In this video it teaches us how to create a double exposure. I think this will be very simple to do because there are not many steps to it. Although simple, I think this tool could be used in many different ways to enhance your creation. One thing I found interesting about the video is that you have to move the layers around instead of clicking a move to back button like in illustrator. I feel that it makes it a little easier though.

This tool seems a little bit harder to use than the last one. The wavy effect seems to have a few more steps.   Not only do you need to add the image but you also need to overlay it and also use the brush tool to blend the colors together. You also need to switch the colors up to match the original image. I feel as if you wouldn't use this tool very often just due to the fact that I can't think of many images where I would want a wavy texture. I didn't find this video too interesting because it was pretty straightforward but a lot of steps.

This photocopy effect seems pretty cool and very simple. There are not a lot of steps at all and the effect could be used in many different ways. I think that you could use this effect when making something look like it was made years ago before recent technology because it looks like an old camera photograph. What I really like about this video is that this guy is super straightforward and clear with his words. If I ever wanted to use this tool in a project of my own I would come back to this video because its easy to follow along.

Tag Brush

Image
I chose to utilize my initials to form a simple yet attractive looking logo. The font of the M and the S is appealing to the eye and looks fancy. Especially on the tag brush, it is a mixture of fancy and a new, cool looking splatter effect. I believe this brush would appeal to both the new and older generation cause it demonstrates the best of both worlds. I also chose to take out the box outline for the brush itself because I feel like it was an un-needed add to the logo. I felt as though it dosent fit with the initials and I should have chose a different aspect to add.

Portfolio blog

This was a great project to end off the semester. I like how It ties together all of the projects we have done into a single piece of work. I was not a great fan of doing blogs over the semester, but now that I have something to look back on and read, it means a lot more. For example, when I read my about me blog for the first time in 3 months I got some sort of sentimental feeling. Lots has changed in three months and I can just tell by the things I wrote about three months ago in my first blog. I think the blogs are extremely important for this class because it is a way to explain into further depth the background thoughts of why the design looks the way it does. The blogs give a way for people who are better writers than graphic designers to further explain their work. This class has not only taught me a lot about AI photoshop and Indesign, but also a lot about myself. I am glad I took this class.

Business Card

  This business card project was very fun to do. I love the concept of business cards because I am changing my major to business and would love to be a business man myself one day. Seeing my name on a business card looks very cool. I chose the colors red and green due to the fact that its Christmas time so that was my inspiration. Having a website of my own dedicated to my business also sounds very interesting and makes me want to become a business man even more. Overall this project was a fun one to do.
