BPA

I don’t think the BPA competition was as bad as I thought it would be. I was really nervous though. I left out a lot of detail that I wanted to say, but I kind of drew a blank when it was time to present. I covered the big details as best as I could.
The judges asked me how I created the city outline, and if the picture was mine. I told them I used the magic wand tool on another picture to get the outline and used a dull color so it wouldn’t stand out and the focus was on the Polaroid’s, not the background. I also told them that I used a shallow depth of field for my picture so the audience paid attention to the money.
If I were to do this again I would’ve tried not to be so nervous. I think if I wasn’t so nervous I would’ve remembered a lot more what to say. I also probably would’ve planned out the flyer better. I didn’t have any rough drafts, and I think it would’ve helped with placement of my designs.
