1. The areas of emphasis on my bag is the large rose which is a mixture of red, black and white, along with the diamond slightly above it that is also a mixture of colors. I used elements such as color, size and texture to make them stand out.
Color: compared to the rest of the design on the bag, I made the emphasis areas stand out and be more colorful versus the ret of the diamonds and roses on the bag are more dull.
Size: I made the single rose enlarged and the double diamonds larger than the other designs on the page.
Texture: the different tones in the roses and diamonds shows that it isn't just a fat surface but it has shape.
2. I used elements to lead attention around the bag by making the shape appeal to the eye and by connecting each section to one another by making it big enough and colorful enough.
3. A design idea that makes my idea unique would be the arrangement and how it is filled but there is a good use of negative space.
4. My design relates to the word Florid because when I looked up Florid it meant something Rosy Red or something very extragvaggant so I chose Roses because they're both red and fancy in a way and of course diamonds because they're fancy.

The two words that I picked were Avatar and Florid. Out of those two, I thought I would be able to work better with Florid. When that word came to mind, the first thing that popped into my head was the color red and something very exquisite, like diamonds.  I put the two together and created this design for my bag which I think represents the word very well. It is simple yet forward. I have two points of emphasis, the big rose in the bottom left corner, and the two bigger diamonds in the top right corner. I made these two stand out compared to the rest of the design because I added very deep colors compared to the rest, which is just a solid red or silver.  The rose and to diamonds have  mixture of colors, making it stand out from the rest but not too much to the point where it takes your attention away from the rest of the design.
