In this project, I learned how to use Gestalt to visualize nursery rhymes.

This project was slightly difficult because it took time to think and visualize how it would look to the person who was looking at it. I had to think about how the person looking at it would see it.

It was challenging using the simple shapes to describe what I was thinking, without using custom shapes it made it a lot harder to show the viewer what I was thinking about.

My submission could be improved by having better custom shapes to describe what I was thinking. The shapes I was using were very basic and I had to think of different uses for them.

I think an improvement would be having more advanced shapes to use, it would help with the execution of the project.

I will apply the knowledge I learned by using the basics of the Gestalt to help me visualize what to make and how to make it,

looking at logos on bottles, boxes, store, etc. helped inspire me on what symbols to make. I would look at the logos at try and picture how they used Gestalt to make the logo.

It was easy for me personally, I have a lot of experience with Photoshop though, so for someone new to Photoshop, I think it would be challenging.

What was challenging for me was making the guy in the back look as if he was looking through a hole. I had to use a lot of shading and make the colors correctly match the theme. The guy in the photo in the back is also me, which I think is cool.

My submission could be improved by making the inside have more complexity in it rather than the simple style, also the picture on the right side could’ve been better. The print out could’ve been better too because I did not use CMYK colors.

I think the project is perfectly fine the way it is. It provides a challenge for beginners and a good way to improve skills for experienced users.

I would definitely use the text to a path tool in the future, I wish I knew about it earlier it would make life a lot easier, especially for not perfectly round object to trace around.

The movie “IT 2” inspired me a lot, especially for the colors and theme. I liked the creepiness and theme the movie you feel so I wanted the card to express that too.
