What did you learn?: From this project, I learned to incorporate everything previously learned including gestalt principles, color theory, and typography to create designs; specifically in the form of postage stamps.
What was easy?: The easy part of this project for me was choosing the city itself to base the designs off of. Creating the layout of the designs also came to me pretty quickly so I did not have much trouble with that either.
What was challenging?: On the other hand, I found it quite difficult to choose the four items that I wanted to use from the city of Florence. More specifically, though Florence is considered to be the birthplace of the renaissance and contains a large amount of culture, art, and famous people I found it quite difficult to choose based on the sheer variety and amount of options.
How could your submission be improved?: My submission could possibly be improved by trying to further balance the amount of letters on the design with the background and images themselves. Other than this, I am not really sure how I can improve my submission further when looking at it myself.
How can the professor improve the assignment in the future?: Honestly I am not sure how the assignment can be improved in the future as I found it to be a good and fun way to incorporate everything learned up until now onto designs.
