In this unit, I was assigned to do several things with the pen tool. Specifically cutting out and tracing images. The Pen Tool is essentially a tool in Gravit that allows you to do a lot of different things with images. Like stated before, it has the ability to cut out and trace images so that you can alter and color them to your liking. For my actual summative however, I created a mini collage. The outcome wasn't as busy and filled with images as I expected it to be, but I was still able to cut out images and put them together to create a final product. I just pieced together some images I was able to find on Pinterest, and used the word "imagine". This is the link to my image sources (this doc also includes the links to my images for the composite image) document. While creating my final collage, I ran into quite a few problems. Firstly, in order to make it look like the image of the bears wasn't so "choppy", I had to re-do the image a couple of times in order to get a pretty good outline with the pen tool. Other than that, the pen tool wasn't too hard to use for my project, but I did run into some issues when it came to the overall layout of the collage. Overall, I think that using the pen tool was a very positive experience. I learned a lot, and was able to come up with a decent "product" in the end for my summative.

For this assignment, I used Gravit to experiment with different paper shapes, sizes, colors, and fonts. I think I learned a ton from this assignment, from how to make custom pages to experimenting with different styles so I can find what I enjoy doing.
For me personally, I don't have much experience in graphic design, but I have a tiny bit of background with it.
I know that graphic design is a very creative component of technology, and many amazing things can be created with it. This past year, I've learned some basics of graphic design, and on my computer, I've done some graphic design, such as designing posters, and I find it very enjoyable. I love being able to create designs with creative digital images and website components. With graphic design, there is a lot of creative freedom, and I think that this is one of the reasons why so many astonishing pieces can be created with graphic design. My hope is that I am able to learn more about graphic design and improve my skills in this area. |
