Fri 8/30 - 1L1#1F Finishing

1.) Make sure you have at least 3 grayscale and 3 color .PDFs uploaded to Google Drive.

2.) Upload your favorite version to the presentation to share for critique.

3.) Create a new document in your 1L1#1F folder and respond to these reflection questions:

1. Does your poster have a focal point? What makes it that way?
2. What principles of design did you emphasize - how are they seen in you poster?
3. From the feedback and seeing other designs, what could you change about your design to improve its reception?
4. Rate yourself 1-5 on your proficiency with Adobe Illustrator thus far. What tools make the most sense now? What tools are you still confused on?

Take today to work on your first design - GD is Everywhere.

Keep in mind:

• This is just a pretest - you get the A for turning something in.
• You only have this period to turn it in. 
• Your end goal is just to make a segment of the quote more interesting or engaging to read.

By the end of the period, save your work as a .jpeg and turn it into the folder on Google Drive.
