Graphics Term 1
What you are looking at is the ad i made for McLaren. I decided to do this ad because i have always been into cars and i have loved the way McLaren was designed. I saw the car and the brand name and cut them out. I needed to incorporate color and line and once i found the circles surrounding the car i knew i found the color aspect as well as the car being orange. I decided to include the phrase "Make Heads Turn" i used this because i thought it would make sense with the circle and i also thought that when you would drive by, everyone would turn their heads and look at the car. The elements and principles used in this ad was line, color, shape, emphasis, balance, and texture. During the making of this ad i learned how hard it was to actually make an ad. But in the end everything came out well and I'm proud of my work.
In this flyer i created, i decided to make a haunted house flyer. I used a template on Microsoft Publisher and went on from there. I used word art to make the title and filled it with the color black and outlined it in red. Behind it i put an image of a scratch mark in favor of Halloween. I then put all the information to the haunted house such as The address, the dates its open, the time its open until, and the price per person. After typing that i put a nice slogan to get the attention of viewers. I then added a few images to give it the Halloween feel.
In this flyer i made i chose to do a costume party. The layout for this one is horizontal and i put the title with word art in the chiller font. I filled the inside with black and outlined it in red. I then gave all the information to the party like the date, a reminder that you must wear a costume, the address, and a cost. I then put a few pictures of different costumes. Finally i added a black and white background to the paper.

For this flyer i was required to make a black and white one. I went with a haunted hayride concept for this. The word art i chose was in black and white and i made it look wavy. Then i gave some information about where it is and the times its open until. then I added a few images in black and white before adding a black and white background to fill in the blank spaces.

In this brochure, i decided to make it about a skate shop that i own. I started with the cover page and used a variety of companies that my shop sells. I then told the customer what my shop has to offer and what we sell. Then for the back page i gave all the info to the shop and told the viewer a deal you can get in the shop.

On this side of the Brochure i said what the skate supplies area and how we got them. Then i described what clothing we have to offer. The final part is a description of me, the owner of the shop as well as a picture of me. For the picture of me i added a filter then removed the top half of it with the history tool. In the description i said stated the stuff about my past and why i wanted to open a shop. I also said what sponsors i have.

For this assignment we were told to make a greeting card/birthday card, we were asked to choose 1 celebrity and make this card from them. I chose Kanye West to do my card on. The image i did is on the front of the card, this is the image i edited. The first edit i made to this image is i turned it into gray scale which changed the picture entirely then i put it back to a RGB. I then used the history tool to undo the gray on His shirt skin and hat and make it colorful. after finishing that i added a filter to the photo. After adding a filter to the photo i then raised the contrast to make it brighter. The rest of this card was just pictures i cropped from google and added some color too. I also used Word Art to make some of the words pop. I decided to make the rest of the things relate to Kanye. The shoes are made by him and he has a collaboration with Adidas. The Kanye West faces inside the card were made too look like balloons to add a little humor to the card.
For this project we went on a field trip to Thayer Street in Providence, RI and we were assigned groups. Those groups were then assigned a topic that we were supposed to take pictures of places relating that topic and make a brochure for it. My group was assigned cafes, and i made this brochure for it. The cover of the brochure i edited the titles in Photoshop and added a design to them. The picture i had on my cover is a picture of the Thayer street sign that i edited in Photoshop. I turned the picture into a gray scale and then back to an RGB. I used the history tool to color the signs and the pole and left everything else gray. The back is a map of Thayer street that has all the pin points of shops. The next side is a small description on the cafes on Thayer street. Then there is a picture of a coffee in a cup from starbucks one of the cafes there. I turned this image to a gray scale then back to a RGB and used the history tool to color the green. then i cropped the sides and tops out to get rid of any extra space in the photo. The other side are 3 different cafes on Thayer street. The first cafe i used was Andreas. Fort the image i used i added a filter onto the photo then used the history tool to take away some of the filter on the blue banners. After doing this i raised the brightness up and cropped the photo. I then used a word art and then edited it so i could add color to the boring text. After editing that i put down some needed info for the cafe like the phone number, address, website, and a brief description. The next cafe i did was Starbucks, first i edited the word art adding some green to the name then putting on a filter. For the image i added a filter and then cropped out all the extra space in the photo. I also raised the brightness on it while editing because i realized it was too dark. I also did the same thing i did to the first one by adding all the info needed and a small description of the cafe. the final cafe was Blue State Coffee. I added some blue dots to the word art to make it pop a little more than it should. For the image i turned it into a gray scale then back to an RGB. I then history tooled the blue railings and the blue chairs to make those blue and the rest of the image gray. i then cropped all the extra space in the image. I then added all the info needed for the cafe.
