Ending | Week 7/8

It has been interesting to work on the three booklets and the resume. At first, it was all very overwhelming to have four different documents to work on. Then, I started to work on my booklets and used my resume as sort of a break.

Once I figured out the sizing for the margins, the page sizes, and the text, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.

I did buy some paper at the Anchor Express paper shop, but I made the mistake of bringing it home and not having a big enough cutter there, but I still wanted to have some other dimension besides a flat piece of paper. The print shop previously specified that they needed a maximum of 48 hours to have a project completed, so I submitted mine last night and it will be done at 4:00 today. I'm going to bring it home and use the kind of sparkly card-stock paper I purchased and cut out the circle part from the sun and have that be an almost 3-D element.

I selected the circular part of the sun to only be cut out since it's the one thing that doesn't change on each booklet.

I really enjoyed this process, and if I were to change anything, the main thing would be to use the paper I selected at the paper shop for the cover and text paper.

With the resume, I don't have a ton of experience but I had the timeline be at the end of summer, because there were multiple positions that I could have potentially had (and a majority of them are actually confirmed now, so I'm excited to put some of those on there! I also just helped KTIS today, so I can put that on there, too). The color included was my favorite color and the style is something I would be interested in, but I think I'll create a few different types of resumes, so that certain ones can fit various places for various types of applications.

In the Process | Week 4

Magazine Remake Working on the magazine spread remake was very interesting. To start it off, I couldn't figure out the scanner at first, I had to do a handful of photoshop, and I didn't have the exact font I needed.With the photoshop, I had accidentally scanned my spread with one of the top corners of a page was folded over and I did my best to edit it out. Regardless of obstacles, I am still proud of what I did. I selected the spread based off of the colors and the overall aesthetic feel of it. Original Spread Spread Remake  It was a process to figure out the correct spacing between lines, letters, words, etc. I ended up using four layers in the remake of the spread: original scan, a photoshopped version of the scan, photos and other icons (such as arrows and stars), and text. The one thing I would change, if I were to select the biggest issue, it would be the corner of the page that was accidentally turned over when I had scanned it. For a first try at photos...

Posters and Books | Week 5

The creative process has been very interesting when it comes to the design of the posters. I've gone back and forth about different ideas that could all work, but I've selected the one that I wouldn't just enjoy the most but the one that could use text best to design the poster and describe the concept in the best way. Topic: I've chosen the TV show 'Psych'. It's a contemporary detective show where this guy pretends to be psychic (he's just observant) to keep a job at the police department. I've decided to use the show's font (American Typewriter Bold). I couldn't find the exact one, but I did find American Typewriter Bold 2, and it looks pretty identical to me. The TV show's color is green, so I think I could use green, black, and white. Poster #1 This one will focus on the main character and include some of his quotes and things that are important. I'll create a pineapple (there's one in every episode, or almost ever...
