Proposal
My Client is a huge fan of Anime, he would like a graphic poster. He wanted a silhouette of a anime girl looking up at the night sky with a sword. Her back is gonna be turned to the screen. In the night sky there are gonna be lots of stars with northern lights in the sky and there's gonna be a lot of emphasis on the color in the sky as she is looking off into a mountain range.(Photoshop)

Final Product
Reflection
I chose this project because it seemed like it would be fun to do. I liked the idea of making this really vibrant night sky. The challenges I faced were probably making the northern lights, just getting the right shape and look of them was pretty difficult but I just kept testing different brushes, effects and blurs but I ended up getting the look I wanted, also the stars were difficult trying to get them to look realistic I ended up just making my own brush preset. I think this project shows my progression because I used DM1 stuff like gradient for the sky but then I did advanced methods like making my own brush presets and adding blurs and effects to get a more realistic look. I believe I did good, I wish I would've made the mountains just a little lighter so you could seem them more. From this project I learned how to make my own brushes and use different effects to make things look more realistic like slights outer glows on the stars. Overall I was very happy with this project and would like to keep doing this to further improve my skills in adobe programs like photoshop and illustrator.
