Reflection of Name Project

1.  Describe the design process in the name design project. How was it helpful or not helpful for you?

The design process was very helpful for me. I thought the photocopying our drafts step was very helpful since it allowed me to test out different color patterns and experiment with other changes. The photocopies allowed me to freely make changes without worrying that I messed up my original design.

2. How does the name design represent you? What components did you use to visually tell the viewer about yourself? (Composition, font style, images, symbols, colors, etc)

My design composes of colors black, white, and yellow. Despite the fact the fact that my favorite color is yellow, I also used it as a symbol of royalty. It goes with how I put crowns on my initials. Also, yellow beams sprout out of my name which kind of means that I like to shine above others to show that I'm me. That was actually my theme that I wanted the viewers to know about me. I wanted the viewers to know that I value myself very highly, almost princess like. I know I might be sounding very narcissistic but it just means that I care about myself a lot. Also, it doesn't help that I'm the youngest in my family and that I have an inside joke with my friends that I have a princess attitude(I'm not bratty though). 

3.  How did you create a focal point or emphasis in your design?

 I created my focal point by making my initials larger than the other letters and I added the crowns on only the initials. 

4.  What was the most difficult part of this project for you? Why?

 The most difficult part of this project for me was to actually think of the design that represents me. It is because I had a lot of ideas but it was difficult to create one that wasn't just pretty but actually represents me. 

5. Are you satisfied with your project? Explain your answer.

 I am pretty satisfied with my project because I know that I've went a long way and my design went to multiple changes compared to my first draft and final. I'm proud and satisfied with it since I know that I was able to capture/ create an image of my name that identified a part of me that normal people wouldn't have seen. 

6. If  you can change anything, what would you change?

If I could change something I think I would have fixed the pencil lines from the yellow beams. I wanted to try to find a way to cover up the pencil lines since they are still visible in my project.
