Senior Project Week 1

The first week of my senior project was spent sorting all my thoughts. I finally developed a rough sketch of all that I wanted to do. I wanted to create a magazine, called Freedom Magazine, that was designed and written by myself. The goal of this magazine is on mental health, and everything surrounding that topic. I struggled with what I wanted to do but I found some inspiration and decided on this topic which holds dear to my heart, plus I get to combine it with what I love: design. After I felt confident in my concept. I started with the front cover. I decided on a hand written font that say "Freedom" and a very sleek sans-serif font that says "Magazine" underneath. I found a stalk photo that I began to manipulate. I found out that I really just wanted a simple magazine front that focused on one image that had a very easy appeal on the eyes. Over Spring Break I had a photo shoot with Ava Yerkes to use for my cover. I got some great shots. Here are my favorites

Motif and Repeating Pattern

Motif and Repeating Pattern These are my two repeating patterns that i made for graphic design. A motif radiates from a center point while a repeating pattern can continue if you connect the two ends. The scope of he project was to crete our own original patterns after we had done some tutorials and learned the skills. We also all voted on colors to use so that they had some form of uniformity. That taught me how to use the color books with a specific number to find the exact same shade as everyone else. The day after I made my repeating pattern I went to the gas station and saw the same pattern in black on a door matt! I thought it was quite funny. It just showed me how patterns are just used everywhere and that made me giggle. I learned a lot during this project especially when i learned that making mistakes is sometimes good and thats how my moti...
