Color Echo

For the color echo exercise, I chose to use Canva- a software where one can create and edit various types of media like posters, bookmarks, CD covers, and more.  I actually used it for the cover of my own book.  For the subject of my color echo, I chose a clip art illustration of a patriotic popsicle.  I thought the colors would be vibrant and easy to repeat, so I made a happy birthday sign for America. I used the eye dropper tool to repeat the main colors- red, white and blue, in the background and text.
