InDesign CD Cover

For this project we had to chose an artist to create a CD cover and the 16 page booklet inside which means we have to look up the lyrics and photos. I chose Nicki Minaj because I knew she would have plenty of photos. One problem I had with the lyrics was that Nicki curses alot so I had to cut out some

Don't worry I have more coming soon... I just finished economy, gray scale and line book projects for the Design class. And in my computer graphics class I chose to do Nicki Minaj for my CD cover, so we will see how that turns out. So I have alot to tell.

Computer Graphics: Illustrator Children's Book

  This is my attempt at 101 Dalmatians. We had to scan the book into the computer and trace on top of the photo using Adobe Illustrator CS5. I tell you what, that pen tool is a mess. But I got the hang of it anyway. The tool I hate the most would have to be the Gradient Mesh Tool. It really

Scale and Proportion

OK, it is time to get back to Graphic Designing. Finally, I received an excellent grade. 98% for Scale and proportion For scale and proportion, it is very important that you have to create a Golden rectangle and that requires finding the golden mean.  AB= x Yes, there is math in

Back to School: Movie Poster project

Computer Graphics 1:   So for Computer Graphics, I had to create a Movie poster in Photoshop CS5. I chose the movie Fast & Furious which is one of my favorites. You have to take 5 photos from the internet and create different layers styles such as gradient and creating a Mask for each

Sad news

I want to retract what I said about one of my projects. The one where I thought I would receive at least a 95. I didn't get what I expected. I don't even want to talk about it. Just that wiping the glue off with a moist towel didn't work because he could still see a mess. It wasn't that messy but I guess he could see the mistakes. I am so upset.

Boring

I am so tired of doing the same thing everyday. School-Chores-Work-Homework-School-Chores-Work-Homework. I definitely need to get away...&nbs

blood and sweat

This is not the finished product but it is close to it. I added a couple more triangles on the side. I could say that the types of balance in here could be: asymmetrical: its not the same on both sides but it still looks balanced overall. axial symmetry: the two sets of smaller circles are the same

Project 2- Design

Balance I am hard at work. Trying to think of how to design 3 types of balance in layers on top of each other. I have rearranged the shapes so many times. Types of Balance: Horizontal and Vertical Symmetry Occult Asymmetrical Balance Axial Symmetry Diagonal Symmetry Drawing out the shapes

Design class

First thing we had to learn was how to count on a ruler. Um, I am not that great with math so yea all of the 3/4 and the 1/4, I really had to pick up on that. The ruler is your best friend in this class. This is the first practice project. Our first assignment was Harmony, Variety, Balance. This

Just about ready

Design class was yesturday. And it was fun and alot to take in. I purchased most of my supplies and now I'm almost ready to get started. The book they want for the course is like $111! That is just crazy for a paperback. Luckily, I found one on ebay for so much more cheaper. Oh gosh,

Rewards

I never thought I would be rewarded for being cheap. Or I guess just being smart. On my quest of being a successful Graphic Designer, I was excited that I won a scholarship through my job.  We all know school is not cheap and I am not trying to end up in debt. So...oh yea my thing

Yipppeeeee!!!!

I am so happy! I recieved my scholarship!!! Alright, we are moving on the right track now. And it looks like all that financial crap has been cleared too. So now we can get this thing rolling. I just want to get my life started. I am just hoping that this career takes me somewhere. I have a man that

hmmmm

OK, so I am on my way to becoming a Graphic Designer. If only I can get all this crap straightened out with financial aid and my finances. I would like to get to know some fellow graphic designers, preferably some that are women and "african-tamerican" (Madea voice), to know what it is like for

struggles

My journey to become a Graphic Designer just got more difficult. Right now, I am having problems enrolling. If I don't handle this right I won't get financial aid!!!! I need money!!! There is always something that has to happen. There is always something. And then I have to talk to my job to make sure that I can clear my schedule for those classes.

Fly in the Buttermilk

Well the days are getting closer. Right now, I am having trouble registering and figuring out how to go to school and work. I have one of those jobs with an unpredictable schedule so it can be difficult to plan things. I also don't want to lose money because I'm chaning my schedule. I do have bills to pay!!! Ah, the life of a broke person. Isn't it

Inspiration

The date to sign up for classes for the fall is this month! I am nervous about it. I have researched and researched things about graphic design. I have noticed that it is a field that is overflowing with caucasion males. It had me worried that no one would even pay attention to me because of the
