Indesign

I think the Pages tab will be helpful, especially for when we create our portfolios. This separates the different pages for a project, for things like magazine or journal designs. It will be easy to set my pages apart for my portfolio and design them separately but in the same file.

The grid layout will be very helpful for designing pages. I'll be able to see how each of my pictures and the text will fit together, and measure it out beforehand so I won't have to keep adjusting throughout the process.

Being able to add little symbols will help my portfolio to stand out. We did this a little bit in our example layout, and it's something I definitely want to incorporate into my own work. These add some life to the pages, outside of just text and the pictures of my projects.

The Internet!

      The internet is potentially the most useful piece of technology available today. However, it was not always around for people to be able to learn the answer to any question in a heartbeat. On the first day of 1983, the internet as we know it today was created by Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn. It was originally designed as a secret way of communication between scientists during the Cold War, and as time went on, engineers realized how great of a tool it could be if available to everyone in the public. The internet now is used for quick and easy research, communication across the world, and entertainment.       The World Wide Web is the collection of all webpages accessible by the public. Known more commonly as the Web, it was created in 1989 by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee. It was originally used as a system for managing and organizing documents. Over time, people realized it could be used for much more, as there are now websites for things such a...

Photoshop Part 2

Image
  I think this picture would be difficult to Photoshop myself into. There isn't a lot of extra space for me to fit in, and the shadows are very hard which I think would give me some trouble.  This picture inspired me for my Somewhere project. I think it would be a good idea to Photoshop myself into a scene where there aren't too many background objects. I wouldn't have to squeeze myself between anything that way, and could just put myself in however I look in my starting image.  This picture made me laugh. It shows how many possibilities there are in Photoshop. You can edit things to look any way you want. I think a rainy effect would be interesting to try to recreate. I love the rain and think it would be fun to try to make my own on Photoshop.

Somewhere Project

Image
I wanted to put myself into a superhero show, because I love this genre and think it's fun to imagine myself with superpowers. I put myself into a scene from The Defenders, because there was a gap in this elevator scene that I thought I would fit nicely into. This was one of my favorite projects to work on, because I got to put myself into a different world and I think it turned out really well. The hardest part for me was blending the edges of my picture into the background image, because the tools weren't working exactly how I wanted them to. Overall, I had a good time working on the Somewhere project and would definitely try something like this again.
