For the final design of my personal flag I chose to represent tea because a big part of my personality is my love for tea and its culture.

I chose a warm triad background color to make the teacup stand out and give the picture a comforting feel. The flower in the background is a lotus flower, which is my favorite flower, and lotus tea is one of my favorites. Purple and green are my favorite colors, so I used them for this project. Additionally, I added a small bunny because I’m represented by the rabbit in the zodiac.

I created these outlines as a prelude to my final design. Instead of just writing down my ideas, I decided to do a mind map through illustration. This helped me to visualize everything that represents who I am. I chose a teacup as it is my go-to comfort drink and I also added a rabbit which is a motif theme in my life as it symbolizes luck and creativity.
