My pin is an excellent example of working smarter and not harder. By using a simpler design and fitting more meaning into it, I was able to create an inclusive, professional, and representative design. The pin’s purpose is to spread awareness of the lack of appreciation for veterans. It tells you to appreciate the Veteran wearing the pin. The eagle in the middle represents the United States national bird. Similarly, I used several types of gold for contrast and glossy black so that familiar veteran pins could be encompassed in my design. The banner at the bottom is used as an accent for the appreciation element and the shield shape in the center of the eagle Is colored in a way to represent the American flag with the star in the middle representing the fifty stars.
