layout and design project

for this project i used a pen as my object. I began by scanning in the pen and doing bit map tracing. after the bit map tracing i changed many of the colors in the pen and made it almost rainbow with a huge assortment of colors. The idea then occurred to me to make the pen write in color instead of the black ink that it actually writes in. With that idea, i took the liberty of changing the name of the pen to color lady instead of cristal lady. I made the catch phrase "whats your color?". I also used the texture of the pen to fill in the word BIC. I took the advertising aspect of the assignment very literally and put the BIC logo on the bottom of the page and said the name of the pen "BIC color lady" once again and put another catch phrase-"the pen that writes in as many colors as you desire. I also put in a fading gray to black background which faded in the corners. If i could go back i would take away what i put at the bottom and space out the items on the page more. I liked many of the other projects a lot and wish that I could have seen other examples before starting my work.
