I asked Ted to analysis my art piece against the graduation portfolio
rubric. He categorized my technique as developing with a basic
application of photoshop. My experimentation is limited, but he can
see the point of view. He told me that I could improve my attention
to appropriate method to communicate my message. He recommended I use
the gradient map to make it look more natural. Also to try creation a
contrast between what sticks out or the art part and the background
which should look more boring.

I wanted to know some cool techniques that I could use to make the
car in the picture stand out from the rest of the background. Another
student suggested that I could make it pop art style. In photoshop I
went to Image>Adjustments>Threshold and I adjusted the part of the
photo that I selected. Then I went to Image>Adjustments>Gradient Map
and chose one of the different colors available. This way I could
make the car be very different from the original photo. Creating art
out of a photo through a medium.
