Failure

     My biggest failure in this class was that I always thought about normal or natural thing when brainstorming. It should not be limited in just real object. Arts can be abstract. You can see all my projects reflexed reality somehow. My creativity was limited by the real world. When I realized that, I was trying to think what happened around me rather than what I can make. It is always a good way to start with an action, not a certain object.

     My biggest success was that I work seriously on every project, and I did learn a lot. It was fun to play with the Photoshop, iMove and Garageband for the project. I had no idea at the beginning sometimes, but I started with small steps. It might come up with a better idea later, then I change my subject. As long as I was familiar with the application, it is not difficult to run another project in a short time.

     If I could redo on project, I will change the Map (micro-project 2). In that project, I just took a screenshot as my background and added some pictures. I didn’t use much technic or effect, and the way I made the map was not creative. Many wonderful projects from classmates were shown in class. They inspired me a lot. Next time, I will probably make a hand drawing map or knock several buildings together as the background, and isolate something I think interesting on the road and insert the map. Anyway, it could be done in a more creative way.
