What did you learn?
In this project, I learned how to create a consistent design pattern that follow the same rules to make the images feel like a group. Additionally, this project reviewed concepts that I learned throughout the semester – grids, color schemes, pattern creation, etc.
What was easy?
I think that choosing the color schemes and images were easy.
What was challenging?
I found that choosing fonts and placement could be challenging. I wanted to ensure that I was adhering to the grid system while creating an appealing, presentable stamp. Additionally, I spent a lot of time debating which font would work best and whether it should be italicized or bold.
How could your submission be improved?
I think my submission could be improved by taking more time to brainstorm and sketch beforehand. Once I chose my images and color scheme, everything eventually lines up, but it took longer to get there!
How could this assignment be improved for the next class?
I believe that the assignment is very clear and well-thought out. I don’t think there needs to be any changes.
How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
The skills and principles I learned from this project will be very beneficial for future assignments and work scenarios. I could use this to make similar projects or even to explain the principles of pattern creation, grids, color schemes, and symbolism.
How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
Although there was not a specific reading or video that inspired my images, I was inspired by all of the student examples. I went through each of the examples provided and could not believe how amazing they all were! Through this, I tried to make something just as great.
