My inspiration for this project was the Studio Ghibli film, Ponyo. I decided to recreate a scene from the movie where Ponyo is standing on top of the boat as it chugs along. This project helped me learn how to use the merge tool in Adobe Illustrator. One mistake that I made was that there were originally jellyfish in my sketch art that I accidentally deleted when I sent my file to get laser cut, so they do not show up in my final piece. If I could change anything about my piece, I would incorporate the jellyfish. I am most proud of my layering on Ponyo and how it gives her a 3D effect. This piece made me appreciate the time and effort it takes to make 3D pieces actually pop and give off a 3D effect.
