Final Project

For your final project, your directions were to choose one of three portrait styles, (Mark-Making, Low-Poly, or Vector) and digitally “weave” it with the original photo.What style did you choose and why?

I chose the Low-Poly portrait style because the Low-Poly portrait was my favorite project of the year, and I love how they can be so simple yet lifelike at the same time.

What tools did you primarily use for this project?

The tools I used for this project were the actions tools, layers, gradient, average, triangular marquee tool, and the rectangular marquee tool.

What were some of the challenges you faced during this project?

Some challenges that I faced during this project was making the weave and gradient look neat and complete, and getting the Low Poly done on time, allowing me to finish the project on time.

In some cases, weaving two portraits together can be challenging because major details, like facial features, can become confusing or even lost in the process. Was this a challenge for you? Do you think you were successful with your weave technique? Why?

Yes, this was a slight challenge for me, but not a major one. I do think I was successful in my weave technique as I spent the time to make sure all the squares fit and no gaps were left, which took quite some time but ended up being worth it. The gradients are correctly positioned and make the weave look 3-D.
