Throughout this project I definitely had a few struggles to overcome. The biggest one was changing my  project completely. At first, I had the idea that I was going to put my pictures on customized M & Ms because I loved candy so much. However, that turned out to be very expensive. Then I thought about other things I loved and thought of christmas. I came to the idea that I would put my pictures on a christmas tree. But then I couldn't find a christmas tree at this time of the year. So i put the christmas lights I found on a poster board in the shape of a christmas tree and that became the winning idea.

It was also hard printing out my pictures. I went to the computer lab to print with PhotoShop but I had forgot what pixels to use and there was no lab tech. When I made an educated guess the print wasn't to my liking. So then I sent them to wallgreens to print them for me, which worked great!


The skills I gained with this project were creative thinking, problem solving, photography skills (focus, leading the image, etc), and editing skills. I still need some help with that one PhotoShop question. I am happy with my project and the skills I learned with it!
