Project: Finding a Black and White Photograph for a final cover of the booklet

Description: After finishing up the Booklet for Project 1 with different exercises, the professor wanted me to DO one more assignment which is find a cover image that will be useful for my book cover before it's finalized.

She wanted the cover image to be Black and White. No color. So, I decided to do photography of trains.

Taking a photograph of a train station is an idea that I have for my cover because when everyone goes through my book and there's a photograph of a station or a train, going through each page is like going on a adventure or going to the end of your destination.

Project: Using a visual quote that can be used in a photograph

Description: This is the work I did on Adobe illustrator.

The professor mentioned using a photograph and type for the third design for my postcard.

So, I wanted to do some research that refers to the quote, but then I realized that I have a picture in my gallery that shows music. So, I went to my gallery on my computer and there’s two pictures of me that show music.

I said to myself what am I going to choose. I said to choose the 2nd one and place it on illustrator and move it around to the center and make sure it fits with the size of the postcard.

After I sized it well, I decided to put it in this photograph. The typeface that I used in this is Futura. I said to myself that I don’t know where to type the quote at, since there’s not a lot of room.

So, I just break the quote in half and put half on one side and the other half on the other side, which makes it easier. Also with the same size hierarchy.

For the person that wrote this quote, which is Hans Christian Andersen, the color of the typeface is white. But, I put it down, since there’s not that much attention in that, also I made the size a little smaller, that way it would focus more on the quote only.

For When words fail, I put the type white because I can see it and it’s part of the quote. I was planning to change into another color, but I don’t know if it’s going to be readable or not since the photograph is at night.

But the professor gave me a good idea. I decided to put a different color for two words from the quote. For Music Speaks, the color was white before in the second draft, but I put that in yellow because what I think is like a taxi cab in the background of the image.

It also Integrate the text with the image more. It also makes the photograph pop up.

Project: Describing what is going on in the artwork photo you took

Description: In this project, the professor wanted me to take a picture around New York City that has artwork. So, I took the subway to 59 Street and I saw this mural. The artist that did this mural was Sol LeWitt. She designed a mosaic on the stairway. She named the mural "Whirls and Twirls", which was made in 2009. I showed this mural to my professor and she said she is okay with it. So, I took a picture and she wanted me to describe what is going on in this mural and what are the different types of art elements you noticed.
