Reflection
1. Describe your process. How was the process helpful or not so helpful to you? Show us your brainstorming ideas and thumbnail sketches. How did you arrive with your concept/idea for your letter? Did the peer feedback help? Show us your brainstorming ideas, thumbnail sketches, and two drafts.
- I felt like the process was long, but necessary. It wasn’t a quick and easy project because there was a lot that went into it. Before I could even begin my project, I had to create twenty thumbnail sketches in order to decide which one I wanted to do for my final project. By creating these thumbnail sketches, I was able to look at all the different ideas I could choose from to do this project. Even though it took forever to complete, it helped me in the long run when I needed to choose what to do. I arrived with the idea to make a candle to represent the letter “I” with the help of Ms. Lee. She thought of a candle and then the flame to be used as the dot in the “I.” I felt like the peer feedback I got back helped me decide which thumbnail sketch was the best out of all of them. It gave me the chance to get another person’s perspective on my project.
2. What did you do to represent your concept visually in your design? (Give 2 examples and post close up and full design images)
-What I did to represent my concept visually was use the candle stick as and lowercase “i” part, and then use the flame as the dot in the “i.” This was a good representation of the lowercase “i.”
3. What was the most challenging aspect of this project for you? Why?
- I feel like the most challenging aspect for this project was coming up with the design to blend in the letter “I.” I felt like there was so much I could do with an upper case “I” but not a lot to do with the lower case. It was difficult because I wanted to get both aspects of the two letters so I could choose which one I liked the best. I am glad that I talked with Ms. Lee because she gave me ideas for a lowercase “i.”
4. Are you satisfied with your project? Explain your answer.
- I am satisfied with my project because I feel like the idea I went with accurately represents my letter. You would never know what the project was or that it was the letter “I” becuase it is hidden. It looks like I was just drawing a candle on a table. I am happy that my candle is also colorful and different. If the candle was white or yellow, it would of came out differently. Using pink and blue stripes on the candle made it pop off the page.
5. If you can change anything about your design, what would you change or do differently?
- I do not think I would change anything about my design because I think it came out well. If I had to really choose something, I would maybe make it and uppercase “I” next time, just so it is something different and I could create a hockey game on the bottom line in the “I.”
