The title of my patch is a reference to the parody song my classmates and I recently created. The inspiration for my patch came from a conversation my classmates and I were having about possible Freestyle elective mascots. The animation students that were online at the time agreed on making the mascot an onion because we use onion skins when we’re animating. It also doubles as a reference to Shrek. Many of the people in my class really enjoy Shrek. I gave the onion on my patch an “uwu” for a face because I thought it looked nice. In general, I tend to enjoy dark color pallets that have bright accent colors, so I used that color scheme for the background.
This assignment was given to us to help us practice our Illustrator skills and I feel like it helped us become better at using Illustrator. In addition to that, I also learned how to use Embrilliance to create the physical patch. We were given a lot of freedom with the designs we could create, and I’m grateful for the ability to express myself by making this patch. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to create something meaningful that I can wear and be proud of.
