Final "Happy Animals" project and reflection

 When i finished editing, altering and beautifying my pets in Corel and Krita it was time to add them to my website and create a portfolio.

Here are 6 of my finished works:

Here is described why I chose this topic and what I would like to draw the attention of recipients.

 Happy Animals is a project of  6 works created in Pop Art style to draw the recipient's attention to the problem of cruelty against domestic animals. 

In the modern world, a pet is almost a member of the family. We love them and want the best for them. But can you be sure that the way you treat your four-legged friends and the choices you make on their behalf really serve them?

The unconditional love that our pets give us motivates us to change, take on new challenges and give meaning to our lives, and also encourages the owner to be physically and socially active. Many studies conducted by American organizations prove that pets provide their owners with a wide range of health benefits. Among them, we can highlight their effect on reducing stress and anxiety, they can reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke by lowering blood pressure. Horses, for example, are used in hippo-therapy and help in pain relief and psycho-motor coordination in people with disabilities and children with cerebral palsy.

As responsible owners, people, and society as a whole, we have a responsibility to care for all pets, and together we should stand up to cruelty to pets.

Finally, I added the portfolio to my website and this is what the end result of my "Happy Animals" project looks like:

I think everything looks good. The website and portfolio are simple and clear. I would like to reach as many recipients as possible, although I know that the colors I have chosen may not be convincing for people aged 50+. I still have to work on improving my skills in the digital direction but also try to improve the website on an ongoing basis.

The process of creating the website and the project itself was not as pleasant and simple as I thought it would be. I'm not very digitally proficient, so many things were difficult for me. I've never had the opportunity to work in drawing programs, nor have I ever created a website. However, I think that now that I have gained some skills and experience, it will be much easier for me to try to further develop my skills in this direction. As an artist in the 21st century, I need to stay up to date with technology and the digital world because it's not just paper and canvas that count these days. I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn new things through this project as well as the whole digital art subject. I still need to work on a lot of things and, above all, devote more time to it. The project itself was a very interesting experience and learning for me. I am satisfied with the final result, although I know that there are still many things I need to improve in the future.
