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.

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.

keyboard shortcuts for indesign 

I always love to look up shortcuts for everything not just adobe software so this video was very helpful. I even wrote down some short cuts so I don't forget them. I only used in design once before and it seems kind of complicated so these shortcuts should come in handy.

autoscopy

 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 ha...

color logos

these are my first color logos, I wanted to go for a monochromatic look overall, and I think I achieved my vision. The colors I chose all go together and are relatively similar to my natural hair color. I have always wanted to have pink hair so that's why I chose pink for the top design. I really like how it came out, and I think it could be used for a lot of different logos.  These logos are my favorite things I have ever made digitally. My curly hair is my favorite thing about myself so I loved showing that through my art. First I took down a lot of sketches on paper and then started to filter out the ones I didn't like and the last one I chose was very similar to this. I used my iPad again with the illustrator app to create these pieces. By using the pen I got a lot of control with all the curves and tiny details. I love using the apple pencil in my work. When creating these I made a bunch of layers and keep taking them away to see which ones worked the best. I love using la...

pop art photoshop

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 ...
