Ok, class is tomorrow and we need to have 3 Transformations done. This I found harder then I had expected. I found I didn’t trust my creativeness. After scanning in several things I finally settled on flowers that I had gotten for my wedding anniversary. I just scanned them and then tried to rely on what I had learned in class so far, and things that I knew about photoshop. It took several tries and going back to edit a lot, but I think I have the 3 that I like the best. I think that they all work together. It was nice to have some feedback for the Facebook group to help give me ideas and things to change or think about. I am excited to learn the 2nd part of this in class tomorrow. We will be working in InDesign.
So here are the 3 I liked the best.
Discovering Myself 
The colors in the flowers are very vibrant. When stacked on top of each other, they flow together really well, but I wonder about side by side. In terms of your observation that you don’t trust your creativity, maybe I agree. You need to trust yourself more so you can make more radical design decisions and see how they work out. Push the limits of transformation more. There is always the undo command! I love the colors on all the panels, but the one with the horizontals is still my favorite because it’s the most transformed. Even if you decide to go back and stick with less transformation, try to push past the stopping point that seems safe and really take risks. Some people need to know how to pull back but in this case, you fall into the camp of those who could further push boundaries.
