Mini Lesson 4

Letter Project Reflection

Letter Project Reflection

1. I think the process helped immensely in helping me think of what object should represent the letter. Overall, it helped me be a lot more organized since I had a plan at the end of the brainstorming process. While I was looking around the room to find an object to draw, I dropped my pencil on the floor. When I picked it up, I noticed that, when I said it out loud, there was a n in pencil. The peer review did help because other people gave me advice on how to make the pencil stand out more, and how it should be placed on the piece of paper.

                                 

2. I made three pencils and connected them so they resemble a N. In addition, I also overlapped the pencils so they looked like a N, rather than making one pencil, having an awkward structure.

3. The most challenging aspect of this project was the whole brainstorming period. I could not think of anything that I enjoyed to make into my letter. There were many ideas but I wanted to find a word that could easily become the letter without risking the letter becoming lost. It is usually already hard for me to think out of the box.

  4. I am incredibly satisfied of my project because I can clearly see what does N symbolizes, and the N is clearly shown. I like how creative I was in putting the pencils on loose leaf which, I think, made my project a lot more different. Because other people colored a background, I actually used loose leaf rather than drawing it in the background.

5. If I could change anything about the idea, I would probably blend in more colors, to make the pencils look a little more realistic. The pencil could use more shades of yellow and brown. Also, the eraser could have more shades of red, so the eraser could have looked more realistic.

Graphic Design Homework #1

Hi, the name's Jack. I really enjoy playing video games so much that I would rather stay indoors the whole day rather than out to continue playing. I don't really have any favorite sports except for jogging.

I spent a lot of times in the summer just hanging out with friends, and just catching up with my old ones, surprisingly because I love staying in. This was a picture outside my friend's place after I hung out with my group to play video games. I think this was around 9th street, and I took the picture because the sun was very pretty.

I went with a couple of friends to watch "Papertowns" because I read the book, and highly like John Green books and his previous movie "The Fault in Our Stars". During most of my summer, I watched a lot of movies with friends. This was around the 42nd street's AMC.

I spent almost everyday with my dog, Yuki, because I had summer school during most of August, and couldn't hang out.  This took place almost the whole summer, and this picture was taken at my home.
