I started doing the dragon tattoo file after when I navigated all my tattoo folders in order to be on separate tabs. Because this is new to me, and I didn’t learn much about the links of what I used during this assignment, but I’ve learned that if you want to make the black visible and white to disappear, you change the “blending mode” and change it to “Multiply”. I also make sure that I need to erase some areas of the tattoo in order to make sure that the tattoo perfectly fits the areas of the image.

I started focusing on the cape first because it was something that was the easiest part. I learned that when I want to change colors on different areas of the image, I go to “Adjustments”, and click on “Color Balance”. I make sure that I DON’T delete the color balances because that deletes the color from the image, and turns back into it’s original black-and-white, but when it’s necessary for me to do so, then I press “backspace” key to delete it. I always make sure that I pick the right color on the image, and to not let the color overlap the lines of different areas. That’s why I’m using the lasso tool (pushing “Ctrl” & “Alt” with it) to make sure that almost everything is perfect.

This is how it looks like when I turned the image black-and-white into colored. I read the instructions, but its struggling because I didn’t of read it that carefully even I thought I did. I kinda messed it up when doing this project. But I’ve learned some things when Mr. Smith is helping me on this work.

Contrast: A difference created when elements are placed next to each other.

Alignment: Every element in it is visually connected to another element.

Repetition: The action of repeating something that has already been said or written.

Proximity: Proximity minimizes visual clutter, emphasizes organization and increases viewer comprehension.

I think Principles of Design means designing things with different colors, including black and white, different shapes and patterns, like repetition.
