Multiplatform Delivery
As this month wraps up the 3 months worth of project revisions and explorations, I find myself excited for future endeavors. I have truly grown leaps and bounds in my design abilities from the first initial poster projects with mock Romeo and Juliet posters to designing a complete website, animated logo and promo video. The goal of this month’s class was to finish refining changes and further exploring challenges posed by the design committee in preparation of developing a cohesive portfolio that would project our design abilities. It is exciting in that for a person who started out watching hours upon hours of tutorial videos for Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign thinking that it would take forever to learn this stuff, that now I can cut right through each program expressing my creative ideas and actually produce some interesting results. To help guide a lot of the work I revised this month I revisited some previous training provided by artists such as Ina Saltz for typography, size, scale, and placement, Nigel French in designing logos and presentations, Sean Adams on composition and the golden section, and Hillman Curtis on "Process, Inspiration, and Practice” for the New Media Designer. I particularly found Curtis’ experiences and guidance especially helpful when it came to looking for new ideas and thinking beyond the common trends to find uniqueness and intrigue.
Here’s a look at some of my work:
