How I Created "What's in a Name?"
1. The first step I took in this project was finding a nice big font for my name.From there I found some images from the internet I liked and thought represented me in someway.From there I put the images over where I wanted it on the text then added a clipping mask.I did this for all images in this project.From there I added the pop outs by duplicating the image and releasing the clipping mask from the duplicate.I then selected the parts I wanted to pop out with the selection tool and then added layer mask to make it only show the selected pieces.After that I added a drop shadow to the text and to the popouts,finalizing my project.


2. 
Clipping masks are a tool that inserts images into another image,shape,or text.They are different from using an eraser tool because you can edit size and width within the clipped image.one way I can use this in the future is to make a collage of some sort similar to this.


3. What was successful in my project was the way my pictures represented me and flowed together in a satisfying fashion. What was unsuccessful was trying adding some drop shadow to the "letter o" pop out because of the way I edited the mask and other little mistakes and little marks around the text.


4. I think it meets the project standards because I did everything that was asked of me in an effective manner with little to no mistakes.
