 Reflect on your use of the design cycle. What in your opinion is the most important stage in the design cycle? What steps in the design cycle are you most likely to revisit in your process (For example will you plan and plan again, create and recreate, evaluate and reevaluate, etc.)? What was the most challenging stage in the process? How have you used your problem solving and inquiry skills in the design cycle?

I think the most important stage in the design cycle is the beginning stages. This is when you have to break down your ideas and research.  You have to start to make decisions about the subject and design. I had to think about how I was going to make the design come to life.  The steps that were repeated was the research of the background, The process of picking different types of scenes using Adobe photoshop and Google images. The most challenging stage in the process for me was learning the Adobe Photoshop software.  I requested help from the teacher and asked other classmates.  I practiced until I became more and more familiar with the different steps needed to create my design.

This week I am at the Photoshop phase.  I now understand the photoshop process and have begun editing my artist for the CD cover.  So far I have created the background and pasted my artist image in front of it.  To do this I used various Photoshop tools like the Crop tool.  To create my background I went to Google Images and copied/pasted a background image on to my blank canvas.  The challenge I had this week was placing the image on the canvas and the repeated steps needed to save and download images on to the adobe photoshop, I seeked assistance from Ms. Rose.and I was able to complete it.  Formulating the CD design concept has helped me to keep my ideas fresh and in order.  The next steps is to finish the edit of the images.  My next goal is to begin the next phase of the CD cover which is the artist biography.
