Show and tell

1. The mark makings I used was the rectangle tool to get everything set up and I was trying to make it look like different stages in your life. I used that tool along with the text tool which was really hard for me to changed their font. For some reason, it kept only changing one font so that took an hour to figure out but after I did that I drew my butterfly which the paintbrush tool, and then tried to put it all together. I tried to make it about self-growth and how we grow differently than others were all not perfect. I made these choices because I wanted it to look organized but messy at the same time because life isn't organized all the time and not always how it looks. Yes, it did help me why? you may ask well it gave me the idea of not everything had to be perfect because in the comic some of the parts are shaded differently than others. The comic also gave me the rectangle idea and how to style them.

2. The interdependent words add a lot of meaning to my pictures because you can see the butterfly and not think it's growing and you wouldn't understand the process but looking at the words and the picture together shows you the steps of the growth and how it takes time. Words add the meanings of pictures by letting you feel many ways like you can see the picture and feel one way but then read the words and it opens your mind up to different emotions.
