Finishing My Days in Intro to Computers

So a month has gone by and I survived it. I learned a lot about how computers work, how photoshop works, and how to maintain creativity using C.R.A.P. After all the projects we did, it still amazes me how far and wide the Graphic Designer job can go; simply from doing a Travel Poster to a Movie Poster to a Business card; we have quite a broad field of view to look forward to when were finally done and have our degrees.

Making a Movie Poster of my Own

We now have done our third project in our third week of class. The project was to take an already made movie poster and recreate it with our own twist added to it. The Poster had to involve at least two visible faces, which we had to alter out and replace with faces of ourselves and fellow classmates. This was a fun and very thought out process. We had to take multiple photographs to try and get the lighting to relatively match that of the original then tweak it within Photoshop to make it make even better. To me, this was my favorite project we did for the month.

The Days after Finishing the Travel Poster

So during our second-ish week in school we got our second project to make the travel poster. I ended up deciding to do the club/nightlife of Rio de Janeiro. It turns out a Travel Poster is much easier, at first i tried to draw attention by using different pictures being, being a mix of Rio and Club life. After awhile though it started getting to crowded and my teacher came and helped me realize that just a few simple pictures that offer repetition, like color or style. Eventually i got the poster to a point I liked and it really draws attention with vivid, bright colors causing the eyes to constantly bounce back and forth, from the top to the bottom of the poster.

First week and Project at Keiser University

The Beginning Days of My Experiences at Keiser University

Our first Project we are receiving is to create a Travel Poster for a place we have been or want to go one day in our future, mine is going to be about Japan. I know a little bit about creating posters, to an extent, but I'm gonna be glad to learn more about how to make an effective poster, as to draw a certain demographic to the information I'm relaying.

What i do know about creating a useful poster is, you want to create a layout that flows; as to draw someone's attention to the most important information on the page. Also I'd want to use pictures that help support that information as much as possible, or to compliment a saying on the page. Besides this stuff, which seems like the basics, I cant wait to learn to how to fully express the message of why visiting a certain location is a great idea.
