Letter Project Reflection

1. Describe your process. How was the process helpful or not so helpful to you? Show us your brainstorming ideas and thumbnail sketches. How did you arrive with your concept/idea for your letter? Did the peer feedback help? Show us your brainstorming ideas, thumbnail sketches, and two drafts. 
2. What did you do to represent your concept visually in your design? (Give 2 examples and post close up and full design images) 
3. What was the most challenging aspect of this project for you? Why?
4. Are you satisfied with your project?   Explain your answer.
5. If you can change anything about your design, what would you change or do differently?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

1) The overall process for the letter project was significantly helpful. After brainstorming more than 20 ideas, I was able to narrow down my choices. I ended up choosing my favorite thumbnail sketch. Originally, I wanted to work with my first idea, but when I brainstormed and drew my two drafts, I ended up with a totally new idea. My finished project ultimately displayed my best efforts. 

2) To represent my concept, I made an umbrella. This is a perfect J design. Also, I incorporated flowers on the design so that there can be a sense of happiness. In addition, the background was blue to also incorporate positivity. You can see the details in the first question. 
3) The most challenging aspect of this assignment was making everything proportioned. I had to use the ruler  throughout the whole time. However, my work turned out to be a success. 
4) Yes, I am satisfied with my product. The colors definitely accentuate the theme of happiness. Although use use an umbrella when it is raining and gloomy outside, the colors and flowers give the image a more positive view. 
5) I don't think I would change anything in this project. I am very satisfied as everything is proportioned and colored in. My product is very appealing to the eye. 

Me and my summer

Hi!
My name is Priscilla Pappas. I am from New York City, born and raised, and I am currently attending Millennium High School. At age 16, I enjoy doing a bunch of things; hanging out with friends, running, shopping, and getting involved with my community!

This is my summer in three pictures!

 In august, I went to Las Vegas for a few weeks to visit my dad since he lives there. I went to the pool, tanned a lot and went to Lake Mead which was so relaxing. Vegas may seem like only a party scene to many, but to me it's a way to escape from all the stress and relax in a suburban environment.

 During the summer,  I also interned at a fashion store called Vfiles. It was honestly a ton of work! I worked from 10:30-6 with no pay. I thought that was illegal so I ended up quitting at the end of August. However, the experience was interesting as I was responsible for coffee runs and organizing clothes.

In early July, I took a pre college summer course at F.I.T for fashion forecasting. What was interesting was that we did a lot of hands on work, meaning we went to local fashion stores to observe trends. I also met a lot of new people who surprisingly were from all over the world!
