    The images above are those that I found to create both visual assignments below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This image is one I edited to display Zukos metaphorical power focus. He is focusing his strength and his power towards the water, and towards those important to him. On the right of the image, we see his Uncle, his Mother, and himself looking at him with pride as he evolves in a calmer manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The above image is similar in representing Zuko’s evolution, his uncle, who sheltered and shaped his good personality is on the left of the photo because that is where Zuko is looking to. I covered Zuko’s scar on his eye with the fire nation emblem because the fire nation harmed him, but it is always a part of him. Zuko’s father is on the left and less opaque due to the fact that his importance fades out of Zuko’s life during the series. Ozai, Zuko’s father went from being his main focus of redemption to his enemy as the his true purpose in the series was realized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The above images were the originals that went into the first design assignment. After finding the background (which mysteriously got lost in my files), I used a website called photopea to cut out each of the characters and symbols that I wanted. It works just like adobe photoshop except it is free to use. Be sure to check out my other posts to read the full story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The second design assignment, the trading card, was made from a website that already had a template and allowed me to upload and edit images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The image below was created to show how Zuko is so focused on restoring his honor. Originally, he wanted to restore his honor to the fire nation, but throughout the story his mindset evolves to restore his honor amongst those who he had hurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The trading card, my second design image was created to showcase Zuko’s personality, adding an aspect of humor that he lacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
