Propaganda poster and self portrait


 

This is my propaganda poster, at first I wasn’t sure what to write about but then I remembered how important voting was this year. This year was my first year eligible to vote. I was very happy that my first vote was so important in this election. 

This poster was very fun for me to make, I loved taking a message that means so much to me and putting it into art. I really like the colors I used for the propaganda poster, they are muted but I feel like they still pop off the page. they have a strong contrast. 

The process of both of these pieces was to have the original photo in the background and then outline it and create many layers to make the hair and facial features. I have an iPad so I used the illustrator app to create these pieces. I have done this before so I was pretty familiar with the layers and how to navigate the app. I then took away the background layer multiple times to just make sure I was keeping the piece as accurate as possible. 

I started with the first one and then turned it into the propaganda poster. I took the advice from critique and changed the hair to simplify it and make it flow better with the piece. I also made sure to make the neck and face different colors to show that they are different things. I am proud of how these both came out. I like the colors I chose for both of them and I love seeing the changes I made and how it improved the piece.

    I like how sort of straight forward your poster is. It really gets your message across and the colors really catch your eye to make you look at it.

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.

in design tutorials

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXRT3dHu6_o  in design for beginners  I have barely used indesign before so this was very helpful. 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...
