Reflection

1.Describe the process when creating your name design project. How was the process helpful or not so helpful for you?
I actually struggled with this project, mostly because I find it hard to show people who I am just by creating and designing my name. Maybe it's just me, but I found it really difficult for me. I found the process pretty helpful as it guided me on how and what I should do to get to my final result. I would draft something, later make some adjustments to it, so it could start to show or tell a person something about me.

2.How does your name design represent you? What components did you use to visually tell the viewer about yourself? (Composition, font style, images, symbols, colors, etc)
I believe that my name design tells people my favorite color is blue (which it is) and that I am calm for the most part. I think it can also represent how I am very simple, as I didn't put my name at an angle or add too much design to it. I like to have something right in front me that doesn't require much time to decipher or understand what the message is. The shadows behind my letters also means that although I may appear quiet and simple, I can be very deep and have much to say.

3. How did you create a focal point or emphasis in your design?
 I originally intended to make the "N" my focal point as it was larger than the other letters. I made this "N" much larger and it happened to be in the middle of my page, which make it stand out. However, some people think the bottom part of the "R" is the focal point as it stretches out along the rest of my name, but I wanted the "N" to be my focal point.

4.What was the most difficult part of this project for you? Why?
 The most difficult part as I said was trying to get across the message of who I am to the viewers. I found it difficult as I felt I couldn't really express who I am through my name. Maybe I'm just not that creative with this project, or there was no way or idea I had in my mind to let others know who I am.

5. Are you satisfied with your project?   Explain your answer.
I actually am pretty satisfied with my project. I worked really hard on it and I'm happy with what I have, even though it was not something I wanted in the beginning. What I really enjoy about my final product is how my name appears to be glowing on the paper due to the shadows of the black and blue behind my name, giving it this glowing appearance.

6.If you can change anything about your design, what would you change or do differently? 
I would fix the smudges and areas that are darker on my paper because it really frustrates me that they are there and it can draw people's attentions towards that rather than my name. It makes my project seem more unbalanced and due to this.
