Button Reflective Essay

A button is something that is pushed to give another specific thing an action. All a button does is triggers something. Like a ON and OFF switch. The design of a button can affects it use because it can have a relation to give a person the idea of what would happen if you pushed that button. Some design elements people use in button can be threatening. For example a BIG red button can mean anything but it most often use in some specific movies to where an actor is told to never push the red button because it means something big would happen.

In the world they’re all type of buttons such as a button to push to ring a door bell or a button to push for an elevator to come down. i personally like the button that you push and then something big happens but at the same time something happen to button as well. Like if the button lights up and gives off a sound or something like that.

5 Collages Reflective essay

For my five collages I wasn’t familiar with on how to tweak out the colors on each image but I did make my dingbats into a symbol. Which was easy to duplicate them on a new layer. So that’s what I did I tried to use each dingbat in a different way and was focusing on the size of the dingbat and the rotation.

For each collage I tried to make each one a specific theme. And so I would use certain dingbat that would match that theme. I experiment a lot with reshaping the dingbats and seeing how I can use that to my advantage. I used of alot layer of a symbol

Reflective Essay

For the theme I decided to choose for picking 10 images is anime. I chose anime because I have always like certain anime shows and its what makes me want to create animation. The images I chose were specific animation that had certain facial expression and a certain stance that I wanted to try to use in my own design.

As I started drawling my dingbats I just started drawing and some are not relation to my 10 images. I just started sketching and tried to see what it would turn out to be. Random things just started coming to me. I didn’t stick to my theme. I just tried to stick to one drawling one at a time. Some drawings I spent more time than others. There were a lot of unexpected things that I thaught I couldn’t draw. I was just starting to feel so creative and just started jotting stuff down and it all came together
