1. Pantone colors cover a lot of the image. They change the darks and the highlights, so it makes sense to choose wisely colors that can contrast each other well. Pantones are crucial to know about, but because it is more expensive in practice, CYMK is going to be preferred for print. CYMK allows a variety of print colors for less, while Pantones are best to choose from one to two colors. 2. The process of working with Pantones over CMYK is restricting. Understandably, there are fewer options available. CYMK colors must be translated to convert into Pantone for more diversity. The printing process is easier to use with fewer Pantone colors. The printed final product is deeply rich with those fewer colors. With CMYK, a viewer can look into the mixes between Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black to see the different colors.  3. The most difficult part of this project was trying to create a mood using two colors. I did not want to create a piece with random colors so I chose blue and green...

  How did you meet the objectives of this project? Do you feel you were successful? Write about your creative process in manipulating the image? This assignment was difficult in that there were many steps. The benefit of following directions is that it leads to a fuller understanding of a narrow process. I did my best to follow the steps. I practiced using the clone stamp tool and the patch to get rid of the tears and bends within the photo. I could not spend all my time too focused on each step. I had to keep moving fast or risk my perfectionism taking control. I got frustrated a few times but I rested in between. For that reason, I feel confident.  The creative process is one where mistakes are allowed to happen. I have to learn how to work around them. I realize that not every viewer is able to tell what else needs work on. For me, the paintbrush was upsetting to use. Each time I used it, if I let go of my click, I would have to click again for the targeted selection. Howev...
