- What did you learn? I learned how to use the art history brush as well as many different filters to improve the look of the posters. I also learned how to make a design for merchandise of a specific artist.
- What was easy? The easy part was coming up with an artist to do the project on as I am a big fan of The Weeknd. Another easy part was visualizing what I wanted the posters to look like.
- What was challenging? The challenging part was putting my thoughts into art on the screen. It took quite a bit of time to find the right pictures to use. It was also a little challenging when I had to learn to use the art history brush as sometimes it didn’t come out how I wanted. Lets just say I did a lot of undoing.
- How could your submission be improved? I think my submission could be improved by tweaking the title of the oil paint poster. Also I don’t know how I feel about the red balloons in the first poster.
- How could the professor improve the assignment? I think the assignment was well done. It offered a wide range of merch options to design.
- How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I could apply my knowledge to make merch for a potential client.
- How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? A video that helped me in this project was a YouTube video. It basically showed me how to paint over a picture without any painting skills using the art history brush. I don’t think the project would have turned out as good without that video.
