Black and Yellow Pop-Art Poster for Print-on-Demand
This project was a design for my print-on-demand shop. After my first draft, I changed my course entirely, deciding to create a Pop-Art style poster using the color yellow.

Challenges & Lessons Learned
1) Coming up with ideas to make this design interesting.
2) Use references and be inspired by others' works. I did not do this.
3) Technical issues when learning a software means more time is needed.
I spent a lot of time scaling this polka-dot pattern.
It is somewhat tedious to repeatedly click on Object>Transform>Scale and then unchecking those default boxes each time. I need to streamline this process, maybe create actions or just keyboard shortcuts. I really just need more practice with patterns. I was discouraged because I was able to see the pattern swatch borders within my design. I wondered if this was normal and if this would be visible when I saved the PNG.
