As we progress through the year and get more assignments in our Digital Design and Animation class I've experienced a range of feelings with them, from frustration to enjoyment.
One of my favorite assignments was colorizing black and white images, where we had to use the select tool to select sections of an image that were the same thing yet different colors like say, a lake that is white at the top and dark grey at the bottom where otherwise, the Magic Wand tool would only select the white section. I chose the seaside image because I knew I could do a lot with it and it's colors, so what I did was that I got an image of a sunset over the ocean and put that in a second tab in Photoshop, so that way I could copy some colors from their and move them over without having to make them up with the color wheel. From then on everything was mostly smooth, I mixed two colors for the ocean, a dark purple mixed with a medium-dark orange to make the sea look reflective under the sky, made the sky a dark orange with some vibrant orange to the side which were connected using the Blur tool, and made the pier a darker brown. After all of that I had a few more things to color one of which was the boat, which even though it was super small it was ironically one of the hardest bits to do, as I didn't know what color to make it, I thought about making it blue like a lot of boats are, but that didn't look well in its environment, even if blended with orange. So I concluded with a tan-ish color to make the boat, and even after that is when I realized I made the water around the boat tan too. So once I was finished with fixing the water at last came the dock and some sections surrounding the water, which either were colored brown or had no color at all. Some of those sections couldnt be changed as it was part of the original image, and others were easy to change. Yet after all those struggles and small annoyances, I completed the assignment and was proud of my work, and learned a few things. Those things will help me in future projects.
