These are my business cards. For this project we used Indesign and I really enjoyed it, more than I thought I would actually. The thing I liked most about Indesign is how organized everything is. I felt like everything made sense and the saving process was really easy, I love how it put everything in a folder. Also everything just made sense to me having pages, it was nice to see multiple pages at a time.  For all of my business cards I started first by making the 6 pages and then making layers for my text, logo, images, and background. I then imported my logo first, because I wanted it to be my main focus. I then took the colors from all of the three different color logos using the eyedropper tool and saved them. I then added the background to all of the business cards and started to type up the information I wanted on the back.  I really enjoy how all of these came out and I am really proud of them, especially the first one. This one was actually the last one and the fastest one I cr

This layout of this video is very nice and even though it was a lot of information I feel like it was easy to retain.  I have never really used indesign before so because of this I tried to follow along with the tutorial and try out all of the functions that were being shown I think this helped.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg2FzMO-NrY  in design for the iPad pro  Like I have mentioned before, I really love to use my iPad pro for this class and other classes. Im not sure if it will be that useful for this section on indesign. I think it will be a lot better to stay on the computer for the next projects and this tutorial showed me that. You can definitely do some cool things with it on the iPad but I think I will mainly stay on the computer or desktop.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FclSU2_A_R4 keyboard shortcuts for indesign  I always love to look up

 this is my autoscopy. I wanted to go for a futuristic, trippy look for this project. I really enjoy how it turned out. To start I went on Pinterest to find inspiration, this is how I start a lot of my projects. I quickly realized that I wanted to include the moon and do something crazy with the sky.  When I found my inspiration photos I got to work by taking this photo of me on davis island and putting it in to photoshop. I then created layers to add in each icon like the butterflies, moon, planet, and smiley faces. Each icon got its on layer and I took away the background in the original photo of the icon. I then worked on the car background, I had to move the layers around and take away from the original photo to line it up correctly with the water.  The last thing I did was play with the saturation and hues of all the layers. I am so glad I did this because it really brought the whole thing together. There are a lot of meaningful things in this piece. I have always had such a speci

This photo of myself has always been one of my favorites and my family's favorite. I was very excited to use it. First I changed the photo from the original color to black and white by using the greyscale feature in photoshop. Then I got to work picking my colors that I wanted to use on adobe. This is always my favorite part. I love picking the colors because that is when the vision really comes to life in my head. Then I started to outline the large pieces like my hair sunglasses and scarf. I wanted to go for a pop art look so I played around with using the brush tool to outline the colors. I never really used opacity on photoshop before, so I also played around with that.  these are my black and white to color photos. This picture is of me as a baby and I have always loved it. I went for a pop art style and I really love how they turned out. I had a lot of fun playing with this much color, I love how sassy this photo is to begin with, and I feel like the colors give it even more

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyR_uYsRdPs  photoshop for beginners this video was really helpful to get the basics down.  I liked how it was laid out and how he showed you how to do things. I have used photoshop a little bit before, but this video was still really helpful. It is always so hard to remember how to do things especially when you took a break for a little.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk960TDAyLU top 10 photoshop shortcuts (most helpful shortcuts)  I am all about shortcuts so this is something I will always look up when I am starting with a new adobe system.

Watching videos like this is always so helpful. For some things using the

this assignment was very fun for me. I love taking past work and adding to it. I have never made a brush in photoshop before so that was very exciting as well. I love my logo to begin with and I love the graffiti look this project gave it. First we started by taking my logo and adding different layers to it and playing with the opacity. The most challenging part was keeping the integrity of the piece, allowing the viewer to still see what the logo is. I think I accomplished this. By having multiple layers it really makes the piece look authentic like it is actually a piece of graffiti.   This is my logo made into a brush, with black and white, and then took the brush and created a pattern. I really like how bright and different this work ended up being compared to my other work. I haven't really done that much work in photoshop and I really liked it. It's hard for me to break out from the norm, but I enjoyed the challenge.
