3. Process Work
After getting a grasp of the idea I am going for from the mood board and sketch, I went ahead and digitalize my design. I used a portrait from a photoshoot that was done for a previous exercise.

Mr. Martin's comments that the idea is there but it is lacking in art direction and finishing. Upon receiving his feedback, I worked on my edit by adding some key features like the a fish bowl over my head with flowing fishes circling around. I think the idea fits the theme I am going for since the fishbowl can be seen as a space helmet. I also readjusted the colors, the planet's locations as well as adding a few comets.

REFLECTION
This project is the most difficult from the previous ones as it requires you to implement everything that we have learnt so far. Nonetheless, I find this enjoyable and fun to create!
