Gridded Concert Poster Blog

This project was definitely one of my most favorite projects to do so far this year. The reason for this is because I got to use one of my favorite artists, which is The Weeknd. I enjoyed the fact that I could use the cover of "Trilogy" while still doing this project. 


I decided to make this a one-place, one-time-only event. Trilogy released on November 13, 2012. So, I made it a 10-year anniversary show only on November 13, 2022, at Metlife Stadium because I made the decision to choose this stadium. I had another idea for this project. Although I am not quite familiar with Photoshop, I still attempted to use it for this InDesign project. I decided to remove the arms of the lady because I thought she did not fit in my project, and to me it would look cooler with just The Weeknd in a completely black background. It fits with the dark theme of trilogy.

                                               

The sketch was originally planned to be this:


When I brought it to life, the final project looked like this:


I enjoyed this project a lot. Most of what I hoped to have from the sketches came into reality when I finished the project. Instead of putting "the trilogy tour" in the subtitle like it is in the sketch, I decided to put "10 year anniversary" because I wanted to make this event more special. I hope to be able to do similar projects in the foreseeable future. I like that this project allows us to incorporate modern artists into this work.

Self-portrait in Color Blogger

Image
This is the self portrait in color. I decided to make a piranha plant from Super Mario. The image below this was my inspiration for my work: I didn't want to just copy it completely. So, I decided to put my actual portrait instead of the piranha at the top and bottom right where the pipes are. I decided that as a final touch I would also put a question block from Super Mario. I thought it was a nice touch since there was a bunch of space above the three pipes with my portrait.  After the review, I made some changes to the self-portrait and now it looks like this:  I decided to make the background sky blue because to me it fits with the overall theme of the portrait in color. I added two bricks on the side of the question block because in the Super Mario games you can find two bricks and a question block in the middle in that order. I added coins because they can be found in that order as well. Finally, I added a star on the top of the middle pipe because the star is the best i...

Self-Portrait Grayscale Blogger

Image
  This is my self portrait in grayscale. This project was one of the most frustrating projects in the entirety of my time being in Graphic Design. I lost my file twice because it somehow didn't save, then, when I had it, I lost most of my work. I believe that I could have done better work than what I did. I almost mixed up all of my layers as well. What also made me take so much longer than it should have was the fact that I was too zoomed in while doing this project. I wanted precision at the start. However, by the end, precision was the least of my concerns, my objective was to finish it because it's been too long. Despite all of this, I enjoyed doing this project and would consider doing this again when I am more experienced with adobe illustrator and photoshop.

Expressive Words

Image
The expressive words project was one of the easier projects in my opinion. I really enjoyed manipulating the words in my project until I was content.  For the first part of my project, the first word that I chose for this project is the word donut. I decided to turn the letter o and turn it into a donut by putting another o inside the o.  For the second part of my project, I decided to choose the word animal. The first two letters and the last letter of the animal stayed the same, so I can change the rest of the letters while still being able to understand what the word is. Then the letter I got turned upside down into the ! sign. The  m was actually ^ grouped together with another ^ in order for it to look like an m. For the final a in the word animal, I decided to just use the @ symbol.   For the third part of my project, I decided to choose the word stretch. For this word, obviously, I stretched out the letters as far as I possibly could.  For the fourth part...
