The strongest technical aspect of this work was the use of the marquee tool. Between the usage of the elliptical marquee tool and the rectangle marquee tool I was able to create all different unique shapes to create my radial symmetry. The weakest technical aspect of the work was probably the use of the eraser tool. I tried my best to create a symmetrical erase line in my pink rectangles but I could have probably done a better job making it more precise.

The easiest part of the project was making the shapes. I basically got to use my own imagination and free will to color them how I wanted and their shape. I distinguished the direction by making specific shapes with each marquee tool such as using the elliptical tool for a circle and rectangle tool for a square. The hardest part of the project was making the layers symmetrical. Each layer was duplicated but the hard part was flipping and alining the shapes so that they could fir the criteria.

I demonstrated the objective of creating a monocromatic radial symmetry piece by making each set of direction one color and following the individual requests. For example when i was asked to use the clone stamp tool I took a sample from my star shape and used it to make a symmetrical pattern in each blue square. If I could change anything about this project I think I would pick a different color scheme so that the theme pattern wouldn't look like a Barbie catalog.

The strongest technical aspect of this project was my use of the pen tool. I created several different triangles to capture the value of each feature of her portrait. The eye balls required a smaller set of triangles so that the eyes wouldn't just look like giant green triangles. The hair I used the pen tool triangles to have a cascading effect instead of going horizontal. The weakest technical aspect of this project was maybe also my pen tool because it was so hard to get rid of all my slivers of negative space.

The easy part of this assignment was using the eyedropper to select the color of the value for that portion of the body. I had to also make sure that every single triangle could not be the same value as the one next to it. The hardest part of this project was having the patience to keep going. While everyone else was using a simpler image I was struggling to get through each individual segment of her picture.

I accomplished the object of the assignment because I did not let any of the triangles have the same color value and lie next to each other. I also tried to eliminate the negative space as best as possible however I still have some in my project. I also think that my usages of the pen tool triangles created and accurate representation of Rapunzel. If I could change anything about this assignment I might have picked a different photo in the first place so that I could have actually kept my sanity. But, in the end I am actually really relieved and proud of how this turned out.
