<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRepresentative Artboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sketches<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0For our first project, we had to portray a nursery rhyme using the basic shapes that were provided while also using the Gestalt principles we learned in our lectures. I learned how to use Figma in more ways than I knew when coming into this class. Before this class, I didn\u2019t have as much experience in Figma than I did in adobe illustrator, but I learned how to use a good amount of the program to be able to portray my ideas. I also learned the six Gestalt principles that are used in this project (repetition, closure, continuation, proximity, similarity, and figure-ground). Along with those principles, I learned the importance of designing with a grid and the difference it makes for the final product. It was easy to come up with the concepts I wanted for the story since I knew twinkle twinkle little star. Since the nursery rhyme is based on a star and was referenced to look like a diamond, it was easy to keep a diamond as the main focus throughout each frame to make it look almost like a comic book. It was challenging to have my concepts come to life and transfer using all the gestalt principles that we learned. I had a little problem with similarity but figured out a solution. There was also a challenge with coming up with different concepts with repeating lines to the point where the audience makes a connection with the image and the actual lines in the rhyme. My submission could be improved if I ventured off and tried looking at different principles since I had trouble with similarity. It could have changed the look of that frame but maybe even made more sense to the audience. A suggestion I have for the next class would maybe list off\/go over more principles that could have been used so we could have an option if we didn\u2019t like the way the principle was turning out with our vision. I\u2019ll apply my knowledge in future assignments and work scenarios by applying graphs to all my future projects so I can keep myself on track with where I\u2019m placing things, so I don\u2019t waste time with replacing items. The TED talk video helped me with taking a step back and realizing that someone else is seeing my work, and I need to keep in mind that the message also has to transfer to them and not to get lost with everything going on in each frame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nursery Rhyme: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Abstract Artboard Representative Artboard Sketches Reflection: \u00a0For our first project, we had to portray a nursery rhyme using the basic shapes that were provided while also using the Gestalt principles we learned in our lectures.
