Toy

   My paper toy, that I have named super soldier, was inspired by Bungie's Halo game character Master Chief. I have no political statement for my toy, just having some fun creating a cool design. At first,I had not even started on my project, and I was nervous because the due date for this project was getting nearer. I watched anxiously as I saw other students completing their toys with intriguing designs, and then my mind started to drift off about Halo. So after thinking about Halo, it hit me that I should make a character that is futuristic and cool like Master Chief.

  In creating my toy's design, I played around with the colors and finally decided on blue. I am uncertain about if I used hue and saturation completely, but I did play around with the color box that shows up when you select a color. I began with designing the face-mask and had much difficulty in keeping it evenly matched on either side. To create most of the lines on the face of the toy, I used the paint brush, until I discovered the line tool. Other tools that I used include the fill tool (Shift+F5), and the Polygon Lasso tool. I decided to put a electrical socket on the back of the head because it seemed like a funny thing to do and would make my toy a little more unique. What I am most proud of is the body armor on the torso of my toy, which took a lot of time to do, especially upside down. Although difficult in some areas, and very time consuming, this project was fun overall.
