In my opinion, design is a subject where you can learn how to inquire about something and then based on that you can create a project of your own. My interest in design is to learn how to use adobe illustrator to draw complicated 2-D image or icon. My goal for this year in graphic design is to complete at least learn two new techniques that is related to the Pen Tool. One of the skills I have in graphic design is Pen Tracing, which is using a Pen Tool to trace out or construct a figure based on a original object.
The style of my portrait reflect me in a way that shows the simplicity and directness, which are two of the most conspicuous features of my personality. If you look at the nose and eye part of the persona poster, you would notice that I had kept it quite simple on the way how it looked like, and there is two reasons for this specific design, first if I drew it in too much detail it wouldn’t fir the rest of my five features, and I don’t want my portrait to have a great sense of contrast, so at the end I just drew my eye,nose,and mouth quite simply. The second reason for this is because, since I am new to Procreate, I am not as familiar drawing with an apple pencil as I am with a mouse. So in someways my skill of sketching kind of limited my execution toward the portrait details. I think overall my persona poster is a success, because considering its my first time actually doing a art piece on a iPad; I am already satisfied with the general looking of my portrait. Something I would do differently next time is that I would like to be more creative about my portrait, and what I mean by that is maybe I can crop out a part of my face and then use a element from something else, perhaps a robot eye to fuse into my work to add a layer of creativity to my work so it won’t look too plain and ordinary.

Hi Will, thanks for the update.
Can you please check that your Padlet has at least a few examples included? I cant see anything inside the padlet.
Your poster is well illustrated. I recommend 2 changes:
1: The top title should be your name
2: The goal should replace the text about golf – we see the golf ball already 🙂
3: Don’t use this yellow colour for the text, it’s too hard to read
Once you make these changes please let me know and send me the full-size PDF so I can print it.
Thanks!
Thank you!
