For this project I wanted to try new techniques as seen in the videos for class.  Some new things I tried were digital painting, using the brush, switching between colors, moving layers from front to back of one design, and moving projects between the different programs in CS6.    I also downloaded new fonts that reminded me of the era the artist was from.
My original idea for this included a gravestone.  While researching the artist more, I found that her ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.  So I opted to incorporate her nickname “pearl” in the bottom left corner of the blue colors that to me symbolized water, and the color black for death.  I tried to change the concept to fit the artist’s life.
