestly don’t believe that their was a certain tool that really helped me to convey this message. The only thing that I can think of would be the merge tool because it helps make everything look like one image. I would also say the layers tool really helped me out because if I messed up something when editing that’s far from repair, I can simply delete that layer instead of redoing the whole idea.
