Evaluation 

I am happy with what I have produced. I think for my first time using Adobe Photoshop CS6 I have produced a decent piece of work. But I feel it could be developed a lot further because I feel it is boring and doesn’t create a sense of shock.

I have noticed there are 5 elements in my image that I have created. There are the police cars and fire trucks on their way to the scenario, the volcano erupting in the background with explosion and the big ash cloud over shadowing the piece as the background with a rendered cloud effect. The colours of the image is dark and gloomy as there is a natural disasters happening so the colours aren’t going to be colourful and bright, so I think I have used the appropriate  colours to match he mood of the image. I used so many tools and I even made my own brush pre-set for my image. I got all of my images off the internet and I have referenced them.

I used layer mask on some layers I created. I used the blur and smudge tool so the images that don’t look they have just been copied and pasted in my piece. I also created my own brush by selecting an area which

I wanted to a certain image to put into my piece so I created my own brush, then I went to edit-define brush pre-set and this allowed me to create the area that I selected to transform it into a brush.

I came up with my final idea by discussing it with other pupils for what I could do. I came up with this idea, but when I created it, it looked very boring. There is now a comment on my blog which I could add cars burning and crashing and also more helicopters. although I cannot add to my piece as I have run out of time. It has given me new ideas to make my piece more exciting and shocking. For future reference, I will work better at creating a piece which is a lot more interesting to develop my work further.
