Overall I am happy with the results of my pictures. First I started a completely different picture, something that was pretty complicated (which I thought I could do but I would later realize that I couldn't). Once I realized that I couldn't do that picture I made a couple of cool random designs, and that's where I got the idea to make the first picture (the red one with the green target). For that picture I first made the background a gradient with the colours red and black. After that I put the big target in the middle, the reason I made the target so big is so it's not just a background image. I made the target light green is because it went well with the dark colours. For the second picture I first made the background a gradient using the colours light blue and black. The reason I used these colours was that I knew I was going to use a snow flake so i wanted to use that blue to symbolize winter and the black just went well with the blue. I made the snowflake white because again I wanted to symbolize winter and it wouldn't make much sense to make a red snowflake.
