1. What is the most significant accomplishment in looking at your Midterm or Final?
Well in looking at my midterm on the Series 1 drawing where you see a fence going down a path. It was a challenge to get the perspective just right on this going down the path where objects had to be rotated and positioned. I used the stamp tool tool copy portions of the floor to make it look like a myst that spread out from one edge of the bridge path to the other. This gave objects in the distance kind of harder to see. If you look at the far right there are two friends jumping into the air this is elusive to the eye at first.

2. Choose a project in the class and discuss your most challenging learning experience in Photoshop. Focus on a technique or concept from Photoshop that was difficult at first, but that you mastered by the end of the quarter.
The most challenging experience was in that when you have many different layers each of those objects on those layers only take upon a certain portion of the view area. At first I didnt realise this and I would try to manipulate an area of the drawing but nothing would happen.  A significant mile stone was reached when I learned that I had to select the layer I wanted to work on and modify thepicture in the area it was located at in the view. But then if I want to apply an adjustment layer it was challenging at first to fiure out the logic on that it affects everything below it in the layers tree. On the ajustment layer if I want it to only affect the layer just below it I needed to create a clipping mask on it. This allowed me to go forth with some cool things and control the chaos that I thought was going on initialy.

3. Compare two projects from the quarter to compare and contrast how you achieved making meaning in the work. Try to showcase in your examples an improved capacity to making visual images that mean something as opposed to being a showcase of technique.
In quiz1 I showed two types of games quake3 and unreal tournament 3 and they were placed onto a path that came from a bunch of grasses that created kind of a tunnel look. The meaning here is one of these two games will win the path of the gamer in which games he plays in his life during a timre period. For me personally its quake 3. In comparing this to Midterm Series1 here I am sitting at the end looking out into the sea down a bridge and there are groups of friends either looking into the path or looking down the path. So both of these pieces of artwork show some parallelism in usinging a path that aligns it to some meaning. Here are the two pices of artwork being compared.
