 Art Shop Counter 

Formal Elements 

This is my finished counter for the shop. I think the design is bright and colourful and stands out.
I think adding more texture would help the image by making it come alive. There is some texture on the text, but not much.
I used subtle texture on the lettering. The texture was made from the crayons themselves as I scanned in the artwork. I could have used Photoshop (paint bucket tool) to add colour.
I made the background bright and chose yellow because it stands out and is the first colour people notice.
I used the select tool to do most of the drawing and I used the lasso tool to erase the white and grey colours. I stroked the selections.
I also edited the pictures by resizing the pictures.
I'd took a photograph of the scissors and the mobile phone and then used the images to draw over them with the brush tool. I worked on layers. This makes it easier to work with and then you can select each colour separately from the others in order to change them.

I could also make this into a decorative poster.
