Unlearned Lessons of War
a) What changes did you make to the original images you used?
I started with my original image of the girl kneeling in front the memorial with an American flag. I then added in the other images and used a layer mask to take out any un-wanted pieces of the photos. I brought down the opacity of the images so that people could still see the original image and the photos that were added.
b) What pleases you most about the technical quality of your work? Why?
The thing that pleases me most in the technical quality of my work is the way I used layer masks in all my images, I found this pleasing because I was able to use a new skill in the project and show that I can use it in different ways for each image.
c) What displeases you most about the technical quality of your work? Why?
The thing that displeases me most in the technical quality of my work is the way I placed the images. I found this displeasing because it might not look appealing to someone who was looking through all the blogs and it might look like the images were thrown together by someone who was not in the class.
d) What new techniques or skills did you learn through the completion of this activity?
The new technique that I learned was the layer mask. I found that this technique was very useful in how I put my image together and the way I was able to save space and not make it look messy.
e) What message did you hope to convey in your collage, if any?
The message I hoped to send with my image is that we should respect the soldiers who have gone over sea’s and show respect to the people who have fallen in the line of duty protecting their country.
f) What emotional response do you hope to elicit from your audience?
The emotional response that I hope to elicit from my audience is people should be proud that soldiers are defending our country but should feel a sadness that many people will die because they are trying to save many more lives in their own country.
g) What changes would you make to improve on this image?
The changes I would make to my image is that the images should be more spaced out, and I feel that I could have used a more variety of images and not just the black and white images I have now. I also feel I could have added more words to my image.

great job
I like your work
I enjoy your picture even though it didn't come out quite the way you wanted it to. It appeals to me, i enjoy how all of the elements that you used come together in such a fine way. I think that all of them realy set the mood, like the soldier blowing his horn and the little girl in almost a ball. Those images put together gave me a true understanding of what you were trying to say with this message. I thought that you also answered all of Peter's questions well. The only thing I would hope that you would do next is to use more of Photoshop CS' tools, the can turn things into magic.
I really like this photo because you make it looks old fashion and the people that you have put into it just looks great together. Amazing job!

I like your art because...it has all the aspects of war and peace and respect into the pictures. At the same time you don’t put too much into the picture it but it’s an awesome job, and topic.
Your art makes me feel...like I am participating in Remembrance Day for the moment of silence.
I don't understand...How we have not solved world peace yet.
I like your art because... it shows how war is bad
Your art makes me feel... confused
I don't understand... why you used a white photo
