Branded Print Ad:Reflection

Image
 1.         I really enjoyed this project, however as much as i'm a supporter for my brand, i believe that my logo did not work well in the ad, i don't know if it was the italic font or if the logo was to complex which honestly breaks me because my whole goal with the logo was simplicity so maybe ill have to go back to the drawing board in terms of the logo. If i do keep the logo i might have to work on positioning and overall finding out what type of photos the logo does work in. Besides the font and the positioning another problem might be the color of the logo, when really analyzed the color of the logo could make a huge difference on the ad and its effectiveness, being able to perfectly execute color in my logo to the point where it complements the picture could honestly be a game changer and might be bale to change my opinion. Anyway without overthinking it i have to remember that my main goal is simplicity, i don't want to go above and beyond on a log...

Logo Development

25 PENCIL ROUGHS     Sketching rough drafts for my company’s logo in my notebook was a surprisingly rewarding part of the design process. There’s something about putting pen to paper that helps ideas come out more freely. Without the pressure of making everything perfect, I felt more comfortable playing around with different shapes, lettering styles, and concepts that could represent the brand. Some ideas came quickly—little sparks from thinking about what the company stands for—while others took more time to figure out. What I liked most about this stage was how flexible it felt. I could cross things out, circle parts I liked, or draw several versions of the same idea in a row. The notebook became a messy but useful space where creativity wasn’t limited. It also gave me the chance to think more deeply about what kind of message the logo should send—should it feel modern and bold, or simple and timeless?Even though these early sketches were rough, they helped lay the found...

Delete Content (Spot Healing Brush Tool) Before After For this picture I used the spot healing brush to remove the teammate out of the picture and also remove the badges on stefon diggs’s jersey. I did this in order to firstly truly make diggs the main attention grabber in the picture and also by removing the badges I brought true emphasis to his number on the jersey and the font of that number as well as the outline Add Objects (Clone Stamp Tool) Before   After I will admit that this is my worst one out of the three. When I first saw these mountains I wanted to build on them and overall just make them seem endless but the more I tried the more I realized that this tool is really hard to use and requires a lot of situational awareness, if you don’t know where your cursor is, you will mess up. With that being said I don’t think I executed this the way I would’ve liked but I was going for the idea of never ending mountains Remove Objects (Content Aware Tool) Before After This one too...

Diego Diaz Non Destructive Image Adjustments

Image
After using the adjustment layer options i would like to conclude that adjustment layers could be quite helpful when trying to build emphasis on something in the image. Non Destructive Image Adjustments can be defined as image adjustments that can be applied without altering the original pixel data. This can be useful to graphic designers because it allows them to use adjustments in order to grab the viewers full attention and overall it allows them to maintain flexibility through the creative process. In conclusion i can definantly see myself using non destructive image edits/ adjustment layers in future projects.

    When this project was firstly introduced i honestly thought it was going to be very hard but honestly i had a lot of fun making this. At first i was going to just leave it as a metal robot but i wanted to give it some human characteristics so i gave him shoes, something to hold, and even a jersey/shirt. I made the theme of this robot to represent my favorite NFL player of all time Stefon Diggs. he firstly played in Minnesota so i put a picture of him in Minnesota on his tv head. and honestly being a buffalo bills fan i was super hyped when we traded for him and although he may. not play for the bills anymore i still have respect for him and all. Anyway back to the project i think the hardest thing in the draft was constantly having to fine things top add because although 20 layers doesn't sound like a lot it most certainly is and i  don't think i reached 20 layers. When it was time to transition  into the final i was honestly amazed by how shadows work in this pr...

image resolution

 1. The difference between 300 ppi and 72 ppi is the clarity of the image. 300 ppi which stands for pixels per inch gives the image more pixels to work with which at the end lead to a higher resolution or clearer image. it was said in the lecture that a good ppi is 350 and provides a very clear image. To add on, it was also said that5 those small images with small ppi are used for things like thumbnails and covers and other things of that nature.  2. the difference between 72 ppi and 300m ppi is crucial for a graphic designer to know because it directly affects the quality, clarity and overall professionalism of the final product. using a 72 ppi image due to the fact that its considered low resolution can cause poor print quality.while on the other hand a high resolution 300 ppi image can increase the professionalism and overall interest from viewers or costumers. 3.   The difference between 72 ppi and 300 ppi matters because it affects image quality and website performan...
