InDesign Projects 2011

 Project 1: Introduction

Since many people haven't used InDesign, our introduction assignment was to create a simple flyer about something that was interesting to us. We had to create a title and add some pictures and text using the box tools. 

 

Project 2: 4-Page Book

For Project 2 we had to create a 4 page book-like thing. We had to create the header logo in Illustrator and Photoshop, then import it into InDesign. Then, we had to arrange the pictures and text in a way that was appealing for all the pages. 

Project 3: Columns and Pictures

We were supposed to create a flyer-type poster with a cover. We had to use the columns to separate text and pictures from an ad selling a product. I can't seem to find the file on my computer, so I'll post it when I find it. 

Project Final: Full-Length Booklet

For the final we had to pick a band or a graphic artist, and design a booklet around them. For mine, I chose a type of a band. We had to create the cover and find the graphics, as well as create one our own. Then, we had to add 2,500 words worth of text around pictures, and still make it visually pleasing. There are some errors because I had used Photoshop for some of the picture printing and InDesign for the words on certain pages. I may or may not post a Photoshop version of some of the pages. 

Photoshop Assignments 2011

Photoshop Assignment 1: Collage

This is our introduction assignment for Adobe Photoshop. We were to find images off the internet/google and put them together into one piece of work utilizing layering, cutouts and the magic 

wand tool. 

Photoshop Assignment 2: Soviet-Style Poster

This project was meant to mimic the style of old Soviet propaganda posters. So we had to use sharp angles and bold blocks of colors. Textures were to be used as well as some filters, like the Photo Filter. 

Photoshop Assignment 3: Movie Poster

For this assignment, we had to create a B-Movie poster based on different techniques we had previously learned. We had to start with a background image, come up with a title, and add characters to the image to create a scene about what the movie was to be about. I chose bunnies because bun-buns are awesome.

Photoshop Assignment 4: Book Cover

Here we had to use a lens flare as our main technique. The image was to create a cover for a book, using a bronze-colored object and applying the lens flare to it to create that "shiny" effect.

Photoshop Final 1: Rosy Dragon

For the final, we had to use all the techniques we had learned throughout the class and apply it to the final. We also had to use a drawing we created ourselves. So, I made a dragon, colored in in Photoshop and added a flowery background.

Photoshop Final 2: Sweet and Sorrow Song

For this part of my final i collaged together something on a theme of 'song.' I used filters and layering to my advantage, as well as color. I also placed some text for added effect. 

Photoshop Special: Whut?

An unused work for my final. It's a picture consisting of a bunch of random images for a funny effect. I still don't understand it.
