Project Statement

In this project, we had to combine two words to form a visual composition that encompasses its new definition. For this project, my goal was to thoughtfully demonstrate the words “snowy” and “cabin” in a unified composition. I explored different ways to portray this word, and ultimately created this scene depicting a snow globe with the word “snabin” inside. Another one of my goals for this project was to push myself further in adding more intricate details, which I was able to do using Sketchbook on my IPad. My final outcome depicts a complex isometric form portraying a festive scene, which was created with Illustrator and Sketchbook.

Reflection

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of this assignment. I faced some challenges when learning new programs like Photoshop and Illustrator on the pc. However, I was able to combine some of the new features I learned with some ones I was already familiar with on Sketchbook. Another challenge I faced was making the snow globe isometric. While the outcome isn’t completely correct, it encouraged me to explore and keep testing different processes.
