• Video Showcase

 

• Description: A brochure  with a diagonal fold.
• Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):  I used Adobe Illustrator and InDesign to create this project.  I wanted there to be a general theme across the whole brochure so I took four real photos and converted them into flat cartoon type images using the pen tool in Illustrator; this way I could change the colors of the cartoons to any color I wanted and keep to my original idea.  I also wanted a diagonal fold to help the brochure pop out a little bit.  This took quite a bit of time to get the alignments right for each side of the page.

Project 7: Web Page

 

• Description: This is a webpage used to show the logo and the design process of the logo.
• Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):  I used HTML and CSS to come up with my webpage.  As we already had a basic knowledge of CSS I used the already downloaded text and added some others to match it up exactly with my HTML text.  I added some references to H3 and H4 titles giving different background colors and different font colors.  I also used padding to move text and images sideways across my webpage so everything was not centered.  I added a comment to let me know which Hex color code was what color because those codes became confusing for me.
• Message:  My message is to show a logo that shows customization.  The jackets being sold are fully custom so I want people to see that in the logo and webpage.
• Audience:  My audience are teens and young adults who want to stick out in a crowd with something nobody else has.
• Top Thing Learned:  The top thing learned was a basic knowledge of webpage design.
• Color scheme and color hex:  My color scheme was monochromatic with red, AF4141 is the color code for the red I used.  My main color is black because I want to have a logo that can fit on most colors of jackets and still pop out.
• Title Font Families & Category: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif
• Copy Font Families & Category: Palatino Linotype, serif
• Changes made to the CSS: I changed many padding options for my image, H1, and H3 HTML codes.  I changed the font for both my body and my title texts.  I took off the border edges that rounded off edges and made them flat.  I also changed many font sizes to add contrast.  I added some separate CSS coding for H3 and H4.

This has been my favorite project thus far.  I learned new tricks for for point and shoot camera that I didn’t think existed.  I loved manipulating the colors to pull out certain colors and hide others.

I tried to follow the guidelines as best I could, but it was fun to use some creativity to come up with the different shots.  I tried to use a lot of red to contrast the cold and wet winter we are having.  I also tried to use Photoshop as best I could to get the sky and colors to work.

Project 1 Flier

• Description:  This flier is for the purpose in promoting a leadership conference for recent graduates.
