Independence Day: Movie Poster

This a fake poster. The project was to create a movie poster from existing movies, but put your own style on it. That's what I did. This was all thanks to photoshop. Comments, Questions, and Concerns. Thank You .

Productive

These two pieces of work is what I have learned and worked on it til it was perfect.  I learned how to make fire and smoke in photoshop. You can have the smoke to become any color that you want. The reason why I decided to pick the color blue for the color of the fire and the smoke is because it is rare to see blue fire. but you can have a green, orange, yellow, purple, etc. The second piece is twirls. You can use this for a background or use it for a interesting commercial in a magazine. Again, you can change into any color combination. Comments, Questions, and Concerns. Thank You. 

Advertisement

These are my advertisements I made in photoshop. I got inspiration from a plethora of ads online, t.v ads, and from classmates. I have enjoyed working on these ads because It has taken my creativity to the limit. These are good, but I will never be satisfied. I will always work to become a better designer and become more creative. There is no limit on imagination. These past two months in photoshop have been fun. I hope in the future, I will have the opportunities to work and create pieces like these and even come up with better inspiration. I would appreciate comments, questions, and concerns. Thank you in advanced.

The Importance of protecting Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property is very important to protect. The term "Intellectual Property" is another term for copyright, trademark, or a patent. Your Intellectual Property is what lets the world know that you are the first to design the product. Nobody else can create it because you have put your stamp on it. This is crucial for any designer in any type of design. You do not want clients or firms to steal your creative idea. This would cause major problems and if you want to take it to the court system, it will be a major hassle. It would even take days, months, even years to finalize. When all the work is done though, all the hard work will be in vain because you still lose the argument. The point is to put your stamp on it before somebody steals it. When ever you have something being published, remember you have to protect your intellectual property for your product.  That should be your number one objective, placing your stamp on your work.

Australia Travel Poster

This is my Australia travel that I created in photoshop for a project. I have gotten better day by day in my class. I really enjoy doing projects like this. These type of projects really test my creative and so far I have been coming up with great designs. I try to think outside the box and never jump on the first  conclusion I come up with. I would appreciate any comments, questions, concerns. 

Photoshop

All this week I have been working in photoshop. I am still learning from tutorials. Everyday this week, I have gotten better and it is a step closer to my career. These are some of the images I have edited this week. I like photoshop and plan to continue using photoshop through out my road to my career.

Are you logo??

This is my logo that I have made if I had a business. I made this in Adobe illustrator today. I am becoming more comfortable with Adobe illustrator. I'm getting better day by day. Tell me what you think about it. Give me some feedback.

Learning illustrator

Today in class, I am learning the basis of illustrator. It was a little confusing on how things work, but thanks to the tutorials and my professor, I have become familiar with the program. I still have a ways to go before I can master it, but I am coming along well. I'm learning how to draw in the process and how to let my sentences flow on a curve. I have also learned how to make the words "Big Fish" shape into a big fish.  It is cool when you get the hang of it. Illustrator is fun and I would advise everybody that I will come in contact with to try it out. Even if you are not going to become a designer, you should still check it out.

Making A Website

I have learned how to create a website and I have one up and running. It is amazing to be learning how to make a website. Years of wondering how and the amazement of how to even start one has finally crossed my path. When you make a website, you are letting your own unique voice speak out and reach everybody that is interested in listening to your voice. How creative it is, the colors of the page, the font, etc. is your own unique voice being put out on the internet. It's is time consuming, but in the end it is all worth it and if you did a really good website, you will appreciate the time you put into it. Here is my website I have made and I would like you to tell me what you like about it, what I can tweak on it so it can be better, tell me to keep it up, or go a different approach. I will appreciate your feedback. This is my first website.

How can a wiki be benficial to my career

A wiki is a web application that allows anyone visiting a website to edit content on it. Anyone with an account and has the permission to edit the wiki page can change any text that is on it no matter how long the other user has spent time on it. Another way is to tweak what somebody has said to make more clear to the world wide web. A wiki would have a major impact and will benefit my career. I will post my ideas on the wiki page or I can post my design as image on the page. Other users that I have allowed to edit my wiki would edit my ideas or tell me what I should do to fix my design. It would give me connections to my fans and create something that they would like to see. No matter how simply it is, It can still be interesting enough to make a big hit. All the critics think that your creation has to be outstanding and it doesnt have to be.

How can a podcast be beneficial to my career

Podcasting is an online audio content that is delivered via an RSS feed. You can use podcasting as self-guided walking tours. Podcasting can also be used for music, and talk shows such as sportscasting, news coverage, etc. For my career, podcasting becomes useful and effective. I can create a real creative design and make a video and post it on the internet and get feed back. It can provide me with the information to either create better design or to keep coming with that certain type of style. In addition to using podcasting, I can talk about how I have an idea and tell the world (by recording audio) that it will becoming out at a certain or date. I can have people anticipate on my next work of design without sending letters or message to me about when the next time I coming out with a new design. With podcasting I have a plethora of opportunity's to get noticed by the right group of people, and if I do get noticed by the right group people, I will have opportunity's to have a great and successful jobs.

First Day in Photoshop

This is my second day in Graphic Design. I'm having a great time in this course. Today we learned about photoshop. This is what I worked on today in photoshop. If u have any problem with your picture you should upload it to photoshop, and I will be able to fix it. Everybody should learn how to use photoshop because you can do things like this on your computer.

Why I chose Graphic Design

This is my first blog ever. I would appreciate comments at any time. I attend Keiser University I am majoring in Graphic Design. The reason I have decided to study this course is because I love coming up with creative ideas. I am not an artist, but i do have the images in my head of how I want my design to be. i am no major idealistic person at all, but I do have creative ideas every now and then.  I am learning how to be more creative, no matter how abstract they are. I have taken this course to also get me started on the right path to Video Gaming. I will play games all day, so why not learn how to create them. I like seeing other peoples creative ideas and styles. In video games it is interest seeing how defined games have become.
