Reflection
This project was full of fun and stressful moments. It was on of those things in which you are having a decent time playing with it but if you move something wrong then you are done. This project was a form to find patience with myself and school. It does take quite a while to create what you want, specially if you don't know much about the program.
Struggles: Finding new elements to make the outcome better. I feel that if I were to have been more familiar with the program my collage would have looked a bit more clean.
Failures: Making each piece extremely clean.
Successes: Finishing the digital collage on time. Also a bit success for myself was making it seem exactly like I wanted.
