Assignment 4: Reflections

So far, I am really enjoying this project. It is a lot different from assignment 3. It's been fun creating different ways of representing and portraying my word (which is 'support'). It definitely lets my creative juices flow and allows me to put my own input in as well. I also really enjoy using Illustrator and pathfinder for this project. However, I am still having difficulty with some of the techniques in forming typography. The shift technique in which you divide the word in half and drag part of it and the transparency technique are pretty hard and I can't seem to get them working. Hopefully, the class critique today will help and I'll be able to get some advice about finalizing my representations and getting help with some of these processes. Color is another part of this assignment that I have been enjoying. I picked three hues, blue, red, and yellow, and have worked them together to present my word in an attractive way. I hope to revise some of my representations and make them the best they can be for the final project.
