Before starting on this project, Mr. Bryan showed us a few books with flags and explained the elements that make up a good flag design, like not placing design elements on the right side so that fraying won’t ruin the meaning of the flag.
This is my personal flag created in Graphic Arts. It took me only about half-hour to come up with the design.
Extract from explanation:
To begin, the flag’s proportions are 16:10, which is the standard for computer widescreen monitors, which shows my interest in technology and is also an approximate to the Golden Rectangle. The blue rectangle in the middle is 2.39:1, which is the standard for an anamorphic picture in cinema. The red stripes, white stars on blue represents the flag of the United States and France, two countries that I partially associate with. The stars are in the arrangement of the constellation Orion, one of the more recognizable constellations in the northern night sky, which represents my love for amateur astronomy.
The seven-pointed stars are a symbol of perfection in Christian religions.
