Critique

What ideas did you incorporate into the piece?

I incorporated the concept of shapes into my work.  I represented the shadows and the different parts of my face as shapes.  Then I inserted the thumbnails into the shapes.  Since there were four different image of my fact, I used different gradients on each one.    

Do you think the piece is successful?  Why or why not?

I think this piece is successful because I think I really defined shapes and then filled in those shapes to make it look interesting, colorful, and vibrant.

Self-evaluation

What skills did you learn through working on this piece?  How did you employ these skills in your work?

While working on this piece, I learned a lot about the pen tool from Illustrator.  I also learned about gradients and thumbnails.

What challenges did you face?

Because my gradients were all different and colorful, I had trouble making sure you could see details.

Did you find a suitable resolution—if yes, what?  If no, what would you change?

I used the stroke in pen tool to solve this problem.  I made the strokes thicker. 

What revisions would you make if you were to do the work a second time?

I would do simpler gradients.
