Business Cards

Image
  These are my business cards... I was trying to go for a fun but simple look so that it would be easy to reach and remember those who are trying to reach out. I do know that simple business cards look more professional than those that are full of information, which is why I decided to go for simple designs. I used my photoshop project of a self-portrait to add a bit of a difference to my card instead of doing my own picture. 

Photoshop HW 1

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnSAnAolpmI This video explains step by step how to get around photoshop. The video begins from scratch therefore it is very easy to follow along and create cool projects.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyR_uYsRdPs This second video is very long but separates each new lesson. The video does a very good job of explaining how photoshop works and all of the tools that it includes and how they work.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61mkx_OV61s This third video is from more of a vlogger... it is more fun and loose. He shows us how to change images from back and white to color or how to only change certain parts. This video is very useful when the time comes to select certain parts of an image and change certain things in the project. 

Tag Brush

  For my tag brush project, I used my original logo and created three different versions of it. I would definitely have changed it to a different color so that it does not look so dark and cold next time... I did try and incorporate lots of graphite-looking splashes and even though it is all the same color, I did enjoy this Tag Brush assignment. 

BW to color

  This project was using the adobe color wheel to transform a black and white image to 6 different color schemes. This was hard when it came to separating the colors evenly and allowing the new image to pop and look fun. My favorite is definitely the first one due to all the colors.

Somewhere

  I decided to photoshop myself in to my favorite TV show. Friends! This show was the first thing that popped into my head when thinking about this project.  I quickly began my search for a good Friend’s snapshot that I could use for this project. Once I had found a picture from the show, I began searching for a picture of myself to then incorpo- rate into the project. I used several different tools in order to cut myself out of one frame and be placed into another.

InDesign tools for beginners.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AshfNo-i8Ws This first video is about explaining the different tools that are included in Adobe InDesign. I do think it will be easier to get around this Adobe app due to the fact that it is similar to photoshop and illustrator. With our practice that we have had, I do believe we will all be able to get around this project as well.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXRT3dHu6_o This second video is made by an adobe professional. He goes into depth with the different types of projects and basic navigation that InDesign offers. Since he goes step by in his video.. it will be a very useful video to use throughout this section due to it being easy to find different topics and applying the in our projects.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVW8AF2TMnw This last video gives beginners 10 tips for a successful project on InDesign. He goes over things such as text and altering the text. He helps change sizes and small things such as fonts and sizing. This might not

There are four different websites I visited today.  The first one is the instagram account of Kirby Jenner. He is the fraternal twin of Kendal Jenner.  The second website is Average Bob's instagram account. He has several YouTube videos and is verified.  Third website is a blog about people asking the wrong guy for photoshop help. People reach out and ask for certain altercations to be made on their pictures. But this man takes those requests and does them in the wrong places, making the pictures look funny. The fourth and final website is 50 reason as to why you can't trust what you see on social media. It talks about the lies that social media can show you. One can assume a person looks a certain way but in reality the person looks very different.
