P7 – Html and Css

 

Description: This web page is designed to tell about the Candle Emporium logo.

P3 – Photography

Description: This design is a touched up photograph with type and color elements.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): After a photo session with my digital camera, I selected a photograph that followed an asymmetric style with interest and a color scheme I could use. I brought the photo into Photoshop where I adjusted the light levels, vibrancy/saturation, colors and sharpness. I reevaluated my colors and shifted some of the colors to match the color scheme. I tried a few designs and with the help of many critiques, selected one that would work. I added bubbles of color which I texturized to match the photo’s style. I then added text to illustrate the message best.

Message: The message is that every decoration and element has a place.

Audience: The audience is directed to those who are decorating their homes.

Top Thing Learned: I learned to mind my proof and be very careful with it.

P2 – Event Ad

Description: This event ad details a charity activity in monochromatic green coloring.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I began with drafts into which I worked various design principles. I then found a suitable photograph that worked well with the event that I had in mind. I chose to use Microsoft Word as an assessable program to create this event ad. Setting the photo in the design I had chosen from the drafts, I began to incorporate text and information into the ad. I then used a color filter to change the photo into a monochromatic set up and worked with the contrast and brightness until I found a pleasing setting. I used the freeform tool to create the text backdrop leaf symbols to which I added color and transparency. After placing the text into the leaves and some modifying, I sought the advice of a few others. This lead me to a number of changes that improved the ad, such as the title enlargement, certain text alignments, and a slight color change to the leaf backdrops.

Message: The message is that if they come to this event they’ll help preserve nature.

Audience: This event add is directed at those who appreciate nature.

Color scheme and color names: Monochromatic Green

Top Thing Learned: I learned that the advice of others will quickly bring about a better and more effective design.

P1-Flier

Description: This flier is a description and information for a leadership conference. The flier,  which is kept in the grey scale, demonstrates contrast and simple form to clearly display it’s message and information.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I started by evaluating the needs of this project and sketching out drafts that met those needs.

I shifted elements around and tested several objects, various shades, and different typography to compose a design that exemplified the message. I then sought the opinions of others who provided critique that aided me in improving the design. I added multiple elements and moved a number of other elements before deciding that the project had reached completion. From there, I printed it out and posted it.
