1. In as much detail as possible record the steps it took to create this project in photoshop. Use complete sentences.​
First I gathered all of the images I used in my identity collage. I started cutting them out and putting them all together using blending modes. I then took my self-portrait and kept blending the images. I used color overlap on my background and some images to create a darker appearance. I even changed the exposure of some images and added effects to make them blend in a little more.

2. Define the terms as they relate to Photoshop: Blend modes,  layer masks and adjustment layers. Give a specific example of how you used each of these in your identity collage. I used blend modes to blend my images, giving them a blend to my background. I used layer masks to remove the background of all my images after cutting them out with the object selection tool. I also used a clipping mask to make it so the clock tower is the only one with the adjustment. I used the adjustment layer to change the exposure of the clock tower.  
3. How does your college represent your identity? What specific images did you use and what do they represent about you? 
This represents things that go on in my life or thing and people I care for. The bear represents my nickname "OSO" which is bear in spanish. I added shooting starts because I believe you can achieve anything you put your mind too.I added the wave because I feel like at this point in my life I have a lot of pressure on me to just have a good image or be good at something. I put the clock because "only time will tell". I put the cross and the pray hands because I leave my life up to god and god knows whats in it for me in the future. 
4. What was successful in your project? What was unsuccessful and what would you do differently next time to solve this problem?I think it was successful but I know I could have done better if had put more focus into this project. Next time I think I wouldn't have redid my whole project.

5. Based on the learning target, what level of mastery does your project demonstrate (Exceeds, Meets, Needs Work, minimal understanding). Why do you think? Make sure to provide specific evidence.
I think I meet the requirements because I checked off the box from our guide.
