Avatar Reflection/evaluation:
Respond to
each of the following dot points (using complete sentences or paragraphs). You
should include as much detail as possible in your responses.
·
Describe any
problems or difficulties you encountered during the creation and editing of
your avatar. These may include; technical difficulties, corrupt or missing
files, knowledge of Photoshop tools issues. etc;
During the creation of my avatars, some
problems that encountered was when I found out I had to get new eyes because the
first pair was from Google and therefore copyright, it took a long time to find
some new ones on flickr. Another problem that I encountered was my black
leather jacket. While looking on flickr for a black leather jacket, I couldn’t
find any that suited the avatar, so then I had to ask Mr Andrew whether I could
use an image from google which he then did.
·
Explain
whether your planning and organization (of ideas, files, inspiration) helped during
the technical creation;
My planning and organization of everything
that went into making my avatar did help with the creation because if I didn’t organize
to borrow a laptop and do task earlier, I would of stressed and would panic the
night before which helped with the time management of the avatar which helped in
the process of the creation of my avatar.
·
Discuss
whether you made effective use of the provided profile template to organise and
prepare the required image assets and assist in the creative decision making
process;
I did make a good and effective use of the
profile template that was provided to organize and prepare the images and
assist in the descision making process of what to do through good time
management for example, borrowing a laptop at least once a week to work on the
avatar an doing my character profile early so I can fit the avatar with the
profile.
·
Clarify any
time-management issues you encountered during the process and describe the
steps you implemented to improve in this area;
During the time of creating my avatar, I did
have one time-management issue, which was when I tried to get a laptop. I
handed it in a lunch but since too many people needed them, I was to late to
get one. Ever since I always handed them in at morning tea so I could assure
that I could borrow out a laptop.
·
Discuss whether
you undertook adequate and detailed reflection to throughout your project. Have
you provided enough evidence to support your work? (Look back at your blogs/journals
and think about whether it looks like a whole terms worth of work);
As I look back on my reflections, I realize I
could of done a bit better at the discussion on each of the photos, but I
overall did undertake the right steps in doing a detailed reflection throughout
the term which I am extremely happy about.
While completing this avatar task some tricks
I learnt was to do as many tasks as early as you can so you won’t have to
stress and worry about the avatar 1-2 weeks before the due date.
Discuss

·
Are you satisfied
with the final result?
Yes. I am
completely satisfied that I did as much and the best work that I could to
complete this task.
·
Would like
to change any aspects of your avatar?
If I could,
I would probably change the background sky to dark time in the angry photo of
my avatar to make it more dark and evil to make it seem dark.

start the project again what would you do differently?
If I were to do
the project again I would change the happy expression to a sad or mad.
