Evaluation

I have enjoyed this unit immensely. We began in easy stages, and I found it straight forward to begin with. I soon found that I needed to refer to guidance notes as the technical aspect became more advanced. I do believe though that with more practice I will master all of the techniques and become proficient in all areas.

I particularly liked how easy it was to change colours in designs. This gave me a useful and quick tool to contrast colours in my design, making colour selections virtually effortless. It would be far more labour intensive if I had had to draw out the design several times over by hand to test colour contrasts.

I also liked the fabric rendering section, where images could be used from google to then wrap on my design. I liked the immediacy of the results, making it easy to trial many different designs in a short space of time.

I felt disappointed with the colour reproduction of some of the images in the blog.  They were not a true representation of what I had used on Photoshop.

Initially I had difficulty setting both the offset and the anchor for the pattern repeat exercises. However I found with practice my skills improved and by the time I completed the mirror pattern section I had no difficulty with this.

In conclusion I have really enjoyed learning these new skills and I find the application both time saving and exciting. I look forward to using this again in future projects.
