Personal Reflection

I was unsure about my idea and which direction to go about creating the end product at the beginning of this project, and I kind of consolidated my idea and found my direction through the process of exploring different styles and methods that I’d want to incorporate into this project. At the beginning, I wanted to copy Andy Warhol’s pop art style, but decided that it’s not sufficient to show what I want to convey in my piece. Thus, I arrived at the decision to borrow some of Andy Warhol’s methods, such as collaging and manipulation of colors, but keep the other parts original.

As I was trying to bring awareness to the impact of consumerism. I also discovered that I’m not a conscious shopper and I myself need to improve in this area. I’ve certainly become better at manipulating photoshopping tools.

I would probably try to make my illustration more comprehensive, and creative instead of just using images of people and consumer products, if I were to do anything different for this project.
