Graphic Design in the real world

Letter project Reflection
1. During the letter project I felt like the first 20 initial thumbnail drafts were good for splattering initial ideas and seeing what work and looks appealing to the eye.
2. I chose my letter R because I feel like it was the strongest pronounced letter in my name. I used the 'R' to represent a Rabbit. So one example of how I represented this by the man in a bunny suit representing the rabbit. Also idea of it being a wanted poster gave the idea of their being a dark side in such a cute looking animal of a bunny.
3. The most challenging part was making sure the letter was understandable and visually seen by the audience. That was challenging for that i had to make the 'R' upside down in order to keep the bunny figure alive on it.
4. Personally I am satisfied. I think it looks very nice. I was pleased with the creative stylings of Arvid Hossain and its inclusion into a wanted poster. Everything flowed.
5. If I could change anything I would change the background of the paper. Give it a more tan colored background like a old western wanted poster.
