PROJECT NAME: How May I Help You?


NAME: Sydney Audet

a. Predict what problems you may in contour with the software and or the overall assignment, state
your reasons why you think this.
I think that some problems that I will have with this assignment is that I will have difficulty with
the quick mask tool and also creating a layer mask. Another difficulty that I will have with this
assignment is creating a drop shadow for the characters that I have chosen. I believe this because I have
never used Photoshop before and I will take some time to learn how to properly use all of the tools.
b. A paragraph explaining which application(s) you used to create the project. This is not a step-bystep how-to response; it is rather a general description of the application and process you used.
(E.g. After creating a box, using the rectangle tool. I used the convert to curves tool and modified
the box with the shape tool, until I achieved my desired shape)
During this assignment I used many applications that helped me in finishing my project. I used
tools such as quick selection which helped me in highlighting certain parts of a photograph that I wanted
to cut out and used on my project. I used the refine edge which helped clear up the edges of the
photograph. I used the paint bucket to fill in a character when using the layer mask which help make the
characters appear behind something. When I had to move the picture or I had to get a closer view I
began to use both hand tool and zoom tool.
c. Write a brief paragraph describing a problem that occurred during the project. What
specific obstacles(s) did you run into? How did you handle it?
When working on this assignment I experienced many problems because I have never
used this program before. However, my two main problems were creating a drop shadow and
adding a layer mask. I didnt know how to use the quick mask tool to highlight a part of a
character and then add a layer mask so the character that I choose ended up becoming behind or
in front of something. I forgot many of the steps when I was creating the drop shadow and how
to properly duplicate the character and make it black with Alt+Backspace. I first tried to figure it
out on my own but I soon asked Mr. Liske for help.
d. After completing your assignment, what would you of liked to change on your work?
I think that I would have liked to change my original idea because my idea included 5
characters that I had to add to the project along with using all of the tools to create the finished
assignment. I think that if I went for an easier idea then I wouldnt have as much difficulty with
finishing the project then I did with the 5 characters.
ASSIGNMENT INPUT:
1. Do you or did you not enjoy this assignment? Briefly state you reasons why.
I did enjoy this project because I got to Photoshop a picture with my own idea. I
also enjoyed how I was learning more about Photoshop even though I had no idea of how

the program worked and I didnt know how to properly use the tools that Photoshop gave
me. I enjoyed most of the project except for when I didnt know how to use a specific
tool or I would keep having to retry everything and undo most things.
2. What would you recommend changing on this assignment?
Something that I would recommend changing on this assignment is to make it so
that I can learn more about Photoshop at a slower pace instead of just starting out without
knowing anything about Photoshop and to make it easier for people like me who have
never used this program before.
