Letter Project Reflection

1) For the letter project, the process of creating it was very fun for me. The creative range I had was really useful for me to brainstorm many ideas as to what I would design after choosing my letter. Although I wished I had been a little more restricted on myself because too many options led me to be unsatisfied with having multiple ideas that I could not fit into a 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper.

2) Arriving at a concept for my letter was a bit tricky. I was not quite sure what I wanted to represent in my letter. After burning my brain out I thought the best concept I could choose had to be something I could do simply without making my design complex. So I chose ominous and obscurity because then I would not need to be overly complicated in design. I visually represented this in my design by having my letter appealing like an oddly shaped person, but upon further inspection is missing more detailed features that "normal" person. This is truly unsettling. The background, which is also not finished at this time, is not any identifiable setting, creating an eerie atmosphere.
"unfinished"
3) The most challenging aspect of this project was finding a way to show my concept and letter without being very obvious. It seems I like it could be more concealed and discreet. It was difficult trying to keep the letter in tact while sketching a semi-realistic stick body.

4) Still not finished but so far I could say I am not satisfied. The background I desired was suppose to be more rainbow-like. The body I should have used references like Slender Man. I also wanted a purply shadow like effect surrounding the body.

5) If I could change my design, the thing I would do differently besides what I have mentioned above would be to be to make it hyper realistic because it would bring in the uncanny valley characteristic that I wanted.

First Time Be Gentle

Hey what's up people David here with the very first post of this blog! This blog is gonna be the very best blog out there, the best there ever was. We're gonna have only the best posts about the best and trendy things out there in the world. Even now in this post there is a trendy topic to discuss. That is of course blogs. But on a serious level you will follow this blog right after reading this post.
Ok okay but on a super serious level I guess I should do the assignment. I am in a graphic design class and this is what that blog is for. I'm quirky and outgoing, proud and independent, wise and arrogant. What I am saying is I'm human. I'm not a robot. But I am also not the ONE. See what I just did there? That's right I also have super powers but not like god-like super powers. Anyway I promise I won't make any more movie references.
