This video did a tutorial on the page tool. I feel like this tool is very simple to use because there are only a few things you can do with it. You can choose the size of the page, which corner you want the reference point to be on, and if the page is vertical or horizontal. I think this tool would be very useful when doing any graphic design project. I did not find much interesting about the video as it was fairly simple and straightforward.

This video is a tutorial for the gap tool. This tool seems super simple because all you are doing is manipulating the size of the gap between two things. Those two things could be an object and text, page and text, or page and object. I think this tool could be used very often if not used in every graphic design project because its very useful. You can also change the size of the object when changing the gap distance. I would utilize this tool when creating a project with a lot of images and text.

This tutorial talks about a bunch of different tools but the one I will talk about is the pen tool. The pen tool is also in photoshop and is used the same way. You can use this tool to make any shape you want as you are able to add curves wherever. You are also able to add a color to the shape as long as all the lines are connected into one shape. This tool is very useful and can be used in many different projects. I would say the main use is creating unique shapes.

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

Image
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

Image
  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.
