calligram

 



this is my calligram. It was fun to write a letter to myself for this project, I enjoy thinking about the future. When I think about the future, I think a lot about the house that I will live with my family. I think a lot about the interior of the house, but I also think about my family spending time in the house and enjoying it. That is why I chose a house for my reference picture. I love bright colors and I think it is fun to think and hope that maybe in the future bright colors on houses will be more acceptable and maybe I can have a pink purple and green house like this one. 

I first started by making the picture of the house the background and locking the layer. I then outlined it using the pen tool and filled in the shapes with the text. I went back and added detail by using different characters for the window frames, door handle, and the brick of the house. I think this really made the house come to life. I also added in the chimney and made it the word family because like I talked about in my letter to myself, family is very important, so I wanted it to stand out. I added in the grass, sun, and clouds last and I think it helped fill in the empty spaces. 

this is the letter I wrote to myself: 

this is the image I used for my inspiration:

final portfolio

  This is my final portfolio. I really like using indesign so I really enjoyed putting this together. Like I have said in other blog posts I like indesign so much because of how organized it is. Indesign just makes sense in my head. I really like how this project came out, I thought it was cool to see my progression through out the year. I also really like how the theme is cohesive throughout the whole project. For my color scheme I took colors from adobe.color.com they had so many to pick from. I went with a muted color pallet so my work could really shine through. I also really like the font I picked I think it is fun and pretty easy to read.

business cards

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...
