Best Work Review Paragraph

What have you created that is your best work? Why is it your favorite? What was cool about it? Did you learn anything new? What did your classmates think?

     I think that my best work that I've done in this class is the DA logo and the back of the CD cover and my prom ticket it. My favorite, though, is the school logo. I feel like it has a bit of the old logo, but it's also a breath of fresh air. Also it has an actual don and not a conquistador. I do think I learned a lot of new things this year. I've learned about photoshop and about creating new things, and it has helped me a lot in my yearbook class. My classmates think it looks really classy and nice.
