Graphic Design


What is Graphic Design? 
           Graphic design is ,well it's different to everybody but to me its it is about making things extraordinary, beautiful, and interesting to look at. Making people stop and think, trying to figure out what the story is behind the picture or this mural and anything in between. Making someones day better by seeing something amazing or just even pleasant to look at. Graphic Design is learning to manipulate peoples minds to show them what you were thinking with out using words, or maybe justing getting the everyday person to stop their hectic lives and use there imagination to create a story behind your image. Creating something magnificent.   
           I loved this design because i thought of someone stuck in a slump or just depressed. When they felt like life was over they found something hat made them happy. Brought them joy. They felt alive, thats why i love the design.

Senior Project Final

I have finally finished my magazine. 1 front cover, 3 articles, 3 visuals, and 1 back cover. I did it. I am super proud of myself for all that I accomplished. I finally made something that represents not only my creativity, but also what I believe in. This project has also given me the confidence to know that I can start something from the sketches all the way to the final file, and have every single word and design come from me. I am so thankful that I trusted my gut and chose this as my final project. But most of all, I am glad that I learned that it is okay to use your experiences to influence your creative work.

Orthogonal Cube

  In illustrator we made orthogonal cubes. We watched a tutorial on Lynda.com to figure out how to make all of the sides equal. We had to copy and paste the three main lines and copied them several times to finish off the cube. Then we added color to the cube to give it depth/perception. The darker colors make it look farther behind and the lighter shades make it come forward. Then i rounded the edges of the cube so that way it did not have weird tails that lost the flow of the eye making it look 3D.  This was a challenge for me because there was so many steps to do to make it look accurate. However the end result was with it, because it looked really awesome and it's cool to say that I made this from scratch.

Photoshop Mask Video

In web we decided to explore the animation side of photoshop as an end of year experiment. The project was to use two photos, one that shows through the first when a mask layer is applied. Using the timeline feature you can create a timed sequence with type and a "peep hole" aspect with the mask. what pictures we used was up to us. I decided to do a picture of myself and the picture that would show through is a bunch of smaller pictures of things that are important to me.
