BAG (:

A long time ago before we did the iSkins, we had to make our own bag.  We had to make tesselations and put them on the bag.  Then we had to design them.  I thought it was cool to make because it tested our designing skills and pretend that you're going to be the next huge designer of a big company for bags.

Mine was a handbag, which is pretty cool, with zippers and safety pins, a taped-on label and a pretty cool tesselation.  And it was green (:  I really liked it because I thought it kind of expressed how I think of things, and I also liked the outcome of my design.

I can't really find the picture of my bag, but I tell you it's pretty cool.

Word Art (:

Our current project (well... Most of us are done with it.) is word art.  Its a picture with the name of the object hidden in the picture.  The picture has to be of something you can feel, touch, smell, anything.  Just not a feeling like hot, cold, etc.  You have to be REALLY imaginative and REALLY creative to make something that's awesome and will blow minds away.
STEP ONE.
Pick the four words that you want to do (or just one, if your first design was the one you likes the most.)
STEP TWO.
Pick one of your designs and choose the background color.  Draw your picture again in a bigger paper.  You don't draw the design on; it's a collage.  You cut them all up and then stick them together.

Then there you have your word art!  It's fun because you get all that creative juices in your brain to start working becaasue you really have to think about your design.  In the end it's going to be worth it since they'll be like "OMG, that is so cool!"

I don't really have a picture right now since I don't have time to get them from the shared file :P  But I'll get it as soon as I can.  It's really hard to find a word art design in the internet because all that comes up are fonts and not the actual project that we are doing.

HARMONY: The design must be together, not one is out of place or different with the other parts of the       design.
UNITY: Must be together, not one is apart from another.
REPETITION: Repetetive.
BALANCE: Equal in design.
EMPHASIS: Visually striking ot the eye.
Comment below if you know what it says (:
