I chose to depict my struggle with SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder. I used brighter colors and a smile to show how I am when it is not late fall or winter, and darker colors with a sheet of rain to show how affected I can be by the weather or what time of year it is and how sometimes I completely shut down. My skin gets more pale and my hair gets darker along with my life. I'm proud of my final product because I think it really shows my biggest struggle in life.

I loved this project making myself into someone complete opposite of what I am, it took about 2 hours and I had a blast with it. The only thing I struggled with was picking the correct opacity to not make myself look like some kind of doll but I think it worked out and I'm proud of my final product.

I liked this project but it took a lot of tries to find a good match with the lighting because I was unsure how to change the lighting of just one layer and not the other. I tried to put myself in the full house family, on the cover of frozen, at the table in mean girls, and I even made another copy of myself at whistler but standing on my board. Overall I am proud of my final product at the top of whistler in Canada because this is somewhere I really want to go and I actually see myself being and placing myself here using photoshop makes me want to take this picture there. The hardest part was finding the right match to work with but once I found a good match it was smooth sailing. This project took me about 2 1/2 hours to complete but I personally think it ended up working really well besides the minor focus issues that I had with the stone next to me.

I struggled a lot with the laces on the boot and with the actual mesh part, there were too many different shades on the keychain that I used and it made it look complicated because they were all shades of brown, I liked the idea that I had because it's my favorite keychain and it took me about 2 hours to create the final product but overall I think I did a decent job especially because I facetimed into the class when we learned the mesh tool because I had the flu and I pretty much had to practice it a bunch on my own and did not have time to perfect it but I feel as though I did a good job considering.
