Alex's Wonders

                  Hello all! and welcome to my blog! I just want to begin this blog off with saying it has been a very fun road and an amazing one at that, I would've never thought with this much time I could improve and greatly increase my project style and quality by how much it has improved so far. Overall my time with my peers have been some of the best moments of these recent times and truly wouldn't take anything else from these recent times.          But to end off my road of fun for a little bit I want to leave you guys off with 1 final creativity exercise that will open your mind to the outside world and make your eyes open up to the greater things that are around you.          At first hand trying this exercise was some of the more intuitive ones and it was more creative ones that I was interesting to try. There is only a couple of items need to start this exercis...

                  Hello everyone! To my blog. Today is a sad, but great day. Today marks the start of the new week, but also my last for a while. For the 2 months that I have been with my peers and great professor. They have been a blast and to call this my greatest 2 months is an understatement. I have enjoyed my time with my classmates and they have all been nice to me. So I don't want to leave this week off with a solemn little blog to say farewell to.             I want the start of this new week to show the great things that I have learned from these past 2 months, and to show all you guys and my classmates the great levels that I have created and the ways that I have leveled my game up from when I first started this journey years ago. With this week bringing me 2 great challenges to test my abilities. I will be proud to show you all and my peers what I can create and the crazy levels tha...

                  What's up guys! And welcome back to my blog. I wont waste anytime getting into this cool project. This week I was tasked with a mission to create 3 holiday ad's in Photoshop. And at first glance this project didn't seem like a big deal until it came down to find out what I actually wanted to base my project around. At first basic holiday ads seemed boring to me, so I kind of wanted to make this project seem more in tune with the holiday's and what better way to tune it into, than HOLIDAY MOVIES!                                                                                                            ...

                       Welcome all! Back to my little blog! In today's blog I have another a little short creativity exercise! This weeks exercise is gonna incorporate more Photoshop oriented things just for a little fun and just a little learning!          This weeks exercise is more a great learning opportunity for not only getting better as a designer, but also a great way to clear your headspace when getting into the designing zone and other sorts of stuff you may want to focus on. The specific creativity exercise includes you getting any image either it be a AI generated image of an animal or person of sorts, or just an image of anything online or in your phone. We want to take that image and create 2 separate projects, and you may now know where we are going with this one!                           ...

Today's little blog is to tell you about the cool stuff that's gonna be happening this week, and the projects that are gonna be coming up!           This week is kind of a cool little holiday special with Christmas around the corner and all, I was tasked to create a sort of special holiday ad. The whole premise of it mainly creating one from scratch or using any sort of references at your disposal. But I don't know about you, but I'm quite excited for this project, its a great chance to put all that I've learned so far and previous knowledge to the test to create great advertisements with 3 unique designs. And when it comes to it I would love to show you all how they came out. But that is a surprise for a later date.            Other than that this Wednesday c oming up I'm go...

                       Hello everyone! Today I was tasked with a assignment that I would hold as one of my most challenging so far. This weeks project was orientated around emotion. To me emotion is one of the harder features that I struggle with as a designer. Emotion has been some of my greatest hurdles when it comes to designing, the thought process, the layer scheme, the image choice, the whole aspect what the emotion has to revolve under. But this weeks task was only to pick a song to design your piece around, and contact mainly on the emotion is gives off.               When it came down to main choice that I wanted to revolve around, my playlists are a mashup or every genre under the sun. My main motto when it comes to music is "If it sounds good, I'll like it" and ive stuck with that for most of my life. But that was just one of the many little hurdles that I got ov...

All jokes aside I'm glad you guys tuned in for another week, and this week is gonna be packed with some cool stuff!

              Hello all! And welcome back! To my blog. I will get straight to business here, this week I was tasked to create some special postcards for a project this week, this postcard in question all had to have a special twist to all of them or to say a theme. All postcards created from original images had to have the same message for a certain community or non-profit organizer.          While having all these certain requirements in mind I wanted to figure out what type of message I wanted to portray in these images and to edit them to my liking and my style. While there were a lot of different struggles along the way in getting the perfect pictures and tuning them just the way I like them, I wanted to share with you all my final pieces and what they have to tell you all.                        And voila! These 6 Postcards were creat...
