Final Portfolio - Proficiency InDesign

I chose the Indie poster for my Proficiency in InDesign because it was my best work. While it's simple and to the point, I think that it makes a statement. I really like the violin head, made from the clipping path. I also loveee the overlapping words as the title. I took a lot of suggestions that we made in class and applied them to this piece. I think that it is one of the best projects I have done all year and I could not be happier with it!

Final Portfolio - Creative Concept

I chose my Batman Convention poster as my creative concept piece because it was one of the only projects all year that fully allowed me to design something at my own will. I wrote the copy, designed the car and logo, and found a way to piece it all together without any restrictions or limits. I think that if I had spent more time on the layout, I would have liked it better, but I am pleased with the overall turnout of the Ride Poster. I love my Batmobile!

Final Portfolio - Typography / Typesetting

I chose the Indie poster for my typography/typesetting portfolio insert because I really liked this poster. Of all of the InDesign projects I have done, this was by far my favorite. I really liked how I fit in the words "Wanted", "Indie", and "Violin." I loved the overlap of the words and how they made the poster work. I really enjoyed working on this piece!

Final Portfolio - Design

I chose to use the Marceline pamphlet at my design choice because I feel that this was one of my better marker comps. I spend a lot of time on this comp and think that it turned out pretty well. I wish that I had used more color in the design, but, overall, I was pleased with it. The product came out almost exactly as I had planned it! Woo!

Final Portfolio - Traditional Copyfitting

It took me HOURS upon HOURS to figure out the copy-fitting on this project. I was stressed out beyond believe and swore that I was going to quit and just forget about everything. In the end, I would thoroughly pleased with how the copy fit. It looked great on the page and was very presentable. I just wish copy fitting wasn't such a pain!

Final Portfolio - Marker Comp.

I chose this marker comp. because it was the most outstanding of the marker comps I have completed. I put a lot of thought into the design and was fairly pleased with the outcome of it. Again, I wish I would have taken more time to think about the design (what I could add, more color, layout ideas, etc). I wish that the piece had more color because right now, it is very bleak. I will be sure to take advantage of the color privilege next time around.

Final Portfolio - Thumbnails

I chose these thumbnails because they were the most fun to do. While it was hard to come up with FIFTEEN different design concepts, I liked the overall product. One weakness that I found in working on my thumbnails is that I always put them off until the very last minute, which does not help get the creative juices flowing. I feel that if I would have allowed myself more time to work on these sketches, I would have been much happier with the overall product.
