Updated Projects.

I decided that I wanted to update my infograph project. I liked that way that my original one turned out but I still wanted to change it up. I went with a really simple design. I used red,white and blue bars to represent the US and their average yearly users. For my bars I used bright colors to represent me. I still used the symbols for the different social networks. Im happy with this design because I think it is simple and user friendly. 

End of semester.

What do you feel that you personally learned from the course?
I feel that I have learned a lot more about the finalizing of design in this course. I've learned that even after you reach a final product, its possible to still further your design to make it better. I feel like many of the skills that I had previously were strengthened throughout the semester. 

What new knowledge or skills do you feel proudest about?
I feel proudest about some of the new knowledge in illustrator and photoshop that i've learned this year. I feel like they are tools that i will use in the future. 

How do you think you have improved?
I think that some of my design skills have improved. I feel like I can look at things from different angles. 

What did you work on in class that you are most interested in pursuing on your own?
I think I would be most interested in pursuing the PSA posters. I think I would like to extend my design and use redo the handwritten type on it. 

Zine Update.

I've made a basic layout of my zine so far with text included.
I'm now on the hunt for diagrams to possibly include and pictures to trace and then add to my pages. I'm liking the progress of my zine so far.

Zine Topic

My topic for my zine is...
How To Know If You're Dating A Vampire.

Im wanting to get pictures from some of the vampire shows/books that I know of and then make them into a cartoonish style. I also like the style of the True Blood posters. I like the whittyness of them.

Finalish.

Here's my infograph. I'll most likely change things around again. For the most part I like the outcome of it. I think it's really similar to the World of 100 infographs that were the base of my idea. 

Infographics One.

 Here is my first draft of my social network infographic. I followed the design idea from the World of 100 infographics. The United States represents the average number of users. The glasses represent my number of daily uses.

This flicker person has some really awesome pieces.
