Critical Reflection Section 2

Critical Reflection -Section 2

Connotation-
I have tried to be consistent in keeping up with the theme and its components in consonance.I seem to have fairly succeeded though a lot remains to be achieved.As I mentioned earlier in my reflection,my problem is using technology effortlessly to create visuals as I imagine them .I can think of different ways in which I could improve on the graphic and fonts.I was really satisfied with the Word Portraits-' Ancient' and 'Naughty' as they are effective in conveying the theme.In the legibility and text safe areas, I could have changed the font style and effect and colour to complement the backdrop.The adjustment in the Hue and Saturation really reflects the overall theme appropriately.The theme is neither specific nor too broad because many different elements have been used.
Attributes-
I generally like the presentational styles of whatever I created.The elements do stand out clearly and seem to be in thematic agreement. While doing the icon,and drawing the violin, better line work would have enhanced the impact of the icon created.
Placement-
The placement is important as it enhances the visual impact of its components.I have generally placed everything in the center and maintained that through out.What I felt  was that due to lack of confidence in my technological skills and perhaps paucity of time,I have not ventured to try out different options before homing on to  the final product.I would have come up with better conceptual and aesthetic gains,had I  tried to put in more variety and taken the risk of using more tools in photoshop.
