I chose to make stickers rather than the other presented options for this project because I’ve always liked the idea of being able to stick some creativity pretty much anywhere you’d like. Plus it’s a different way to showcase and share my art. When designing these stickers I did not necessarily have a specific message or theme in mind. However there is a definite meaning to be interpreted from each one which is left up to the viewer. I wanted to convey feeling or meaning without being too direct. Overall, each one encompasses messages, ideas, or just things in general that have significance to me.
This project definitely sparked further interest of mine in terms of using Adobe Illustrator. The program has grown on me more and more with each opportunity, and the endless possibilities of this project specifically have helped me understand more of my passion in art as well as offering me new options to utilize these skills and talents. After getting the hang of Illustrator through my Narrative Creature project in design class, this gave me another chance to express my creative freedom using the new skills I’ve learned. Beyond my project, it was exciting to see the other options that we had such as glass engraving and sewn patches. It was truly shocking to see the special opportunities and options that we are provided. Ultimately, I really look forward to giving these stickers out to friends and family as memorable and one of a kind gifts.
