REFLECTION
In this assignment, we learned how to use the mesh tool. Mistakenly, I forgot to make the burger the right shape, so it is a bit of a round burger, but other than that I'd say this assignment went pretty well.
I started out by getting a circle and a rectangle, and using the shape builder tool to make it a burger. Then, I used the mesh tool and two colors close to my main one (one lighter and one darker) to shade both the bottom and the top. Then, I created the inside using the path tool, and shading. After that, I duplicated the burger and made it smaller, making a gradient background and adding text at the top.
Something I ended up struggling a lot with was the burger shape/the gradient it made. I was unhappy with it in the end (because I couldn't go back and fix it) and the gradient part of it was pretty hard. It ended up not really looking realistic at all, but I just had to accept the fact and move on to the next assignment.

UNIT REFLECTION
Overall, this unit was covering Photoshop and Illustrator. I learned a lot from this unit. First off, I want to say that the Photoshop part of this unit was one of my favorites from this year. I loved experimenting and messing around in Photoshop and I had a lot of fun creating the assignments.
