For this project I learned how to have consistency in my designs. I used my knowledge of color schemes to have my designs look organized.

It was easy to pick color schemes I saw in the pictures. I tried to avoid using bright colors. I did no t want my designs to standout too much. I used different shades of green, brown, orange, and yellow to represent the buildings and sky. Using Paris as my location was easy because my grandparents had a lot of stamps from Paris. It was challenging to create different layouts for each stamp. Creating unique design for the stamps was challenging because I has limited space to work with.

My submission could be improved with more pictures of Paris. I limited myself to one photo per stamp which causes my designs to look too simple. Typography is not one of my strengths either, so I would practice more before submitting another assignment.

I could apply what I learned to future classes. I’ve learned how to design more efficiently in Figma. The skills I learned can help me create better unique designs for other classes.

My submission could be improved by using the rule of thirds more often. I should have changed the font and pattern in different frames to create more unique designs. I could used what I learned in this assignment to create logos for myself or future employers.

Changing the sky was difficult when I had to use layers of shapes that were different colors. I could apply what I learned from this assignment for futures jobs. If I need visuals to pitch an idea or create rough sketches of what I want a potential animated scene to look like. The professors demo videos inspired me to create my own landscapes.

My submission could be improved if I could have found better pictures of gold for the background and the safe. It was difficult to make my work look more realistic. I would improve my design by adding shadows to the gold to make it look more real. The professor could improve the assignment by giving students a refresher on how to edit in photoshop.
