I dont have access to any of my pictures right now (at work), but here are my responses
1. What is the most significant accomplishment in looking at yourMidterm or Final? You can talk about technique in Photoshop,investigating your Big Idea, creating a meaningful artwork, etc.
I particularly liked the midterm project, which allowed me to play with subtly modifying pictures to alter the meaning, while retaining their photographic realness.
2. Choose a project in the class and discuss your most challenging learning experience in Photoshop. Focus on a technique or concept from Photoshop that was difficult at first, but that you mastered by the end of the quarter.
Actually, I really didn’t learn anything specific new in photoshop (ive been using it for 8 years now), but It was good to get experience in CS4 and on the Mac. I am currently running CS2 on my personal machine, and I liked getting to explore CS4, it’s a great evolution for the product.
3. Compare two projects from the quarter to compare and contrast how you achieved making meaning in the work. Try to showcase in your examples an improved capacity to making visual images that mean something as opposed to being a showcase of technique.
I think a good example would be the first quiz, with the truck heading right towards you, VS the midterm. The techniques I used were similar, but while the quiz is quite straight forward in what its getting across, my midterm project is much more vague, and requires a little more thought to analyze and apply a meaning, as it is designed to be interpreted in a variety of ways.
