Note: The idea of this particular project was to create a design for the letter assigned. In my case, I was given the letter E.

| List of ideas I came up with |
1. Overall I would say the process of planning out the project did help me to a great extent. I struggled a lot with coming up with an idea for this project, and I think through all of the sketching and brainstorming I was actually able to get something out of it (normally I don't). The process consisted of drawing random pictures, and writing down a list of things that start with the letter
E.I decided early on that I wanted to have my design be music related but I wasn't sure how I could actually go through with the idea. I realized that a lot of the bands that I listen to have an 'e' in their names (ex. All Time Low, Sleeping With Sirens, Twenty One Pilots, etc.) so I wanted to include them in some way. After many crumpled up papers, and thirty minutes worth of songs I finally came up with my concept. The peer review did help, I received good advice, and was able to translate it onto my art.

2. I suppose my concept for this project would just be the joy in music. I wanted to include some band symbols on my project just to show my interest in music, and the type of music that I listen to. The 'tattoos' I had drawn were logos from the bands
Sleeping With Sirens,
Five Seconds Of Summer, and
Twenty One Pilots. The quotes written are song lyrics from DollHouse and Rejects, two of my favorite songs at the moment. In order to create the
E I used a hand holding drumsticks, an electric guitar, and a microphone stand.

3. I think the most challenging part was coloring it in, I'm pretty terrible when it comes to tracing and using colored pencils. I'm so used to using chalk pastels that it was difficult for me to actually make it look decent.

4. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out, I went from having no idea what to do- to a solid idea and I like how it turned out even though my coloring abilities aren't very good.
5. If I could change something about my project I would change the materials I used to color it in. I think it would have looked much better if I used chalk pastels like I always do.
