This week, we were asked to pick a company and start making a business card. I chose Coca-Cola Company because it’s my favorite brand and I thought it would be fun to work on. I was nervous to start this because I found the typesetting assignment to be pretty difficult, but starting this project was […]

Things Aren’t As Easy As They Seem
I have now entered the interesting journey of making my own business card. I really like the idea of making and designing my own business card, but I have no idea where to start. For the career I want to pursue I will be given a government business card for whatever section of government I … Continue reading Things Aren’t As Easy As They Seem

Business Card Reflection
This week’s assignment consisted of starting to create our own business card. I was nervous yet excited at the same time to tackle this project. I was nervous in the fact that we were beginning our very first InDesign project and I am still not as familiar with the program yet. However; I find design to be […]
Business Card Reflection
For this assignment we were asked to create and start our business card. I really enjoyed this assignment because I have been interested in making a business card for myself for some time, but never knew how. I spent a few hours just messing around with the design, where the logo should go, what kinds of fonts, etc. While it is still in the works, I really am proud of what I have come up with thus far. When we…

This week was our introductory lesson in Photoshop and InDesign, and watching the videos felt similar to what I imagine taking a drink out of a fire hose feels like. The most important lesson I learned this week is video tutorials make… Continue reading Trying New Things is Fun
So now that’s over…

As part of boot camp, I had to watch about 4 hours of Lynda.com tutorial videos on the inn’s and out’s of Photoshop and InDesign and do the corresponding exercises; identify different sections of a newspaper including the headline, masterhead and jumpline and finally design my own… Continue reading So now that’s over…
JMC 3433 Unit 1.3 Reflection
Well that was terrifying…. This was my first time ever creating something in inDesign. Was it hard? Absolutely. Was it as hard as I originally thought? I won’t say yes, but it would by no means easy for me. We were simply asked to recreate a newsletter/flyer. It took me a lot longer than I…Read more JMC 3433 Unit 1.3 Reflection
Module 1.3
This week we seemed to be focusing on the type on newspapers. We were asked to both identify the key elements of a newspaper as well as recreate them using InDesign. However, we were also asked to watch videos on Photoshop which seemed unrelated to the rest of the section – although useful. I would…
My first experience with Photoshop and InDesign
This weeks main focus was to get us familiar with Photoshop and InDesign. At first I was terrified. I am the worst when it comes to technology so I knew it would be challenging and I would be getting very little sleep this week. I was right, but somehow I made it through it. Watching the… Continue reading My first experience with Photoshop and InDesign
