Project4: Business Cards


This project was all about me going through the process of creating my own business card. The main objective of this project was for me to create a professional business card that could have the possibility of being used in the real world. There were some other objectives such as creating my own original logo and getting to know InDesign. The process was quite the tedious one because to start out with a business card you need a logo, but before that you need goals that you would like the logo to achieve such as what you want it to express about yourself or what group of people are being targeted. The second step was for me to create three different logos in Photoshop that were original, expressed originality and meet the goals I wanted my logo to have. 
Next was the making of the actual business card which was done in InDesign because I can have the proper format for a business card. It had to include the basic contact information, yet not be basic and plain since you want to catch the audience’s attention; that could be done by playing around with different fonts and colors. In the end I created nine different business cards; there were three formats and three different logos which is how I ended up with nine cards. The reason in which I believe this is relevant to Web Design is because we must be able to have a profession image when we find a job or clients; not everything is centered around a computer, we must be able to professionally and efficiently communicate with people. Although I may not create my own business being able to create a business card either for a company or myself is key to having a professional image. In the future I will most likely have to use a business card, so having a sort of idea of the process that had to be done to create one is great knowledge to have.

Lab2: Editing Lancelot

Image
This is the second lab of this year and what we did was edit a picture of Lancelot using different adjustments. the main objective of this lab fro me was to experiment adjusting images in various ways so each one would have something unique about it but this lab has had something else in mind which was to teach us a new way to select an image which was to use edit in quick mask mode. the procedure of this lab was to first select Lancelot; however, we did not use edit in quick mask mode at first, we used whatever tool we wanted. the whole class soon realized how difficult it was to select Lancelot. then we learned about the magic of using edit in quick mask mode because we could then select most of Lancelot with ease without having the blue background ruining the image. After making sure that Lancelot was selected to the best of our abilities I had to make at least eight new layers using layer via copy but these Lancelots had to be smaller than the original Lancelot. this was done by sc

Project 3: Restore Old Photograph

Image
this project was the process of restoring a damaged photo only using the editing tools. the objective of this lab was to restore the photo to how it would be before all the damage; all the editing was to be done to the " best " of our ability. the way i completed the project was by using the various editing tools in photoshop such as the patch tool, spot healing brush tool, healing brush tool, content awareness tool, and clone stamp tool. By using these tools in various ways you can get rid of most of the damage done over time. The tool i used the most was the healing brush tool and the spot healing brush tool because in my opinion worked the most efficient. Of course it wasn't perfect, if used too much it would just blur the image so it had to be used with caution. To me this was a very useful even though it is very difficult to become acustom to. It is also relevant in Web Design because in nature or anything there will be a flaw and so to be able to correct the flaw i
