This week I got some negative news again, my second submission filter was DENIED. I thought that this was a step up from what I had submitted last time, but I guess not. I spent more time and got help from someone who was familar with the photo shop program.

I also referred back to a YouTube video that was guiding me to create a filter that was sure to get accepted.. While consaulting this again I found a comment that I could relate to and began to get worried about the status of my geofilters getting accepted.

I continue to learn that this might be a harder project than I thought, and may need to find a genius that can assist me with getting one approved!

This week I revisited my design and realized that what I had needed to be revamped. I spent a long time working with photo shop and tried to navigate it looking at the different text tools that were there and effects that I could use. I also got a bit of assistance from a classmate who was familiar with the Photoshop elements program. I decided to add a new image, that of a hockey stick and changed up my fonts and colours to something that I thought was a lot cooler!
I resubmitted a new geofilter with a new description of why I thought that they should accept it. The waiting game begins again as they need to either accept or decline my new geofilter.

This looks like a happy picture, lets see if the second time is a charm!

This week I made some big progress. I worked with photo shop for the first time and researched how to create a geofilter including all of the requirements that are included within snap chats guidelines. I even went as far as submitting my first draft of a filter that I created... Unfortunately my first try was not accepted by snap chat - tough crowd. I learned that my filter was not cool enough, and I need to take more time working with photo shop in order for them to accept my original artwork. This is leading me back to the beginning, I am going to come up with a new design to resubmit. This is going to include more of an original design, without using images from google and adding more detail including layering and colour. I hope that with time and playing around more with photo shop will lead me to create a geofilter that will be accepted!
