Clone Project Reflection Essay

        The strongest part of my finished art piece is the placement of all of my clones in the locker area because the placement of the clones looks the realistic aspect of my piece a lot more convincing. The part of my finished art piece that could be improved on is the right hand of the bully clone because the hand in my piece looks too stiff for what was supposed to be a calm down motion. The tools that I used to create my work were a camera, layer masks, free transform, the opacity tool, and the dodge tool.

       I used a camera in order to take the pictures of myself in order to be able to start my project, layer masks to be able to put the dodge tool into effect since it wont work without it, free-transform so I could make all of my pictures the same size, the opacity tool in order to align the images with each other so that I could insert my clones into the picture properly, and the dodge tool so I could make the clones less transparent so that my piece is more believable. The easiest part of this activity was taking the pictures because all I needed was to get into 5-6 different poses in an area in different places while someone with the camera held still and took the pictures. And the hardest part of this activity was blending the clones into my picture because it was really finicky about how much of the clone it made disappear, even when I lowered the size of the tool.
     
      I demonstrated each of the objectives of this activity because I used my class time to the fullest extent, I used the rules of composition in an intelligent fashion by not putting anything in the center of my piece, and my picture looks clear, focused properly, has no weird double-vision effect, and is lined up correctly. If I could do this assignment again, something that I would do differently is the location of my picture because of the fact that I probably could have found a better spot if I hadn't messed up on the images that I originally took with my phone. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate my effort on this project as an 8 because I was far more efficient in terms of making my piece, but due to the fact that I messed up my set of clone pictures twice, I ended up finishing it late anyway.
