Winter GIF+Reflection




The most frustrating aspect of this project on Photoshop was keeping track of all my layers.  Even though I labeled my layers with what components were being added, I would still just make little touch-ups on parts.  Also, If i wanted to go back and change a minor detail, it would be difficult to find what layer that component was on.

The tool that I feel most confident in using is the eye dropper tool.  There were many instances throughout creating this project that I would need a specific color that I had previously used, that is when the eye dropper would come into play.  The eye dropper tool would help me find that EXACT color.  I also became confident in using the elliptical marquee.  I had to use this tool to create the bottom of the mug, the top, middle, and bottom of the snowman, and I used this tool to create the top of the mug (the hot chocolate).  

I really enjoyed making a symbol/gif on Photoshop.  I would love to learn how to use real pictures on Photoshop next.
