COMD 1112: Digital Media Foundations
Project: Make the Visual Quote you pick stand out on Adobe illustrator
Project: This illustration was based on the visual quote project I worked on in Digital Media Foundations Course. She wanted me to pick a quote and then once I have that quote, I have to go to adobe illustrator and make the quote look unique and make it stand out. This is Concept 1 that I did on Adobe illustrator. For Concept 1, 
I focused more on the type and the illustration. I used futura as a typeface because the professor mentioned using any san-serif typeface instead of Helvetica. Futura is a good typeface for me because it makes the word clear and readable. The Bold Futura for the word fail in red really stands out. 
I picked the color red for fail because it fits clear with the black ground. Also, the color red could be a bad thing or a negative as an example. Fail is a negative word, so I put red that affects it. That’s what my eye is looking at first. I like how the word fail is like that covered with the red rectangle because it kinda reminds me of a stamp or as an ink stamp. 
I remember when my dad had an ink stamp that had his name and placed it and pushed it to the envelope before mailing it. That’s why I said that. The green volume icon really connects to “Music Speaks” really well because it actually sounds like the music is actually playing with any volume level. I picked light green for the volume icon because green reminds me that the volume is on. 
Whenever it’s on, it develops power. That’s why I choose green. I also used alignment when I put the title of the person saying the quote that aligns with the volume icon to show that it is organized. For “Where Words”. I picked white since it’s a black background and it’s very easy to read. So, as “Music Speaks”.

Project: Make the Visual Quote you pick stand out on Adobe illustrator

This is Concept 2 that I did on Adobe illustrator. 

For Concept 2, I decided to do the quote in a different direction. The background color that I put is light blue. It has a cool tone and it’s bright. As you can see, I put “Where Words” on top with a black color. It makes it clear to see the wording with that color. It also shows size, which shows hierarchy. 

For the word Fail, I put it in all caps. The color I put for the typography is white. I also put fail behind the red rectangle and the skinny white rectangle in the middle of the red rectangle to make it as a sticker. It represents failure based on the color red and the word itself.

 For music, I had icon there before, but I decided to leave music there, that way the viewers can see the word more clear. The color is black. I put black because it connects to the light blue background that shows it’s readable. 

Same with “Where Words” and “Speaks”. For the words Speaks, I draw a face as a silhouette with three lines from up, straight and down and put the speaker there to show that the person is speaking. Music and fail shows a small hierarchy. 

For speaks and where words show a big hierarchy. I put different sizes with different words to let the viewers see where they point at first.  For the person that wrote this quote, I used alignment that connects with the three lines of the person’s mouth.

Description: I wanted to create a logo at my house as a practice to show what I can do in the communication design major and also as a graphic designer. So, the first step I took was to take a picture of my face and drag it to Adobe illustrator. The next step is that I trace the whole entire face (The ears, the eyes, the head, the hat, the facials). Then, after that I started to use color to stand out. Then finally I used the shape tool to put it behind my face.

Description: The professor wanted me to make a poster of anything that interests me. So, one of my interests I told him was music and I wanted to do a poster on music and find a quote that represents music. So, I found a photo of myself having Beats headphones on. Then I tracked it and made a silhouette. The next step was that I wanted to find words of the different types of music and put it as the background of the gray color. FInally I found the quote called “Music is the soundtrack of my life” and I made the quote more designable and made it pop and stand out.

Project: Stamp Template

Description: The professor wanted me to make the drawings more graphic and put all of the 4 drawings in stamp form. First, I need to have a background, so I picked light blue because it’s very light and people can see the stamps clearly with that background. Second, I crop the drawings I have and make them rectangle sized. Finally I made a stamp template and each stamp has it’s same color as the drawings. This assignment is based on a campaign to help the environment.

Lastly, I put a body copy of the name of the transportation and also steps of how to use it.
