1. What did you learn?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned how to shape banners and to make them. I also learned how to smart fill objects. These are skills I have never used before. I also learned that being a senior makes it very difficult to find motivation in the last few weeks of class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What was easy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found that it is easier to use Illustrator. I came into this class having very little experience with it, since most of my background knowledge is with figma, but I feel more confident with this program. It is definitely more useful that figma but not as straightforward. I also found the smart fill to be an easy task to grasp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What was challenging?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding a place that I wanted to create the map for was fairly difficult. I needed many different significant points but the process to find it was fun. I also struggled with how to make the map look aesthetically pleasing with the few colors I used. I have never been amazing at that and this project really tested that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. How could your submission be improved?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I had more motivation to do this project and less burn out it definitely would be improved. I know that more time could improve it more but that is always the case with any project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making one more part of the project a separate lab would help pace things. For example, drawing all the lines and filling them could be a separate lab but it would also help students pace themselves better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general this project gave me more practice with Illustrator. I am a firm believer that the more practice you have the better you can become at a program. Being able to have a fundamental understanding of most of the tools in Illustrator is always useful when looking for a job in the digital world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
