Grid Project Reflection

Below are a series of pictures I took while I was working on my Grid Project.  The grid is 25 x 40, so there are 1000 pixels (or m&ms) that make up the grid.  I decided to try and create Shigeru Miyamoto in my grid.  For those of you who don't know who that is, he is currently the CEO of Nintendo, as well as being the creator of such iconic games as Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, and Star Fox.  So with that explanation out of the way, let me walk you through my process.  I started by buying 8 bags of m&ms (2 easter and 6 regular) and dumped all of the regular m&ms in a large box, where I began to separate them by color (I did basically the same thing with the easter m&ms as well).  After all the colors were separated into different bags, I began to make the outer box of the grid.  From there I made his suit, filled that in, made the outline for his head, filled that in, and then filled the rest of the green background in. Please scroll down to see this process, as well as the finished product!
