Answer 4 questions:

☐  What emotion, idea, or message does your work communicate?

The first thing I designed was my signature, and the theme I chose was sky. The first step was to change its color to sky blue to make it look more like the sky. In the second step I chose a strange font to make it look a bit like a kite. Finally, I embellished my signature with an eraser tool, adding elements of white clouds. The second one I created was my logo, one for bees and one for flowers. I feel that these two themes are very connected, and I am also closely related to the theme of my signature, the sky.

☐  Why did you choose to the images you did, in your work? Why are two of these important to you?

I chose sky as the subject of my signature because I think the sky is a very fresh and very pleasant thing, so the color I use is the color of the sky and it will not easily cause visual fatigue. Secondly, I chose bees and flowers because I wanted to associate with my signature, and the whole creation of the feeling is a garden.

☒  Which emotions would you like the viewer to feel, when looking at your work? Which ideas do you want them to think about?

I want them to feel the feeling I want to express the feeling of being in a garden. The air was lucky, the sky was blue, and there were plenty of little bees collecting nectar.

☐  Which technique(s) did you use in the medium you used to achieve your final image?

I used tools such as eraser, line, graphics, text, pen, etc.

☐  How have you used the composition in your design to communicate your message? (Use of movement and contrast, using "line", colour, etc.)

First of all, I chose representative colors to express my theme, and secondly I used shapes to make bees and flowers to make them more concrete.

☐  What are the strengths of your artwork?

I think the better thing I've done is that I'm doing a good job of presenting what's going on in my head perfectly, and everything I want to express is very clear.

☐  What are the weaknesses of your artwork?

I think I can do it more delicately. The challenge I've had is that I still don't have a lot of tools to use.
