business cards

 





For this assignment we were asked to create personal business cards with our name and "phone number"/email. Each business card had to include our personal logo that we had created in Adobe Illustrator, along with our personal information. Each of the three logos were different colors, therefore the color scheme of each business card needed to go along with the color of each of the logos. The cards were created using Adobe InDesign, using the shape tool to create the background colors and designs both on the front and back of the card. Included at the top are the sketches I drew prior to creating the cards. I drew inspiration from business cards that I saw online and ones that were provided as examples in the description of the assignment.

 In this project, we were asked to choose a movie or TV show to insert ourselves into. I chose the movie Step Brothers, more specifically the "Boats N Hoes" scene of the movie. This scene occurs at the end once the brothers have decided they were going to be best friends. They create this song on their dad's boat and end up crashing it at the end of the music video. I happened to be on a boat around the time of this project, so I was able to take my picture on a boat, making it easier to insert myself into the scene. I inserted myself to the left of Brennan, more of in the background so that it looked the most seamless. The scene is a very silly, unserious vibe; this is why I chose to take a sillier picture so that it would look more natural as I inserted myself as a part of this particular scene.

InDesign Tools

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgbtUQQ2eno InDesign is a very powerful/helpful tool used for creating layouts for both print and digital media. Understanding the basics of the software is crucial for navigating the program efficiently. The selection tool is possibly the most frequently used tool in the software. It makes it so that you can move, resize, and manipulate different objects within your project.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AshfNo-i8Ws The type tool is used for adding and formatting things within your project. You can click anywhere on the page to create a text frame where then you can create of paste your content. This also allows you to adjust your font styles, colors, size, and other text attributes. The rectangle frame tool allows you to draw rectangle/square frames that can be used for placing images or other content within your project. Once the frame is created, you easily can import images or graphics into your project.  https://www.youtube.com/wa...

Postcard

For this assignment we were asked to create a postcard in relation to the upcoming solar eclipse. The solar eclipse is occurring on Monday April, 8 around the middle of the day. I chose to promote the city Buffalo, New York; as they are in direct line of the path and will see total darkness during the event. The postcard was created on the InDesign software, using stock images of both a solar eclipse and a skyline of Buffalo, NY when it is dark outside. Included on the postcard is the location of the event, the date, and the time that the event will occur. On the back of the postcard, there is again the location and title of "Solar Eclipse", along with a "postage stamp" that was created using our own personal logo/trademark on Adobe Illustrator. The background along the edges of the back of the card is made up of images from the picture of the eclipse, keeping the overall vibe of the card dark- relating to the eclipse and losing total sunlight for a period of time.
