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

I had a tom of fun making this logo and it only took me about 15 minutes to create!   

Redesigned Portfolio

Wow. I am so happy with my portfolio. I think that is sleek and really shows my personality, and my aesthetic as a designer.  am really proud of how much I have learned in web design this semester. I know I am a bit off track, but I feel accomplished. My portfolio is not done by any means. I have a few things left on my to do list. I would like to like my O.P.E.N website to my portfolio along with my TV25 website. I also completely forgot to include my manny's Marbles site, which I think could add a lot to my site. I also need to delete/add links to the social media buttons after the contact page. I would say that I am very close to the finish line though. Overall things that I struggled with in this project is the header picture, the colors, and the portfolio photos. The header image took a combination of all of the adobe programs, and some assistance from Ava's photography skills. I needed an image that had a white background. So I set out into the hallway to take som
