Final Portfolio

 

Final Portfolio:



Artist Statement:

    To craft my Final Portfolio in InDesign, I began by sketching the cover, index, and all 10 assignment pages, along with a back cover. My goal was to achieve a clean, professional, and engaging layout. I selected a harmonious color scheme using Adobe Color and picked two fonts—one for headings and one for body text—to complement my theme.

Using InDesign, I set up a 13-page document sized at 8.5 x 11 inches with a bleed of 0.125 inches. I organized my design into layers for text, logo, page numbers, and background. Throughout the process, I utilized various tools such as the type tool, line tool, rectangle frame tool, and shape tools. I adjusted stroke patterns and fill colors using the dropper tool and properties tab to match my chosen color scheme.

Starting with the cover, index, and about me pages, I aimed to provide a comprehensive introduction and overview of my semester projects. I ensured my artist statement was included on each assignment page, using fun textboxes with contrasting stroke patterns and colors against the page background.

My previous experience with the Postcard and Business Card assignments in InDesign greatly influenced the creation of a professional and visually appealing layout for my final portfolio.

     Upon preforming extensive web-based research, I have come to the conclusion that the internet can be defined as a global network of interconnected computer networks that allows for the exchange of information and enables communication. Th internet enables the sharing of data, resources, and services across geographical boundaries. Furthermore, it has become an integral part of modern life, impacting various aspects such as communication, education, business, entertainment, and more. The internet was founded on October 29, 1969, when computers at Stanford and UCLA connected for the first time, becoming the first hosts on what would eventually become the internet. Additionally, the original Arpanet network was established between Harvard, MIT, and BBN in 1970. The Internet was primarily used for military and academic purposes, such as communicating messages and research. Furthermore, as it has evolved, the internet has become more accessible to the general public, lead...

     After viewing the documentary based upon the art of Platon's photography, portraits in particular, I feel as if I have gained knowledge on the importance of emotion behind photography as well. Platon explains how his portraits and what is captured is dependent on both his and his subject mood and state of mind in that brief moment when the photo is captured. Platon is specifically known for his portraits of famous world leaders, often featured as the cover of Time Magazine. These portraits allow for the subjects to express the emotions surrounding power and therefore send a message to the Time Magazine's American viewers.     Once I had reached the end of this documentary episode by "Abstract: The Art of Design", I followed the next link in the assignment in order to view "The People's Portfolio". As I looked through the images presented in the different folders on this webpage, I felt emotion connected with each. One photo in particular, however,...

Id Homework 1

VIDEO 1 :    This video provided a brief overview of the basic functions of Adobe InDesign. The video starts by the narrator reassuring the viewer that if they are familiar with both Illustrator and PhotoShop, that this program's tools will be relatively familiar and easy to operate. Next, the creator explains both the "selection" and "direct selection" tools, which I feel will be easy to operate as they are very to similar to that of the selection tools in Adobe Illustrator. Additionally, he reviews both the "type" tool and "type on path" tool, which we became familiar with in Adobe illustrator while creating both the Calligram and Poster projects. Lastly, the narrator reviews the multidimensionality of the "pen" tool which we once again used quite a bit in Illustrator. Overall, I believe InDesign will be fairly simple to become proficient in, as I have already mastered many of the tools it shares in similarly to Adobe Illustrator ...
