Process Poster

Process Poster

The assignment for this project was to create a digital poster, using InDesign, that describes the development and process work of a previous project, done in one of our studio classes, without having us present to describe our work. The goal here was to use organizational and layout techniques to display information in a relevant and clear manner. Graphic elements as well as color theory are important in the development of the poster, things need to be cohesive and relate to each other. During this project I was able to enhance my InDesign skills, while learning how to use other software,Fireworks. This project utilized all the skills we have learned so far, Photoshop,Illustrator, InDeseing, as well as our sketching techniques and graphic elements.

Resume

Resume

The assignment for this particular project was to create a creative resume using InDesing for the resume layout. Other than focusing on the content and audience of the resume the objectives were to understand and use good graphic principles to organize the information using InDesign tools. It is very interesting how a good layout can make a huge difference when it comes to having people considering you as a potential employee. Creating a resume is a task of its own, yet creating a creative resume is harder than it seems; moreover, creating a minimalistic and simple resume is even more complex. This resume represents me as an individual and as a designer as well. I wanted to show a sophisticated layout, not leaving behind or taking away from the content, yet sophistication does not mean boring, I added color which comes right off my logo, violet and yellow, and to emphasize and tie everything else together an accent hue was added.

Logo

Logo

The task in hand for this project was to create a logo that describes and represents us, using our design philosophy as the inspiration for the logo. This logo was created in illustrator which is a software program similar to Photoshop, and the Wacom tablet. Both tools used to create the logo were completely new to me before starting the process of creation. The tablet is a perfect mix of digital drawing and hand drawing, which takes sketching to a new different level. The design that resulted after pondering for a while, and with the use of the tools provided, represents my stage as a designer up to this point. It is simple, as less is more, combing my initials, G and Z, as well as my last name. There is contrast not only with color but also with the fonts used. I thought a complimentary color scheme would bring to the table the contrast I was looking for. I chose violet and yellow as my scheme since the meaning of the hue describes my character as loyal, energizing and very imaginative, also my friends know that violet is my favorite color. The use of cursive writing describes the side of me that is delicate, formal, and simply beautiful, and that is something I hope to achieve through design.
