1. At first I had a lot of trouble deciding which letter to choose. I came across the letter F because it had many themes that I could personally work off. I started sketching out 20 different styles of the letter F and seeing what I can work off of. I came to a conclusion of two final ideas of the letter F. These ideas included arrows shaping into the letter and football with goal posts on it. The process was defiantly helpful because my final arrangement came from the process of creating the 20 sketches.
2. I arrived at the two sketches. A Football and a goal post forming the letter F and Arrows shaping in the letter on a table. I wanted my letter to be football related because that’s what I have a strong passion for. But decided to create something different, because I always make everything related to football. I decided to create the concept with the arrows because I like archery a lot. I represented this by creating similar arrows to the ones Native Americans used.
3. The most challenging aspect of the project was staying with one concept. This was the hardest because I wanted to concept to meet all the rubric requirements while also looking like the actually letter F. I went back and forth between concepts many times.
4. I am satisfied with my project after brainstorming and jumping from concept to concept I am satisfied with the outcome. After the peer feedback I got, I can finally say my letter actually looks like an F.
5. If I can change something about my design I would add more color to the overall design. I specifically put color on the fletching of the arrows to add a unique look to the design. But I think it would look a little bit more appealing to the eyes if the whole design was colored, including the background.

  2. Hello!! I really like the idea of arrows, so creating the letter "F" out of arrows was really clever.

  3. Hey Kevin! Since I also like archery, your project caught my attention. I like how you made your arrows a certain type of arrow that had colors in it. I agree with your comment about adding in more colors to the background. Maybe a solid light brown would work or something that represented wood ^^. I also suggest making the arrows a little darker and bolder so that they would stand out more through the background. Good job :).

  4. Adding onto Suzanne, I also think you should trace the arrow, especially the arrowheads with a darker color or maybe sharpie? Because that way it stands out more against the white background. I really like your design by the way.

  5. The arrows was a very original idea, i had no idea you were interested in that type of thing! As stated before, making the arrows darker or more obvious would have helped. Also making a background could be nice too. But overall Im loving your design.

  6. I like the concept! I think the arrows could have been bigger to draw more attention to it but it is cleanly done.

  7. Your design was clean but I feel like the background is a bit empty. You can definitely use some color in your background.

  8. How do the arrows connect to the F concept? They're very well drawn but I don't see the connection between archery and F.
