 Foto-Qualität - Laszlo Maholy-Nagy                                           Background This is the Cover for  Foto-Qualität (Photo-Quality) Magazine,  created in 1931  by  Laszlo Maholy-Nagy in the category of a commercial magazine. The intended goal was to spread the style of modern technology non-traditional to art. The image displays a hand facing down with faint lines overlaying the hand. There's an unidentified object in the background and a cutout image of an old camera placed in the center of the hand. Lastly, the typography displays the significant words "Foto-Qualität" and small german words diagonally across the fingers in the color theme of blue and orange. The time period in which this image was created was during the Bauhaus Era (1920-1935), New typography Era (1920-935), and the Modern Movement Era in                            America (1935-1950). 

           This was my first time using Photoshop. I learned how to rasterizing an image, use the lasso tool, and use the clipping mask tool.  The history option and COMMAND Z were the most useful because I was able to go back and fix my mistakes.  My biggest obstacle is remembering when to select the eye icon in the layers panel for visibility. It's key for me to remember that so that I don't cause confusion or unnecessary mistakes.
