Quote Typography

Pre-Production

Before even opening Illustrator, I knew that I wanted to use quotes that were between 4-8 words. All of my work in graphics this year has fit to a simple/cleanish style, so I wanted to continue following that. I thought that my using shorter quotes, I wouldn't feel pressured to crowd the screen with lots of text and different fonts. Because of this project, I got the chance to download a ton of new fonts for future projects. Although according to my neighbor, they all looked the same and I agree! Most of my font choices were brush lettering or clean-cut sans serif.

Production

This project came pretty easily to me. I've arranged fonts before, so this part of the process was the one of the quicker steps. I didn't like arranging them in black in white because when putting them all together, I couldn't overlap without it being unreadable. It made the process more difficult, but once I was able to put those drafts into color I was able to move much faster. With color, I was able to experiment with all of the quotes and with help from my friends in class, I decided on my final colors. 






Post-Production

Overall, I liked how this assignment turned out. My favorites definitely had to be the "see good.." and "find the.." quotes because I think their color schemes and font arrangements really worked well together. I would go back and change the other two because I don't think I did my best on those, they seem a bit boring and could use another appealing factor. This assignment really helped me realize that I wanted to go into graphics next year after confusion between choosing entertainment or graphic design.

Sidewalk Chalk Activity

As our team began to go through the lists of symbol ideas, we decided that none of them really suited our group. For a while, we were stuck and didn't know exactly what to do. Until out of no where, one of my group members announced the idea of a cheesecake, with absolutely no meaning behind it. Why, you may ask? I still have no idea. But as we started working on the idea, we each incorporated our own "symbols" that meant something to us. It was decided that there would be a normal cheesecake, which would be the focal point of the flag, surrounded by a music note, and for a strange reason, a fidget spinner cutting the slice. Our group (center table) brainstorming symbol ideas . While we thought of ideas, our team luckily got along. During the first day, we sketched the flag and talked about possible color ideas along the way. The process ran smoothly, with no major disagreements and we used our time to erase things that we didn't think we wanted. Overall, t

First Semester of Junior Year Graphic Design Reflection

First Semester of Junior Year Graphic Design Reflection Throughout my first semester in graphic design, I've gotten the opportunity to go more in depth with design processes like patterning, illustration, and branding. From each of these projects, I have taken away at least one of the five guarantees of eComm. The most relevant of them being technology, as we spend most of our days designing on the computers. I've learned a lot of new features in our software this semester, especially the type that relates to patterning. I first used it with our patterns for the subscription box project, turning my designs into swatches and replicating them for the dielines. I'll definitely be able to use this with future projects and endorsement opportunities. The next most effective guarantee for me was communication. I relied a lot on the feedback and constructive criticism from my peers to critique my work. I took their thoughts and combined them with my own self-thoug

Music Video

"Crush Culture" Music Video Pre-Production For this assignment, we were asked to either recreate a music video or create a new one from scratch. My group chose "Crush Culture" by Conan Gray to recreate. We didn't really have a specific "theme" that we wanted to apply, just something that was unique and not too mainstream. We really liked the concept of the video, and thought it would be fun to film and edit. Although each of us was assigned a specific title, we were pretty flexible on roles and each contributed to different parts of the process. I was mainly the cinematographer for this project. Production The filming process has been extremely difficult on my group, and admittedly, we still aren't done. Scheduling has been very troublesome, because every time that we've prepared to film, the weather has not been permitting. We planned to film in the first week, hoping to film at PRT, but we had scheduling issues with our main actor.
