Bushnell Final Project

Here are the final projects I created to include in my powerpoint presentation. I was unable to attach the powerpoint to my blog or to my post in module 6 on Angel, I emailed it to Professor Dorsey in hopes that she will have better luck attaching it to my post in module 6. If this doesn't work out I will post the slides on here as pictures for you to view.

Project Description: I created a powerpoint presentation to display my work as a graphic design artist.

Target Audience: My target audience is future employers and future customers/clients.

Software used: To create my designs I used Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. I used both Microsoft Powerpoint and Adobe Photoshop to create my final presentation.

In my designs I make sure I state when I have borrowed an item such as a photo or a font to create a design.

Here are my slides starting with my cover page:

Bushnell Preliminary 2

Last week I posted slideshow pages of my previous work. This week I have posted 2 new designs that will also be in the slideshow presentation.

The first design is a Save-the-Date card. The picture I used is a few years old and a long time ago I put it on my iphone and changed it a little with an app I had. I used this image for the Save-the Date but first I cleaned it up a little in photoshop. The app on my phone made a lot of dark spots in the image, like under my eyes. I lightened these areas, removed the necklace I was wearing and added a border. I brought this image into illustrator and began to add the text. I created a new graphic style by adding fill colors with different effects and textures. I also created a textured background.

The second design is a wedding invitation. I am not completely happy with this one yet. I want to add more branches to make it longer and curve around the corners and maybe rearrange some things. To create the branches I used the pen tool. I created my own brush to make the branches thin out at the ends. I used the pen tool to create a leaf and saved it as a symbol so I could easily add more leaves. I also used the spiral tool and the twirl tool. I used the same textured background as the Save-the-Date, but I changed the color.

I plan on creating a Response card and a Thank You card that match the invitation.

Bushnell Preliminary 1

I started putting all my work into a powerpoint presentation. I saved each slide as a picture and uploaded them here. So far i have included a logo, a poster and a post card. I plan on adding a 3rd slide for each design to explain more about it.
The last image is one I plan on using to create a save-the-date card.
