1. What did you learn? 

Something that I learned was how to be able to make pixel art and animate it into a small gif.

2. What was the hardest part / most challenging aspect of this assignment? 

One of the challenging aspects of the assignment was making the portrait as getting details and shapes to look right was difficult to do.

3. What did you like the most about this project? 

Something that I liked most about this project was being able to learn some things about animating as I feel it is a skill in arts and design that will be helpful in the future.

4. How would you improve this project if you were to do it again? 

One way I would improve the project if I were to do it again would be to make my portrait slightly larger as I feel my character is slightly small.

1. What part of this assignment did you enjoy the most? Why did you enjoy it?

The part of the assignment that I enjoyed the most was working on the metal design of the burger ingredients. I enjoyed this because I did not have to make it a regular burger which had seemed plain and it was easier to attempt.

2. What part of this assignment was the most challenging for you? Why was it challenging?

The part of this assignment that was the most challenging for me was trying to make the fries. It was challenging for me due to trying to make them into a shape and trying to show that it was a metal screw instead of a weird shape.

3. What did you learn from this assignment?

Something that I had learned from this assignment were the basics on photoshop, how it works, and how to utilize some of the tools and effects in my art. 

1. What color harmony did you choose for your project?

The color harmony I had picked for this project was an analogous color scheme, these three colors being Green, Blue-Green, and Blue.

2. Do you think these colors work well together?

I think these colors work well together as they all are relatively close as they are all considered to be cold colors which gives the work a cool/calm feeling.

3. Do you think your patterns work well together in your project?

I think my patterns work well together as they all are similar to each other. If you look closely at all of the patterns a floral design is noticeable which helps the patterns work together.

4. What did you learn from this project?

Something that I had learned from this project was how to effectively use the clipping mask tool in my artwork to install designs quickly and more efficiently.

5. What did you find most challenging about this project?

The most challenging part of this project was creating and finding the right designs as judging from what I would use and what I wouldn't was a struggle.

1. What does your tattoo represent?

My tattoo design represents the fictional character Garfield which is known to despise Monday which many can relate to.

2. How is this tattoo symbolic to you?

This tattoo design is symbolic to me as Garfield has a significant role in my life as It is one of my favorite cartoons with also relating to the character in ways such as procrastinating and hating Mondays.

3. What was the most challenging part of this assignment 

The most challenging part of this assignment was coming up with ideas for the tattoo as there are plenty of choices that you have for the design.

1. What location did you pick? Why did you pick this location?

The location I picked is of the Town Elmore from The Amazing World Of Gumball. The reason I picked this location is because it is one of my favorite shows and when searching through ideas I randomly generated a location which then gave me the idea I currently have.

2. Who would you send your postcard to? Why?

I would send my post card to my good friends because I think they would find it funny to receive this in their mail one day.

3. Are you happy with your design? What can you do to make it better?

I am moderately happy with my design as even though I find it great I still believe it could be better. Something I can start with to make it better is to add a more visible border around the postcard.

1. The most challenging part of this assignment for me was actually animating it as getting everything to move the way I had wanted it to was quite difficult.

2. I am pretty content with the outcome of my animation, I believe I pushed myself to try to create something great. One place I had demonstrated this was with animating the slime moving up and down.

3. The part of my gif which I am most proud of  is the design of the tangle slime as I personally enjoy how it turned out.

4. I did enjoy this assignment as being able to make a gif on one of my top favorite games was very fun and allowed me to put my knowledge of it to help make the animation.

5. If I had a chance to redo this assignment I would change the background to be more accurate to the game and for it to be the glass desert from slime rancher which is where the tangle slime from the animation usually spawns in game.

1. The animals that I combined together for this project were a Capybara, desert rain frog, and a pigeon.

2. I decided to combine these animals together because these animals are all some of my top favorite animals.

3. I will call this new animal creature I have created a flying desert capyfrog.

4. I believe that my creature could survive in the real world as desert rain frogs survive with only being able to walk as they cannot jump and infusing the ability to fly it will be able to move around faster and with the capybara nose it can probably sniff out water from afar.

5. Photo manipulation is such an important topic today as it is easily accessible and can be used to edit pictures which can trick people into believing it and possibly influencing what they think.

1. The pen tool was simple to use for the most part but a challenge that I faced was when some of my layers had automatically merged somehow which if I had attempted to undo the merge it would ruin all of the linework. To overcome this I had redone the linework for that part which had turned out better than the original.

2. I had picked the Matter Horn as my Landmark as mountains have always been a favorite for me. What I had done to make sure people would recognize it in my poster was by making the rigid and sharp angles of the mountain to really display it's features

3. Some choices I had made about where things go would be the addition of warm and cold colors which compliment each other which were placed depending on the lighter and darker parts of the mountain and I had used a phrase I had seen plenty of whilst researching the landmark of "Europe's Mountain of Mountains."

4. Turning the real place into a digital picture was slightly difficult as getting the details to look just right in order to resemble the real place with some parts being of the utmost importance to really complete the picture such as the snow adding detail to the brighter side of the mountain.

5. My poster would fit into the digital world as maybe an advertisement of sorts for the landmark. Something I think people would get from looking at it would be a sense of curiosity or discovery of the landmark and bring people to see it for themselves.

1. What type of planet did you decide to create? Would you inhabit this planet? Tell us a little bit about it. 

The type of planet I had decided to create was based off of the "pibble" meme which is essentially the nickname for small pit bulls. I would inhabit this planet as they have a good source of water, sustainable honey nut cheerios, and mulch. There is also a "pibble" palace which can protect you from the elements.

2.  Why did you decide to create this planet? What makes it personal and unique to you? 

I decided to create this planet because the meme which I had based it on is one of my top favorite jokes of all time. It is unique to me as I had made my own creative choices on how to establish this planet based on vague descriptions throughout the memes on how the "pibbles" live.

3. Please explain what you found the most challenging out of this project. What could you have done to improve this?  

The most challenging thing about this project was putting together where objects should be placed such as the bushes to where the planet would seem filled but not too cluttered. Something I could have done to improve this would be by maybe expanding the planet a small amount by using the clipping mask tool to move around the shading to be more brighter so that more space can be given to the objects on the planet if they seemed too clustered together.
