“Welcome to the Final Project section. Thank you for taking this course, and I hope you enjoyed learning with me. The best way of learning is to keep practicing. But don't be afraid of challenges, those are the small goals that you need to tackle to improve your knowledge and always get better. Before saying goodbye, I would like to show you how to share every step of your final project with Domestika’s community. First, do your research! Create mood boards and visualize the idea you have in your mind.

The next step is gathering props and building the set. Think about what kind of materials you are planning to use, what colours, etc. Don't make your set overcrowded otherwise the main product might get lost. Think about what type of light source you have at hand (studio light, natural light, continuous light, etc). Take some photos to test them and plan your shooting with that in mind. Next, fine tune your set and start taking pictures to find the best composition. Feel free to move the objects around, use different camera settings and test new ideas. Once your production is done, it is time to do the last tweaks to make our work look professional using Photoshop. Mask all the unnecessary materials used to hold your objects in place to make your picture look neat. Take your work to the next level by producing a frame animation. That will help to distinguish you as an artist and make your work more interesting. I'll drop by as often as I can to answer all your questions. In any case, I encourage you to actively engage in the forum by commenting and providing feedback to your fellow students. See you around! ”
