Resume

By working on and creating a resume in InDesign and I continued to learn and grow. I became more familiar and comfortable working on InDesign and enjoyed exploring options and different techniques. It also forced me to write out my skills as a designer and find out what I have to offer. It was good practice for the future and very educating.

Here is a logo I created to use on various projects, resumes, letters, etc. I used tools on InDesign as well as Photoshop to create my logo. I wanted the logo to reflect my personality and taste. I used a bright orange and blue that I felt was more laid back and fun. I added the peace sign to represent free spirit and kindness. I am pleased with the final project and feel it's a good representation on myself and my taste.

Here is a project to work on photoshop along with learn a bit about my heritage. I started by reseaching my Irish heritage and found out a lot of important symbols the Irish cherish. I tokk the clover and then layed the Irish flag of top. By changing the opacity, one can see the clovers underneathe the flag. I also used a circle which symbolizes eternity. I altered the cirle with carious tools in photoshop to make it more interesting to look at. The Claddagh within the cirle represents love, loyalty, and friendship. I used the magic wand to cut out the shape and then altered it and changed the size so it could fit within the cirle.

Here is a project I worked on to further my understanding and skills in photoshop. I started with a template, a quilt pattern if you will, and then spiced it up a bit. I took numerous esthetically pleasing photos of nature and then altered them with various tools just as blur, distort, and texture. My goal was to completely change the visual aspect of the photo. I was more focused on using bright colors to liven up the template. Once I altered the photo's to my liking, I shaped them so they fit into the different sections of the template.
