    The strongest aspect of my work is the interesting design I drew. The lotus flower and the swirls that follow underneath it. I think its the strongest aspect because it is unique and the lotus flower is beautiful and it means to rise above the murk of darkness, it means that you will see past the bad to get to the good.

    The aspect that can be improved on is that I should of made it had color and it would of popped a lot more. I could of add a green or blue or pink coloring and each other represents something different. I would of had to chose a color that represents me and how.

     The easiest thing about this activity was coming up with an idea to draw. I couldn't choose between something, if I really wanted to do it but than I saw the lotus flower and thought it would be great since it is a unique type of flower.

    The most difficult part of the activity is that I can't draw so it was very difficult to finally get a decent drawing. It took me a few tries to get the right drawing and I just added things off of my drawing like the swirls.

    I demonstrated the objective by using the tools to make the tattoo look realistic. I warped the tattoo around my neck so it would look like its actually on there. And I blended it with my skin to make it look real.

   If I could do this activity again I would change the coloring and maybe add more designs. I really like how it came out. I would also change where I put the tattoo, even though it looks nice on the neck I feel like it would look a lot better on somewhere else.

  The strongest aspect of my work is all the different colors and how my background also represents something that I really like. This is my strongest aspect because it has detail. An aspect that can be improved on is the edges on pictures they should be softer and more rounded. If the edges were softer it would be easier to blend.

  The easiest part of this project was finding the 10 pictures, because you could do things that represent you as a person. The most difficult part of this project was trying to get them in the right positions and to try to get them look good.

  I demonstrated the objective by using alignment, contrast, proximity and different filters. I used my background as one of my pictures and I filtered it and kept over lapping it with filters, instead of having a regular red and white youtube logo I made it purple and blue. If I did this activity again I would change the pictures to blend even more than they are now and filter the pictures more. I wouldn't organize them as much I would let them be more "free."
