T-Shirt Design

What is the main idea you were trying to express in your project? What were your intentions? I was trying to get the point of how facebook is so hugely known in the world today. There is rarely anyone left without a facebook account (not including young children). What methods did you use to develop your ideas? For example, did you brainstorm, create a concept map, research, improvise, try different materials or techniques, etc?
I just thought about what people today are most into and it turned out to be facebook. I researched alot of different pictures i could use and i played around with GIMP and changed my design several times.
Did you take risks by trying something new? Explain.
I never really knew how to use GIMP and still hardly do haha so i tried something new by using it.
What were some of the unexpected problems that you had to solve while you were working?
I was having alot of troubles trying to figure out how stuff worked on GIMP.
What decisions and choices did you make to help solve these problems?
I just told myself to keep trying even if it was getting on my nerves.
What was the most interesting or challenging thing about what you did?
I love editing pictures so it interested me with all the different things i could do on GIMP.
What have you learned from this particular project?
That not all editing sites are easy to use and also that it really is crazy how many people like and use facebook all over the world.
What did you do outside of class to enrich the project?
I browsed my facebook page. :)
If you were to experience this project again what would you change or do differently?
I would choose different pictures to use probabily and do a totally different concept.
Describe a new project/activity that might grow out of the one in which you just participated?
Painting different types of things like murals or logos and who knows maybe even just plain old photo editing different images.

Popart Image :)

What is the main idea you were trying to express in your project? What were your intentions?
I just wanted to express how I love bright flashy colors and that bright things tend to make people feel a lot happier about who they are and about their life.
What methods did you use to develop your ideas? For example, did you brainstorm, create a concept map, research, improvise, try different materials or techniques, etc?
I watched the tutorial and then just went crazy and had fun.
Did you take risks by trying something new? Explain.
I took a risk by trying out GIMP haha I have never used it till now.
What were some of the unexpected problems that you had to solve while you were working?
I goofed up doing the blending of layers a few times but finally got it right and all figured out.
What decisions and choices did you make to help solve these problems?
I just kept on going back to the tutorial till I got it figured out.
What was the most interesting or challenging think about what you did?
I found it challenging to get the colors to fallow the lines just right and to make sure that the black outlines weren’t too light or too dark.
What have you learned from this particular project?
That GIMP has a lot of different things that can be done to it.
What did you do outside of class to enrich the project?
I browsed different pages of pop art and different pages of jack skellington outfits.
If you were to experience this project again what would you change or do differently?
I would choose a more difficult image so that I can add a lot more colors.
Describe a new project/activity that might grow out of the one in which you just participated?
Maybe a painting of pop art, it would be a very good challenge to get it to look just right.
