Term 1
Graphics
This was the first project we had to do for graphics. We had to get photos out of magazines and make an ad promoting something. We had to use colors that would catch a persons eye. I did my ad as a Starbucks ad. I got a picture of one of the drinks from one of the magazines then added some color to the background and put some other images from magazines in there. I used some filters on the images. I felt like the blue background made the brown coffee bottle pop out more.
For this project we had to created three windshield flyers. For are first flyer we had to use one of the flyer templates in Microsoft Publisher. So for my first flyer i did a Town Fair flyer inviting people to come to the Berkley Town Fair. For the next two flyers we had to create it from a blank piece of paper and it had to be Halloween related. Also the second one had to be a blank landscape template. So for my second flyer i made a Halloween costume party flyer. For the third flyer it had to be in black and white and had to be one of the other flyers but set up differently. So for my third flyer i did the Halloween costume party but in a different set up.
This project we had to make a brochure about are store or business explaining what are store/business is about and some other information about it. Such as what we sell, things on sale, what the store looks like inside, etc. I did my store based on a surf shop. That has beach things. But mostly sells surf boards. On the front there is an address, store hours and what number you can call to get in contact with the store. I put things that were currently on sale. I gave some information about the store. We also had to put are picture on the brochure and say who we are and why are store is better than other stores.
For this project we had to choose a famous person and create a greeting card that they are sending to us. We had to edit the picture of famous person with at least five different types of things in photo shop. For mine i chose Lionel Messi for the person who was sending me the Card. The card is a soccer theme Happy Birthday card. I edited the picture of Messi five times. The five edits that i did to the photo were, I changed the contrast/brightness, Blur the background a little to make him stand out more, changed the hue/saturation to make it a little more red, also change the selective color to make the jersey's color pop out a little bit more, and then i changed the curve a little.
For this Project we went to Thayer street, Providence Rhode Island. We had groups that had different topics to search for on the street. My group did Sweets & Treats for our topic. We had to get pictures that we thought were sweets and treats. We had to find stores that had sweets or treats in the store. So we did Ben and Jerrys, Froyo world and Starbucks coffee. The treat that we found in Ben and Jerrys was the ice cream they had in there. Froyo world had frozen yogurt and some sweats in there. The last place we found with sweets and treats in them was Starbucks because of their coffee and baked goods. On the front page of the brochure i put a picture of were the Street was with an outline of the area we stayed in. Also i put the Street name, city and state it was in.
