The background was really an after thought but that's not much of an excuse. So I took off the awful paint splatter and replaced it with a clean comic book-esque background. In the critique, it was said that some of the icons were not as strong as they could be, namely the eye color, creativity, lead foot, and eye for color. So I blew up the eye so that color would be visible. I took away led foot and replaced it with love for nature. I just didn't think that led foot was going to be as successful as the others as an icon. With creativity, I took the idea of the paint splatters from my background and used the colors of the color scheme. I took the eye for color and made the color scheme squares correlate with the compositions color scheme.
I wasn't entirely sure how to fill color the outlines of my parents and I, so I initally used photoshop and just saved them as .pngs and then dropped them in. This made my parents and I have a different look from the icons. So after Mrs. Ruddick showed me the livepaint tool, I just remade my parents.
Overall, I like the revisions made post submission. Its a cleaner look and i think the icons are more successful this way. Making these revisions based on student suggestions strengthened my trust in my fellow classmates opinion.
