    I began this project by making a list of the first 5 words that came to my mind in order to describe myself. The words that immediately popped into my head were introverted, passive, quiet, positive, and relaxed. Once I accomplished this step, I went online to find inspiration for designs that I could make myself that would be simple and versatile. While I am no artist, my goal was to design something that was basic enough where if I drew it, I would be able to get the image from my mind onto paper and be able to transfer my ideal design into illustrator.      While drawing the designs, I realized that I enjoyed the style of being symbolic while incorporating the word that I am attempting to describe into the design, so that was my goal while making the drawings. When I was on my third word, I began to realize that my designs instead of being unique were focusing too much on trying to incorporate the word into the design and not the design itself. After I realized this, I changed t

  For this project‭, ‬I knew immediately that I wanted to do a geometric design of an animal‭, ‬but I wasn'‬t sure where to go from there‭. ‬I searched around for geometric heads to base the design off of‭, ‬and eventually I found one in black and white‭. ‬After I found it‭, ‬I immediately thought about how I wanted a psychedelic themed background with a realistic colored mane‭, ‬and that is exactly what I did‭. ‬I have never coded anything before this in my life‭, ‬so this took me over 40‭ ‬hours to complete‭. ‬In the very beginning‭, ‬this seemed like an eternity‭, ‬but after I got the hang of it I ended up enjoying coding and seeing the progress as I went along‭. ‬This project was around 1800‭ ‬lines total‭, ‬and it came out exactly how I wanted it to‭. ‬While this is a complicated and long‭ ‬way when I could have drawn something very similar to it in Illustrator in hours‭, ‬this project was literally pixel perfect‭, ‬and‭ ‬that is hard to replicate‭. ‬This took me the longest o
