Designing environments was tough. What I realized after a few days in this class was that I didn't know how to compose my shots. It's funny how intuitive composing is with a camera versus drawing/painting. You take for granted with a camera that you have a tool to focus your eye, you have the light of the scene you are capturing, and you click a button.
This isn't the case with design. EVER. What I realize in creating some of these is that my drawing skills need a lot of work. I know what I want to see, but executing the idea is the hard part. Just like when I was in sales. I could call someone and tell them about a great idea. but to push that idea to a final transaction where someone gives you money is the hard part. There is no difference between design and sales. The only difference is the form. It's all art.
After taking this class with a master of environment design I now see that my deficiency is in knowing what tool in photoshop to use to execute my idea. I dont know the tool well enough and at this point can only rely on the brush and value control to communicate my ideas.
