Type Design with Reflection



Are you happy/satisfied with your design? What are some of the features that make it so successful? If you are not satisfied, what would you have done differently to make it more successful?
I am very satisfied with the outcome of my design. I really liked the color scheme that I chose, and I like how I oriented the letters on the page. I also think that the focal point is very clear and that overall the design is simple, which makes it look well done. I think that the way I did the letter’s colors was also very well done because it looks like the letters belong there because they blend in with the color scheme very well.

List some of the tools that you learned and used in this assignment. Which ones did you find the most helpful and in what ways?
I learned how to do the text tool, became more familiar with the layers, and I became more comfortable with this whole process in general. I think that working with creating new layers and how to move things around on the layers was definitely the most helpful. In order to do anything on photoshop you need to be able to know how to work with the layers; and by doing this project you really learned how to use the layers. Being able to use the text tool was also very efficient because in order to have any designs with words, you need to know how to use this tool, and I really go the hang of it by doing this project.

With what areas/aspects of Photoshop do you have questions? What activities would help you better understand basic design concepts, along with more Photoshop tools, tips, and tricks?
I don’t have any questions in particular, but I do think that I need some more time to just explore the program. Being able to do more simple projects to help us become really comfortable and familiar with all of the tools that we are learning how to use. Especially some more activities that have to do with shapes; coloring them, moving them around, and adjusting the size of them would really help!
