The steps I used in Photoshop to create the image is I first cropped and changed the color of the images in iPhoto. This later helped me figure out the correct sizing of the letters in the frame without the images looking squished. The first thing I did in Photoshop was I picked out the correct template according to how many letters there are in my name. I chose the template name 5 and dragged this to the Photoshop icon. I then dragged the image of my first letter and fit the photo frame and clicked the check when I was happy with the placement. I repeated this step for a all of my letters, but with both of the D letters, I did image-transform-flip horizontal to make sure the lowercase d was a d and not a b. After I flipped the letter, I then merged the layers using layer-merge visible. When I was done with the placing of the letters, I saved the image as a Photoshop file and jpeg to my desktop.
At first, I was unclear how to fully fit my letters into the template without them looking distorted, but then I cropped them in iPhoto and it worked. Taking the photos was not as difficult as I thought it would be, because when I thought of a letter, it was easy to spot out shapes of them. Trying the get the best angle possible was a challenge, but I moved my body/ used zoom and took the photo, which came out looking like the letter. I was proud that I zoomed and cropped the images correctly without any struggle. I was able to easily capture the shape that I wanted to show without having a blurry image. What I like best about my artwork is the various elements that I used to create the letters. Although, the first and last letter are of both trees, I thought it was a way of connecting my name all together through the first and last being the same elements. What I could have improved on is the light exposure in the images. Some pictures have a dark background, making the letter difficult to see at first.
