My visual metaphor: The world is your oyster!
Reflection:
For this project, I created a fused metaphor symbolizing “the world is your oyster”. Through my work, I learned how to transform and warp images, such as the earth, creating more realism. It was easy to combine the 2 images, as this involved simple photoshop skills. However, it was more challenging to make the image look realistic and create a pattern in Figma. Creating a pattern that filled space, but didn’t look too busy took some time. My submission could be improved with a better pattern, as using waves, hands, and opportunity symbols may not convey the metaphor fully. The assignment could be improved by not requiring a pattern and leaving that just as a lab, as it takes away from the metaphor. I can apply the knowledge gained from this project to my future assignments as I know now how to warp images, allowing me to truly transform shapes. I was helped by the noun project (http://Thenounproject.com), as they provided me with symbols to use in my pattern.
