Wallet

Self Reflection : This one requires a bit more explanation then the others. The Red and Black thing on the far left is something in a comic I read regularly called a Kernel Sprite. The next thing to the right are two faces of the same person. They are also from the comic I read (which is called Homestuck on mspaintadventures.com) and are probably by far my favorite character so far that has been introduced. They describe who I am because they are the more quiet of the group in the comic, and frankly I think purple is an awesome color.

The next symbols to the right that would be on the inside of the wallet represent the Alliance (Blue) and the Horde (Red). They are part of the MMORPG World of Warcraft. That describes me because that is one of my more popular past times at home. I put both on because, unlike some players, I like both factions and have played both.

The last two things on the wallet, where I expect is where the money goes, are Vault Boy and a Vault Door. They have to do with the game series Fallout, which is owned by Bethesda. The Fallout series is by far my favorite game series which is why I wanted to put it on my wallet. It describes me as I like fiction and am interested in apocalyptic stories.

Edit : I was told that those flap like things will be bent into the wallet, so I edited the images.

If you were to do this assignment again what would you do differently? (5 points)
Probably nothing, I think the end product came out well, all of the items on the wallet describe me in some way. The first 3 things on the left are from a web-comic that I read regularly and are one of the many interests I share with certain friends. The World of Warcraft faction banners show who I am. I play the living hell out of that game with decent people who act like I do. As for the last two images of a Vault Door and Vault Boy, they are from my favorite game series. It shows I like fiction and am interested in things like post apocalyptic times, even though I know living in those type of scenarios would royally suck.

What have you improved on by doing this assignment? (5 points)
How to edit and recreate images with Photoshop.

If you were to offer a future student advice about this assignment, what would it be? (5 points)
Nothing. It is a personal assignment so there's not really anything I can suggest.

Do you have any suggestions for me the teacher if I assign this assignment again? (5 points)
Physically show what parts of the wallet are what. Even with the video I was still confused of what parts needed to be covered with something. It took me and the person next to me to have a slight idea of what other parts needed to be covered.
