New Versions

Thanks everyone for your comments! I've played with the colors on the first option a little more while still trying to keep the girly feel.

Didn't have much time to work on the Money version, I would like to be able to make it feel old, but I'm not sure how to get there.

I also created a 3rd design (which is my favorite). I took the tools taught in our last class, but wanted to make the words look like building or something tall/high that you would try to reach.  ((for some reason this one jpeg won't upload, guess i'll show you in class)

Assignment #3- How I'm Feeling

I'm still having a hard time putting my ideas on paper. I want to continue to try to work on the computer, since I would like to develop those skills, but it is frustrating when the programs do not do what you want/expect them to do.

Here are the first two I've gotten close to finished. Plan to continue working on these tonight, or try to completely start over. Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Assignment #2- 10 Visual Representations for 10 New York Times Articles

For some reason I'm not able to upload images to my blog right now, but the visuals from last nights Assignment #2 will be up at some point today...


For the next assignment, I'm really going to focus on improving my typography. Not only because it is a typography based assignment, but also because that is where I am obviously struggling the most. I hope (someday) I have time to redo some of these previous assignments because I find them both interesting and challenging.

Assignment #2

I'm getting very frustrated trying to get my ideas out for this assignment. It's made me realize how much more I have to learn within the Adobe Programs... Here is some beginning pieces

Some swipe... more to come

Assignment #1

Since missing the first class, I didn't completely understand the assignment as it was intended, but this is what I had for assignment #1. I used the same topic for all 3, and tried to execute in 3 very different styles. Will probably explore these more this week with the feedback from last night. Will definitely be removing the body copy and creating feature spreads (which part of the assignment I was mixed up on).
