Text Design Assignment #1- Sahar Sabir

Artistic Reflection:
                                The strongest technical aspect of my art would be the shape. I like how the shape and the curve of the letter S goes through each other. The shape also allows the art to blend together, and flow together as well. The technical aspect of my work I could improve on is the color. I like the how the magenta, and the pink colors blend well together. I feel like the blue makes the work not look  as eye-appealing as it would be without the blue color. I would have chosen colors that complement each other like pink, orange and yellow.
           The layering of each letter was easy in this art activity. It was easy because we had the tools in order to layer each letter. All we had to was either create a new layer or duplicate another layer. The difficult part in this activity was trying to get everything to be symmetrical, although we could duplicate a layer we had to rotate or flip. We had to put it in the right place and had to be the same length. It was hard to get the layers all to be symmetrical to one another and transform them.
          I demonstrated the objective in this activity by balancing the color, and radial symmetry. I used only one font and one letter. I used the rotate and flip tool in order to balance the radial symmetry. I also used the same colors and the gradient tool. Ny doing this activity I have learned how to apply different tools into my art. If could do this art activity again I would do it differently. I would use a different color scheme and maybe a different letter. I would use a different color scheme that would blend in and complement each other better. I would use a different letter to experiment more and see how the letter you choose affects the art activity. Each letter has a different shape and length and can affect the way your assignment looks.
