ANIMAL SYMBOLS: Cockroaches VISC204 - Project 1
Travis Bodell
Project Brief
Our assignment was to pick an animal and express that animal’s likeness through a variety of marks. I had a great deal of difficulty with keeping caught up during this project because I am extremely slow at Illustrator and using the pen tool specifically. With that being said, I feel like completely this project was a big step for my skill set as a designer. I had the chance to practice skills that are probably
