Animal Hybrid
The assignment was about creating an animal that was made out of three different animals it self. First I had to fill out an animal attributes worksheet, which was going to be graded. I had to search on google.com/images to find an image of each of my animals. I was required to have a background, I was recommended to make an aquatic background but I wanted to mix it up some, so I made it as a captured specimen. I used adobe illustrator to create this project.
I choose to use a eagle, hippo and a shark. I combined the body of a shark with the head of a hippo and attached the wings from the eagle. I included a trophy plate behind the animal I created to show that it was already caught.
The animals I choose don’t reflect my personality at all. I actually didn’t even know it had to reflect are selves. My background relates to my animal because it is unknown. Most animals that are unknown usually want to be caught by scientists, so that they can do experiments.
I feel like I’ve done really well with this project. I didn’t waste anytime sitting around or only working on one thing. I liked the hippo head and the shark body the most from my project. If I could change something I’ll change the wings and replace it with some other part from a different animal. I used mostly the same tools from my previous projects. I can’t really pick out on new thing I used.

Silhouette Reflection
The assignment was to create a silhouette out of a picture of yourself. First I had to take a picture of myself and trace it out and start designing it. We had to include a picture of are self’s into the project. I used the adobe illustrator for this project.
I cropped my body in different angles it wasn’t a complete 180 or 90 degrees. I used my name as the text, most of this project was made by trying new things out and experimenting. The background of my image is just a color that stands out more then most colors.
I think the why I cropped my piece does create a unique compositions. I do think the font and style does fit well with my quote. The background color makes my pictures pop out more.
I think I did better then what i usually do on other assignments. I like the colors that I chose out because it makes my work stand out more. I learned how to use the pen tool. Learned that composition can complete change a piece of art.

Reflection
Public Service Announcement Reflection
The assignment for this Public Service Announcement (PSA) Reflection is to select a topic that is attention worthy and then make a short public service announcement about it. I had to come up with an educational statement using only five pictures. The rules of the assignment were it had to be about 30 seconds long. I had to have a call to action site at the very end.
I decided to make my issue about drunk driving since that was a big problem in providence last year. I supported the fact that not everyone dies when hit by a drunk driver, but you might be horribly scarred after the accident and the drunk driver might walk away without any injuries. I didn’t pick any graphed statistics but I used images to decipherer them, for example the buzz driving and drunk driving image resulted in the same outcome. I used the song pressure since most kids are pressured into drinking.
I found this topic worth creating because in Rhode Island there have been a few problems with teens driving drunk and killing other drivers and pedestrians. I support the side were parents shouldn’t provide the alcohol to minors. My statistics show the out come of your decisions the song makes you think about them.
I think I did a good job with this project even though I didn’t meant all of the requirements. The images seem like the best of my project and I’m sure other will agree. I think the statistics can use some improvement since I only picked the ones that get my point a cross right away. I learned how to show people statistics without taking up a lot of their time and some things up in a few words.
