Fills and Gradient

The focal point in this design is the hand holding the heart. What makes it stand out is the size and the colors. The size makes it stand out because it is basically the biggest object in the design. The hand is placed on the lower right corner so it makes your eyes travel up to what the hand as well as the heart that the hand is holding it. The colors of the hand makes it stand out too because of the different values of grey used to help make the hand stand out.
This design relates the my theme because since my theme is generosity I used the hand to symbolize giving. The hand is then holding out a heart which is like giving someone something that will make them happy and realizing that you can give without expecting anything in return. The word generosity in the heart relates to my theme basically because well the theme is the word generosity. So overall the design is like a definition of generosity of giving anything to anyone with heart and not really expect anything in return.

Folder Design

In my design I used shapes, patterns and words. Everything in the design relates to me in some way. Overall I did this design because it reminds me of the outdoors and nature. I love being outside and the widespread open space. The leaves  with the floral pattern over it remind me of spring, summer and fall when the flowers are out and the leaves are on the trees changing colors from summer to fall. The trees and the bird relate to me because I like being in the woods or forests where birds and other animals are. The circle in the back round represents the moon and is covered by the night sky with different values. 

The design is unique because of the placement of the patterns, shapes and images. I placed the leaves on the bottom because it reminded of the season fall when the leaves are all falling of the trees meaning winter is coming. I put the floral design over the leaves to represent spring and summer when the flowers are out and blooming.  I used an image of a tree to help make my design unique because i used the detailed part of the tree as well as the outline. I put the white bird standing on a tree branch to show contrast between the dark sky and the dark tree. 

I believe the best part of the design is the foreground. The foreground I believe is the best because to me it really pops out and I like the lairing of the leaves with a floral pattern over it.
