questions

What are the areas of EMPHASIS? How did you use the elements of art to make them stand out? Elements are: color, value, shape, size, texture, line.... or other visual effects?
The emphasis of this piece is the word "deleterious". it stands out because it is white text on the black background. it is also bold and in all capital letters.
How did you use elements to lead our attention around the bag?
the fire that spreads throughout the bag is an example of movement. also, the caution tape wraps around all sides, and goes over and under the flames as well. the folding and cutting pattern is outlined further, instead of trying to hide it.
What software techniques or design ideas made your work unique?
i created my own caution tape instead of using an image and tracing it. i also used the layers feature a lot during this project to separate the outlines, flames, caution tape, and background. 
How does your design relate to and describe the word you were given?
the word deleterious means dangerous, or harmful. i conveyed this with police tape, fire, and bold letters and contrast. the flames engulf the bottom of the bag, which implies that it is growing and spreading. the colour scheme is warm toned and bold, like fire, rather than cool and calm colors like blue.
