Senior Project Week 4

This week is starting to pull everything together. I finished my graphic about technology and phones and got it laid out in InDesign. After figuring out the layout for the type, I will only need to type my last article, a graphic to go along with that, and a back cover. I chose a topic for my last article and that is "Expression". I wasn't to end my mini magazine with a whole section of it being devoted to loving yourself, and learning how to let your emotions out. Some graphics I was thinking of implementing is
adding some scans of my own personal journals. I think this could go really cool or really cluttered. Ill figure it out I guess. I do know however what to do for my back cover. I want to have a picture of m jumping off of a wall with my arms up with really bold colors and then over the picture in bold type I want it to say "Finally Free". I think that will allow for a good story line throughout the whole thing. I am glad that I finally have my vision and it is super clear. I am super proud of everything I have made so far and I hope the last week goes just as well.

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.

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.

Senior Project Week 3

This week I was really productive. I got a lot of things accomplished that started piecing my final product together. I finished one article titled "Screens", so now I only have one more big article to write, but I would like to design some fun graphics to spice up the information a little. Along with getting on article completed I was able to finish the cover and the first two pages of my magazine. I am super excited for all the knowledge I am learning about writing, and InDesign. By the end of this week I hope to have selected and started my last article topic, and put together a few more pages that include some graphics and "Screens". Next week is the final week and I am very pleased with where I am right now I just need to keep reaching my goals!
