CSS and CARP design

For this project, we got to transform a plain and boring poem into a decorative and colorful one. This assignment started off with the simple poem. It was a white background with black txt in the default font. Then we gave it a background color and started changing the type. We bolded and italicized, changed the color, font, and size. In the end, everything really came together. 

Contrast

At first, there wasn't a lot of contrast in the poem design. When we changed it though, we added lots of contrast. We made the background color light tan and used a dark tan for the text color. Behind the light tan, there was black which contrasted well.

 

Alignment 

We didn't really need to change the alignment much. All we did was center Heading 1 and Heading 2. The rest of it stayed left aligned. The alignment looked very clean cut and everything went well together.

Repetition

There was a decent amount of repetition in this assignment. The dark tan text color repeated four different times. The font stayed the same pretty much throughout the whole assignment. The repetition made it all look finished and final.

Proximity

The proximity, or grouping, of this assignment was very obvious. Header 1 was bigger then Header 2 and Header 2 was bigger then the body. You can clearly tell what gets grouped with what. The paragraphs are even separated enough to tell what goes together. 

My Personality Type

My Myers-Briggs personality is ESFP. This means that I am a very outgoing person who acts on what I feel is right, rather then thinking. I work well in groups and like to make things happen. I am flexible and can deal well with change. A famous person who shares my personality type is Marilyn Monroe. 

I can confidently say that the description of a ESFP fits me perfectly. When it says that I am "outgoing, friendly an accepting", it's spot on. I go out go my way to make people feel included and I make friends easily. It also says that I focus on facts and details rather than ideas and concepts. This isn't always true. I don't always just go off of what's proven. I search for new ideas and ways to make something better. My personally type helps me to understand how to work better with myself and others.

My personality type is the kind of person who will always be there to make you laugh. This is very important on a team because sometimes it's ok to have fun and ESFPs lighten the mood. I am the jokester in my family, not really focusing on one the in specific, but multiple things. I am the main source of laughter in my family and I can always cheer someone up. Sometimes people don't like me because I am pretty energetic and happy and they don't like that. I work well with nearly everyone except of people more outgoing then I am. when people are more outgoing then me, we can't work very well together because we both talk a lot, and we continually try to talk over each other and don't listen to each other.

Throughout this assignment, I learned more about myself. I always knew that I was happy and outgoing person but I learned that I go with my gut rather then thinking about it. I focus on facts rather then ideas, which I never would have known if I hadn't taken the quiz. I learned a lot about myself.  

My LOBG personality type was an otter. I am a very outgoing and talkative person and that's what the otter was. They are the people who keep the group talking and working together. I definitely believe that this is me because I always break the ice in a group.

Logo Design

In Ecomm, we have been working on designing logos. These logos were supposed to be designed specifically for ourselves. We started off by sketching put possible designs. This took roughly two days. Once we found our best design, we moved on to making them on illustrator. We worked with different fonts and shapes to get the look we wanted.

Once we decided on a black and white design, we moved on to color. I went with a cool color scheme, I stuck mainly to blues and a green. The color deciding process only took about one class period.

After the color deciding process, we moved on to mock ups. Mock ups are when we put our logo on different itms such as, t-shirts, signs, and even vans. This process took about a day. We had to do a lot of sizing and centering to make everything look good. In the end, I slightly changed up my design and it looked really well on the mock ups.

CARP poster

Contrast

In this project, I used lots of contrast in size."The Wizard of OZ" was the biggest size because it's the title and the most important part of the poster. "Olathe Northwest Theatre Presents" and "7 PM November 20-22" both were medium sizes because the date and time are the next most important parts of the poster.  "$8 Ticket" was a size down from the date and time. The copyright was in the fine print at the bottom because most people coming to see the show don't care all that much about who it was originally produced by.

Alignment 

For the whole poster I used center alignment. In the case of this poster, it was necessary and made it look more put together and like I knew what I was doing. Center alignment makes everything line up and really look professional.

Repetition 

On the poster I use a lot of repetition. The whole thing was the same font. The font repetition really gives it all a finished and professional look. Only the title was a little different because I tilted it so it lined up with the yellow brick background. The other text was all the exact same.

Proximity

I used size differences to show the use of proximity. You could easily tell what the most important things were and what was grouped with what by the sizing. The sizing clearly showed that the title was its own separate thing, the date and time were their own separate things, the contact info was separate, and all the copyright information is at the bottom in the smallest font.

Typography Project

About The Project

Over the past two days in E9 we learned about typefaces, and all the important parts of them. Our project was to write out our name in a serif font and then label the parts of it. We started out with tying our names then making the three lines that the text lines up with. The base line, in which the letters sit on, the X-height, where the top of the lower case letters hit, and the Caps-height, where the top of the capital letters hit. We then started labeling what particular parts of the text were called. For example, the inner part of the A is called a counter, and the thin parts of a letter are called the hairline.

What I learned

Throughout this project and lesson, I learned a lot. Firstly, that Comic Sans is the most hated font because of its overuse. This font was designed for comic books or children's books, as it is a fun childish font, not everyday uses like bathroom or warning signs. I also learned that the typeface conveys a lot of meaning. The same words typed in a different font will be interpreted way differently. For example, if you wrote the words "you're mine" in a curly and pretty font, then it would be conveyed as love. But, if you wrote "you're mine" in a font that looks like something from a horror movie, well that will be interpreted way differently. 

Color Wheel

Project Overview:

For this project, we were tasked to make a color wheel on Adobe Illustrator. First we made the circle in which everything lined up on. Next we made the primary color circles. Then we made the secondary color squares, and lastly the tertiary color triangles. Next I had to make the transparent triangles that connected the primary and secondary colors together.

What I Learned:

I learned a lot throughout this project on how to use Illustrator. We had to learn little shortcuts in order to make the project run smoothly. I also learned that being quiet and focusing works a lot better on getting projects done then being my typical loud, talkative, self

How I Did:

I did really well on this project, I didn't have any problems and asked for help when I had a question. I won't do anything differently on the next project because I had no problems and worked timely and efficiently.

Color Schemes of Logos
