I was asked to write a poem about my character. then I was told to make personal symbols referencing to my personality. I also had to create my own alphabet and pick out key words from my poem. I had to make jesters with the keywords definitions . Then we had to make a poster with all of the projects from before. I learned about illustration and how the patterns lined around my poster could be used in a book, and a greeting card. I used the same materials from the last project the gradient tool which creates a gradual blend between multiple colors and the pen tool which creates paths with straight segments.

Well working with Photoshop was toil and I really was frustrated with this software and how it  operates. I learned by taking my time and I kinda learned from my mistakes. Naming and organizing my layers was difficult because I was comfortable with working on 2 to 3

Then I was require to get 5min worth of foo
