Aim: What do you need to know?

1. I'm going to design a logo for the Cooking Club using pictures of healthy foods.

2. What are the easiest and most difficult dishes has the club made? What is the most favored food by the club members? What type of cooking tools do you have access to and utilize? What inspired you to make this club? Do you try different dishes from different cultures?

3. Unique, fun, healthy, quick, simple.

4. I can represent pictures of healthy foods, like vegetables. I can also incorporate simple tools to show how it focuses on quick and easy recipes. I can use typefaces to represent the adjectives used above and describe the names of some example foods they cook.

Summary:
Cooking Club is a club where quick and easy recipes are created for students to practice at home. People can bring their favorite recipes and share it with others so they can experiment with it individually. No actual cooking is done at the club, so it is primarily based on recipes created at home and then shared with the class. The club values healthy cooking, such as fruits and vegetables. It encourages students to experiment with more healthy alternatives of eating by trying fun recipes. It is great for students who already enjoy cooking as well as those with little experience that want to learn simple recipes to start cooking.

2. The sign is used for the Walgreens drugstore on 42nd street.

Letter to Symbol GIF- Reflection Questions

1. The most frustrating aspects of using Gimp were creating transitional layers and using the Gimp Tools. Since there are so many tools, it was difficult for me to pick the correct ones and really utilize all the features. This made the transitional layers especially difficult because I did not know how to use the tools to cover the shapes I had created in previous layers (ex: the outline of the "A" in the middle of my apple). It was also difficult for me make smooth transitions and I often could have added more layers to make each step more clear.

2. After completing the project, the Gimp tools I feel most confident in using shape select tools, the different sizes of paintbrushes and the bucket feel tool because I practiced using these the most in my GIF. I also feel confident creating layers.

3. The Gimp tool I wish I was better at using is the tool to make curved shapes. I never really understood how to create the curves the way I wanted and therefore just avoided the tool all together, but I think using it would have been very helpful in creating shapes in my GIF.

4. Next time I would like to create a Gimp using actual photos but still using the same technique of morphing one shape into something else. I think it would be interesting to see how actual photos would look, versus our drawings, and there would also be a more creative aspect involved in gathering the pictures to tell a story.
