1. Do a few searches on your favorite brands, notice what stands out to you about their logo/brand identity. Make a list of what visual elements you are drawn to. 2. Do some general searches on common logos. Make a list of what elements stand out to you (positively or negatively) 3. Make a list of all the nicknames you have had in your life choose one or two to make a personal logo. Jess, Jessie, Ica, Cricket, Seeka Peeka

I'm having a very difficult time thinking of something for this project, but here are some ideas I have been tossing around :

I agree in part when the article states, "the autonomist can recognize that a given artistic technique is destructive or non destructive, but the destructiveness of the technique cannot figure in the aesthetic evaluation of the work.  I don't agree with the ethicist model that just because it may be destructive then it is aesthetically flawed.  I do think that it is not in good taste to tag buildings or write obscene and offensive things, I don't think it has any bearing on it's aesthetical properties.  In the topic of urban knitting it asks, "why damage someone's property if it is possible to create urban art without hurting anything."

In what way did you integrate your personal art practice into this project? This piece is still a still life and incorporates the dark contrasts and realism that I usually work to achieve in drawing.   3. How did you challenge yourself creatively, conceptually and/or technically  in the making of this piece?  I was challenged by masking layers, creating shadows, and fulfilling the 30 layer requirement.  It is hard for me to tinker around with different tools, but I made myself try and I gained more knowledge of the program and different ways to make effects.   4.  Were there elements that made the completion of this pi
