This project taught me a lot about crafting individual pieces that make one cohesive story. With choosing stickers and the poster, I learned how to size designs certain ways. I also learned specifically with my designs how to make normal text into shapes, experiment with new fonts, and how to print on different types of printers. The concept of what I wanted to do was easy; however, the process after was difficult. Converting my designs into the correct sizes, and understanding layout when it comes to print was a difficult task. In my opinion, the most challenging was the printing aspect. It’s an important concept to understand which is why I wanted to take some extra time to understand it. When you print well, the designs come out that much better, and that is what I noticed with this project. I would improve my submission by maybe testing myself on what other types of designs I could use that were even better than the ones I chose. I thought this assignment was really well presented for us to complete in the appropriate way. I learned some new techniques within illustrator and with printing that I will keep in my notes for any future projects. It’s always fun when you’re able to take what you’ve learned and come back to it down the road when you need something again. The only troubling issue I had was with the poster. When I went to print I was having sizing and dimension issues. The border is a little uneven, so when it comes to improvement, that’s something that I would like to take some more time on.
