typography

     For this project I knew what quotes I wanted to use with out thinking about it too much. the quotes I used are ones I tell myself everyday and ones I live by. To start I went on da font.com and I downloaded at least 15 fonts just to have handy and so I could try a whole bunch of different styles without having to guess what the word will look like with the font.

      After I put my quotes in styles and fonts I liked I added some pictures to go along with them. during this process I got done rather fast so I decided to add other quotes just so I had more to choose from. I had at least 8 black and white put together quotes and after playing around with them I choose my best 4.

     As I started to add color I changed a lot about some of my quotes. Theres some I changed completely and like a lot more then the original version. I also added some more effects to the quotes as I added color. As I added more color I also added more graphics and designs as well as moved some things around. I also ended up changing some fonts and rearranging most my designs.


       One of my black and white quotes I didn't really like but wasn't to sure how to make it look good. I started just adding colors and shapes to it. I decided to just restart the whole thing. I looked online for different layouts and fonts and found a layout I enjoyed and stated messing around with colors for it.

       I enjoyed using black and white to make my quotes first so I had an idea of what I wanted to do when I added color and it cut out the stress of what colors look good together at the end. it kept me more organized and less stressed because I didn't have to worry about color. It made it easier to add color later and it also helped me find flaws in the work that I could fix.

     Adding color after also made it easier to find a color pattern because there was less to worry about all I had to think about was color. This was my best work I've made all year and I'm proud of my finished product. I really enjoyed making this project and playing around with the letters and colors and see what I liked and disliked with my designs.

     As you can see my finished product looks totally different from my black and white ones and I really like how they turned out and hope we do another project like this soon. I learned a lot about typography and I would enjoy to learn more and see what else I can create.

Over the year we had a lot of great projects, one of my favorites was the typography project. In this project we used quotes that relate to us and used different colors and fonts to display our quotes. I enjoyed this project because it was super fun to make and at the end I was very proud of how they looked. This project took a few weeks to complete and I faces many challenges. One was finding what fonts and layouts looked good with the quotes. There was trial and error and deleting and restarting. Going into the project I had no idea what any what I wanted to look like. Playing around with the quotes gave me more of an idea of how I wanted them to look. Playing around with format, font, and colors was very fun and relaxing to me. I tried a lot of different styles and designs till i was happy with what I made.  After I made the 4 that was required and I liked how they look I had a few extra days. I wanted to make some extra quotes just so I had more to choose from and see if I co...

final review on my work this semester

Image
     This semester I don't think I did my very best work. Im not the best at graphic design and I font see myself using it in the future. I have learned few things on Adobe Illustrator but I don't feel the need to know how to use it for anything but this class. I still will continue to finish my projects and turn them in but I honestly don't find much joy or reason to do it in my future. I hope next semester I can do better and give more time into my projects then I did this semester. transfer print      The few projects I completes this semester that I enjoyed finishing was the transfer print and the nature man. The printing process was nice because it was off the computer and ended up looking better then I imagined. The nature man was hard at first but after I got the hang of it I enjoyed it. it got stressful at the end because I didn't get a good copy of the instructions and I had to go back and fix most the project. I still really enjoyed how it tu...

vector project

      For this project we had two options for our project. The first one was an organic reproduction of a portrait or a triangle reproduction. At first I choose to do the organic option and as I was completing it I decided I didn't like how it turning out. so I decided to change to the triangle project. Restarting a whole project a few weeks before its due and also being absent for at least a week made it very stressful.      We had to use a picture of a family member or family pet so I decided to use my sister. because I thought it would be something nice for her and she always likes to see what I make in ecomm. she is excited to join the program her freshman year.     I started the first project with a lot of hope that I could make it look good. When it started not turning out how I pictued it and I tried to add and change it to make it how I wold enjoy it and be proud to turn it in but it still wasn't something I would have been proud to tu...
