A silohette is the paper cut out of a person portrait. People got them because they were too poor to get actual paintings of themselves. Mostly children get their silohette done, adults too but children get them done the most. I decided upon these designs because they all describe what i like. I think it tells my life story. Tells the audience who I am and what I like. One of the many problems i encountered was when the paper got too thin while i was cutting out another design it ripped, so I had to glue them. Another problem was trying to get all the small spaces I had to cut out. I didn't make the gemini sign to cooperate so it didn't turn out how i wanted. I am very happy on how my project turned out. I didn't think i would get it done on time, or make it look right. There's nothing I would do to make this better, i love it how it is.

Write a **minimum of 3 sentences** for each writing prompt (12 total) - What is a colonial trade sign? A sign for businesses but only some people could read so they had little writing on them and bigger pictures. Nobody really went 'all out' with their signs, just enough to show what they were selling. Mostly rich people were the ones that could read. - -How/why did you decide upon your design? I decide to do a bakery because food is one of my favorite things. Another reason is because it seemed fun to make with the 3D effect. The third reason is because I was hungry. - What problems to you encounter and how did you solve them? I had a problem with the letters because the lines would never turn out, so I took my time. I also couldn't get the same color blue, so I made a lot of blue at one time so i had enough. The cupcake was pretty hard, but it turned out better than the first one, Mrs. Ruggles may have helped with it a little. - Are you happy with your project? Why or why not? Yes I am happy with my project especially the baker girl. I honestly think it turned out better than i expected. At this point im happy i didn't choose something different.
