Tutorials

        The indeisgn tutorials are really simple, and can guide you easily, which is why i am so fond of how they explain these little projects to better understand the software it self. And every time I find my self wandering on indesign I always have some fun finding out new things and new creative ways to use the software. Which is why I chose these two tutorials to do and show to you all today.
 
        The main focus of these tutorials is to learn new things about indesign. And one of the first things that I learned very recently that indesign can do just like illustrator can is create custom path text and with said text you can change a lot of its properties. While illustrator has it beat on some instances when it comes to this specific niche action, the cool thing about indesign is the way you can envelope it into your full piece, and how all of different edit, type, and object uses can also effect the text as well, while keeping it all well put together and organized. But with that said, it leads me to my next piece. The real world uses of indesign and how it can also transform tons of information into condensed pieces of information. And what I mean about this is the use of tables and other creations in the table menu. While the "tables" menu itself seem very self explanatory the knowledge needed to use this menu goes a lot deeper than i anticipated and still kind of baffles me how a lot of data branches, and other form of analytic personnel don't use this software more.

Designing Emotion- Week 2

Image
                       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...

My Colleague.

Instructions Visual Voice Inventory.  Create a collage or slide show of 8–10 pieces of your past creative work (photos, drawings, designs, etc.). Analyze them as a set: Write down the first words or feelings that come to mind for each piece, then look for patterns. Do certain adjectives repeat? Do you see a consistent color scheme or subject matter? Next, ask a friend or classmate to view the collection and describe what they  feel  is  your  voice or style. Compare it with your own impressions. This inventory will help you identify elements that already make your voice distinctive. Based on this, list three qualities you  want  to emphasize more in your voice (for example: “playful humor,” “bold contrast,” “compassion for outsiders”). This list becomes a conscious target for your future projects.  Content   Reflection   Time Made Visible. Mesmerizing, Temporal, Distorted    Rain  Moody, Dreamy, Quiet ...

 Instructions   1 - Either A - Create a poster for an event, cause, or product that shows your understanding and application of Empathy, Composition, and Storytelling principles. Or B - Recreate a poster or Design that you have previously done, showing your understanding and application of Empathy, Composition, and Storytelling principles. 2- Create a detailed blog post that describes your visual choices and how you applied what you learned in Chapters 1-4 to make this poster tell a story.  Poster  For this project, I had the chance to create a poster of a movement, cause, or event of my liking. Or to recreate an old project of mine. At first I wanted to try and redefine and recreate one of my old projects, but looking back I don't really have any impactful type of creations..... But that's no worry. The image you see is made after a mental awareness movement. Since Men's Mental Awareness month recently passed past I wanted to try and give it a go with an organiza...
