IMED Winter Term

1. My favorite project to work on was the yearbook project. When I started with that project, I had no idea what to do because there was so many things to choose from for my design. In fact, I ended up basically starting on a new PSD one each time I walked into class. But there was two that I completed. While one had more objects and text on it (the one I didn't post), the other one's design (the one that I posted) was much more simple. So I chose the second one. I had fun playing around and trying out new things in Photoshop.
2. My least favorite project was the info-graphic. I disliked it not only because it had to do with capstone, but also because info-graphics are confusing.
3. During this term I learned numerous things about Photoshop and got introduced to Illustrator. What I found useful was the new techniques Professor Curtis taught us how to use. During the logo project we learned how to combine color themes and shapes to create our logos. During the pop art project we learned how to use filters to change pictures and use different shapes.

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SEMESTER PROFESSOR CURTIS!!!

Capstone: Copmuters

My capstone project is on what computers are. My poster gives the basic definition of what they are and the two main components that make a computer.

Capstone Infographic

My capstone info-graphic might not be hard to create because my capstone is based on technology and it is not hard to find information to put on the poster. I still have a hard time deciding how to design my poster.

Pop Art

Pop art first emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain.

Two samples of pop art:

This pop art was done by Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol was one of the leading artists in this genre and he reveled in creating pop art that included aspects of advertisements, culture related to celebrities and also artistic expression on the whole.
