I honestly found this project to be alot more challenging than I expected because I had no previous experience with desmos and I found it very frustrating at times to position things where I wanted them or scale them how I imagined in my head.  A lot of my equations didn’t create images that I had thought they would, so it was a lot of trial and error to find how to make all the numbers work out. I’m not too proud of the end product because I think I could’ve made it a lot more detailed had I grasped a better understanding of how to use desmos. I looked at some videos and online tutorials to try and figure it out more in addition to asking classmates how they created theirs.  However, I do think it helped me better understand the relationships between different functions and how they can be altered/what comes out of certain transformations.  Because it was a lot of estimating/guessing and checking, It was easier to see distinct relationships because I was able to input things into functions and see exactly how the graph changed in relation to them.     Even such a simple card was really time consuming and I learned that I need to further reviewing graphing and functions
