North Fremont Huskies vs. West Jefferson Panthers

On Tuesday night the North Fremont Huskies would take on the West Jefferson Panthers at home. The Panthers would get the best of the Huskies however the Huskies wouldn’t back down making the third set very competitive, losing however 25-20.

The first set of the match was very back and forth, the Huskies at the start of the set took a bit of a lead 8-3, however the Panthers got on a little run taking the lead 11-10, and forcing the Huskies to take their first timeout.

As the set nears an end the Huskies were having trouble getting the ball over the net, while the Panthers are putting themselves in a good position to take the set the score 21-18. A bad serve from the Huskies would end the set 25-19. The Huskies let up towards the end at couldn’t make it back from a run put on by the Panthers.

The second set has the Panthers still controlling the game and the Huskie coach is forced to burn a timeout. The score 7-4, hoping to grab momentum back Saylor Jeppesen hit an impressive spike to the other side of the court within the lines.

Currently on a huge run the Panthers have nearly completed their second set win. They would go onto win another set off a bad serve from the Huskies. The Huskies will need a lot of quick changes to overcome this 2-0 deficit. The Panthers ended the second set on an 18-7 run.

The Huskies need to get off to a quick start or this will be the final set of the match. Kylie Anderson of the Huskies made a great diving hit that found a hole in the defense of the Panthers making the score tied at 10. The next rally would also be with the Huskies forcing the Panther coach to take a timeout.

Corrections

I spent about 2 hours and 45 minutes doing these corrections.

 

Magazine Project:

I first changed my title font from Impact, to Bondi 72 oldstyle. By changing that font, I was able to make it contrast with my Arial font a lot better. The next thing I did was I changed the font size so that they were all in good symmetry. I then eliminated all widows as well as all hyphens. The last thing I did was moved my image down a bit and also I made the barcode smaller. I spent about 40 minutes on this assignment. The original picture is on the left and the new one is one the right.

 

 

 

Prezi:

This one took a bit longer about 25 minutes editing my Prezi. I changed the fonts of my titles to be a little bigger and to contrast the body font. I also made sure the body text was not centered. I also got rid of hyphens and orphans. I changed the colors to what I think would look best on the field. I spent about 35 minutes on this assignment.

Photoshop:

The first thing I changed was the fonts. I feel like I did a better job at making the fonts more contrasted. I also make the vibrance and the saturation of the picture different so that the picture’s color would still be bright but not as over powering. I spent about 50 minutes on this assignment because there was so many choices for filters and then the overlay.The original picture is on the left and the new one is on the right.

 

      

Montage:

For the montage this one took long, it was hard to figure out which layer was good. I figured it out though and I also added an overlay. The overlay was sand which turned out to be good. I only had one filter in the first project but I changed it to where now there are to and they complement each other more. I spent about 40 minutes on this project.

 

Brochure

DESCRIPTION
Design a brochure for a restaurant

PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)
1. I first created the logo in Illustrator.
2. Then I went into InDesign and started to design my brochure. I wrote my body copy and added the body copy so I knew how I want it to fit.
3. I saved the images as Photoshop documents so when I was in InDesign I could edit the original and it would open in Photoshop. Then I could edit the coloring, etc and it would automatically update the link in InDesign.
4. I then exported the brochure document as JPEGS.
5. I then went back and put all my text in the project, and aligned then how I thought it would look best.

CRITIQUE PROCESS
I met with Sam and Orion they are oth in the same class. They were really helpful in the suggestions they gave. I originally had an image of an apron from teh internet but hey advised me that  I s hould design it myself.  Sam helped me to realize some placement of the text could be switched up. I made those changes and it was very helpful for the final product. I also got great help from the tutor and I feel good about this project.

DESCRIPTION
Design a website homepage using a grid.

PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)
1. I first picked an idea of what I was going to use for the basis of my website.
2. I changed from my business logo I just feel it didn’t show enough effort.
3. I then started sketching an idea of how I wanted to lay it out. I knew I wanted some images of cats at the beginning to grab viewers’ attention and be easy to navigate.
4. After I sketched it on paper, I then jumped into Photoshop and opened the 16-column grid. I started to create my wireframe to get me started.
5. I then designed it in photoshop, and it was hard but I like what I ended up having.

 

 

 

CRITIQUE PROCESS
I got help from a couple people, Sam as usual but also my friend Orion and then the tutors. I think the biggest thing I always struggle with is the typography, the tutor helped me shape it though so I think it is good. then also I got help with my colors as usual.

DESCRIPTION
Create an infographic that organizes data in a visually pleasing way.

PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)
1. I started brainstorming some topics and ended up with the idea of the seasons.
2. I did some research to find some data and found a study where Americans were asked what their favorite season was.
3. I drew out what  i thought was a good idea.
4. I then sketched out some graphics that I knew I wanted to include in the infographic.
5. Next I opened up Illustrator and started on my Infographic.
6. I figured a circular graph wasn’t the best and I went for more of a horizontal look.

CRITIQUE PROCESS
I met with Sam and hanna for my critique. I also had a tutor look over my project.  They were really helpful in the suggestions they gave. Sam helped me make sure that all the requirements were met. Since Facebook and the professor are not an option this week i also had the tutor look over to help. Hanna made sure I selected the correct colors. . They had some other minor suggestions like changing the title to make better sense.

DESCRIPTION
Design a spiritual poster montage using the blend of images and type.

PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)
I had an idea of the montage I wanted to create to start out with. I wanted to create a montage that brought spirituality with sports. Here is the process I followed:
1. In Photoshop I combined all the various pictures I used to create the montage effect. I used a variety of layer masks and the brush tool to create the gradual blended effect.
2. I then found a quote by President Uchtdorf that I liked and added the text on the image.
3. I made sure to abide by the design principles such as alignment, repetition, and typography.

CRITIQUE PROCESS
I met with Hanna Lee, she gave me good insights bout my design. I think when I showed her my design it was good however she advised that I change my font in the text and also using capital letters would help the text have more life. Also I used to have a star in the middle but she said to make the images bigger rather then add more.
