Heyoo !

Here are some screenshots of what I came up with for our virtual installation. Truthfully I struggled a bit with this assignment. I found that going into the project I had a lot of ideas and a certain vision in my head of what I wanted to create but struggled to execute it. I followed the tutorials pretty much step-by-step which helped to show the base of what needed to be built but then anytime my ideas deviated from the tutorial or an issue came up I struggled a bit.

I totally understand it’s just a “practice makes perfect” situation – I was totally lost when I first started working with Adobe products but with time you figure it out. I’m sure that with more experience in this program it’ll become easier but in the meantime I definitely found it a challenge to produce work after seeing a few tutorials.

Other than the struggles though I think it wen’t relatively well. In my head I pictured a space that was filled with larger-than-life images from my MAGA critique earlier in this semester. I was hoping to play with the effect of spotlighting the individual walls to have a more dramatic effect. I was essentially thinking of the opening scene of the movie RENT – the actors are all spread out on stage in individual light. I was hoping to create four spotlights coming from the center and emitting light onto their respective wall however I was only able to get the directional light source to work. The idea was a room that depicted the importance and magnitude of the ideas critiqued in the original piece.
