I've been in a Graphic Design and Marketing class for about six weeks now. This whole experience, driving 30 minutes away from my home town to take this class, is of course, killing the gas in my car. But this experience is one that I will cherish as a young designer.
The point of this blog is to write all of the experiences and projects that we've worked on throughout these six weeks. The first project we were given from our Marketing teacher was to set up a professional e-mail account. So when we contact clients we can look more professional than having our everyday e-mail. Then project number two came from our Graphic Design teacher, to create a business card, for ourselves and a client. This was a little challenging, creating this business card, was only the second time I've ever used Photoshop in my life. Luckily, I was sitting next to an experienced user in Photoshop, she certainly helped me through this difficult program.
My client....he was a strange one. At first he wanted his business card to be red with clouds and his font color yellow. First thing I did was find a picture of clouds, then on Photoshop, I colored the background red. I thought I was doing great on his business card....then he wanted his photo on it. Then I hated it. It looked unprofessional, I met with him again and we decided to redesign the entire thing. I then made the business card more professional looking without clouds and his photo. We were both happy with the end result. My business card had a cherry blossom tree faded in the background with all of my information on the branches of the trees. I was happy with this overall assignment and think they both turned out well.
Our new assignment we'll be working on soon, this will be finding a toy from our childhood and putting it in a background to make it look like this toy is doing some kind of action. I'm looking forward to this but I'm also not. Finding a toy will be pretty tough.
I'll update more on what's to come for this class. :)
