Reflection Prompts:

• Which Illustrator tools (pen tool, shape builder, curvature tool, gradients, etc.) did you find most useful in creating your design, and why?

• How did you apply the elements of design (line, shape, color, texture, space, etc.) to make your badge, mascot logo, or crest visually appealing?

• What role did color theory play in your design choices, and how did you ensure your colors worked well together?

• How did you use symmetry, balance, or contrast to make your design feel polished and professional?

• What challenges did you encounter while working with vector tools, and how did you overcome them?

• If you could improve one aspect of your design, such as the use of gradients, line weight, or overall composition, what would it be and why?
