Graphic Design Assignment #2

Artist Reflection: Personal Identity

1. The strongest part of my work, I believe, was that I was able to create an image that portrayed who I am, without it being a cluster of images.

2. One thing that I could've improved on was how my bottom half of the picture didn't have a true background. Even if I added something, it could've been cluttered, but I think I could've done something to enhance it.

3. The easiest part of this activity was choosing the one real image, Patrice Bergeron. He is my favorite hockey player, due to his level of skill and classiness. 

4. The most difficult part of this project, which wasn't actually hard, was deciding what cartoon images I wanted to use.

5. I demonstrated the objective by creating an image that said what my personal identity was. I chose one real picture and modeled the colors of the cartoon ones after colors from the real one. I used the correct tools, such as: the eye dropper, paint bucket, move tool. Also, I reached the requirement of a minimum of 10 layers.

6. If I could've done this activity again I would've added something for the background of the bottom half of the picture because its just white.

Artist Reflection: Text

1. The strongest technical aspect of my work was my ability to have the J's in the middle change colors by using the gradient tool on just those specific letters. I had the letters go from black to white to red.

2. One aspect that could have been improved on, was that some of my letters weren't perfectly symmetrical, though appearing to be at first.

3. The easiest part of this project was choosing the colors/ letter. I chose ''J'' because of my name, and I chose these colors because 'murica 🇺🇸. 

4. The most difficult part was using the gradient tool, and successfully having the change in colors have the same pattern.

5. I demonstrated this activity by having the image symmetrical (for the most part), and using three colors. Also, I was able successfully use the same font, use the transform tool, gradient tool, paint bucket, eye dropper, move tool, and as well as having at least 10 layers.

6. I wouldn't have changed anything, honestly. I truly liked the way this came out. I also like the fact that you can not really tell that the letter that I used was "J".
