Fundamentals Of Design by Daniel Van-Dien

 During the trip we had made our own book covers. If I had to grade my book cover I'd say it was very good since I worked off of my own creativity with help of a guide. My book cover design in my opinion was well made and I definitely put a lot of thought into it. I think that the museum was fun and the work there was definitely inspiring and I really enjoyed the comics on the second floor. My favorite illustration was one on the second floor of bugs, one of them was a kid, the other two were the parents, the mom's head was cut off, and the father told his son that they were just wrestling too hard.

 My brush technique for this assignment was sloppy, some space was barely filled in. I think with time it will get better so I can work efficiently and accurately enough. I feel that it was definitely sloppy and could use some touch ups. The brush was a little hard to use since I was using a mouse which isn't my ideal tool for using the brush tool. I think that because of the mouse the brush was very unsteady and it left a lot of space empty. I feel i can improve on using the brush tool with time.

  I learned how to duplicate layers during this assignment. I learned how to change the blend of colors in images. I think that this could be used in other assignments involving real people like doing portraits of a person. I think it could also be used in tasks involving animals too and for posters to make them more interesting. I wouldn't really know what else could go with these different blends but I feel that anything could work if you can do it right and still make it appealing to peoples eyes and really hook their attention to it.
