Here are the reflection papers I wrote after the projects were done.
Honors Project
Why Was It Chosen?-Since I was a little kid I had always loved superheroes. The art style was amazing to me. The use of brighter colors to represent the heroes was so cool. Especially the villains with the use of darker shadows, colors and stylistic choices used were awe inspiring. That is why comics are one of the many sources of inspiration in the honors project.
What Are Some Issues You Have Faced?-One of the main issues was finding the right hero to do it on. There are so many like Batman, The Flash and Spider-Man. Once that debacle was taken care of it was all about execution. As well as focus. I can become a great worker if there are no distractions. When I’m surrounded by friends it can be had to be productive. When it comes to making a product you might have a good idea, but executed poorly..it won’t do you any good.
How Does This Fit In With ADM Development?-The subject of the project might seem easygoing; but it’s more complex. The use of strokes, colors and typography can help the viewer understand what’s happening. These simple tools can help to make a project really pop. When someone see many graphics projects after a while they tend to blend together. The one that are memorable and stick out are the ones that take ideas and change them drastically. These are the ones that get underclassmen interested in digital media.
What Would You Do Differently?-I would change the way a approached the project. I should have dedicated more time into it. I am glad how it was able to turned out. Another change I would have made is to us my face to make it easier to make my face the subject. Then I could have easily gotten a reference image from my phone and use it. Once I had that I could make a colorful background. This would have help me to use all of the skills that I learned this semester.
What Did You Learn From The Project?-I learned how to apply all of the things I had learned over the semester. This project truly helped me to use them to their fullest extent. When it comes to the use of strokes they really help to make a project pop and stand out. Another thing was finding out what to put into the background. I learned that most of these projects require massive amounts of imagination, effort and time.
Anything Else To Add?-When it comes to using software to make graphics that people love i never want to stop. It's so much fun approaching a project and figuring out this one thing. How will I make this something that I and everyone else would enjoy.I had a great time in both courses that I have taken this semester.

Client Project Reflection Paper
Why Was It Chosen?-I wanted to help someone that was staring an organization. When I first heard about it I just knew instantly that I would love to help. When I heard that my Bio teacher was founding a organization that helps with others mental health it just knew it was for me.
What Are Some Issues You Have Faced?-When I came to executing the idea. My client told me what to make and it was a little difficult to make it. But after I came up with a great idea it made the process all the easier. When it comes to making these projects it important to have fun with it.
How Does This Fit In With ADM Development?-This helps develop a students social skills. As well improve their skills in the various programs. It a good exercise to help the student use their knowledge to make a great product. This can be helpful later on when they are required to work together in the future.
What Would You Do Differently?-I would take many more notes. And check in as I was making to make sure this is what my client wanted. At the end I would compare all of the parts as they were being developed. Instead of thinking of it as work.I should have thought of it like a fun job that someone gave to me.
What Did You Learn From The Project?That feedback is very important. You have to have fun with it in order to make a great project. It’s like the old saying “if you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life.” The last thing I learned it that it takes a lot of creativity to make it.
Anything Else To Add?-When it comes to work it all depends on your mindset. Sometimes we feel like we can't get any work done. This could be because your mind could be in a negative place. Sometimes it's important to have a clear goal in mind.
