What did you learn?: From this project, I learned to incorporate color into designs in a variety of ways though limiting the colors I could use per design.
What was easy?: I found that creating the rough draft for the designs was the easy part.
What was challenging?: On the other hand, I found that incorporating color in a way that looks nice in each of the designs was a difficult task due to the scenery that I was making.
How could your submission be improved?: I think my submission could use more gradients, but I was unsure how to implement this properly without making it look like the design was overdoing it with the gradients.
How could I improve the assignment for the next class?: I think a good way to improve the assignment for the next class is to allow the student to pick from a list of landscapes so that they are not limited to the four initially given. This way there would be more variety in the assignment and the student could work towards their strengths in some landscapes compared to others.
How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?: Since color is an important aspect to design, I will be able to make more informed choices on the colors that I use in future projects that revolve around design. The usage of both color theory along with gestalt principles will be able to elevate my designs to a higher level.
