Sunflower Poster

At first, I wasn't so sure this project would go so well, but I am pretty happy with the way it turned out! I knew I wanted the sunflower to stand out which is why I chose a simpler zentagle pattern for the background. Then, I wanted to keep the flower somewhat realistic which is also why I chose a simpler pattern for the inside of the sunflower. It took me a long time to find a zentalge pattern of the petals, but I found one that would added a flowy feel to the poster. I made my color scheme decision based on the quote I found by William Cullen Bryant. The sunflower stands out by putting opacity on the background of the brook which is symbolized by the blue, and the orangish color that symbolizes autumn. I kept my texture simple for this poster. By this point, I have learned that my style is simple. I love how beautiful simplicity can make things look.
