In Design Project 2


Well here is a glimpse of my Indesign project #2. The overall objective was to make it a 2 spot colored brochure. We had to convert full colored photos to duo-tone. We could use tints to help "make" more colors.

**This is a revised/unfinished brochure for a friend's wedding planner business. It was built off of my original ID project. It is not fully complete but I think it looks good.

Ahhh, school is over for now!

Today was the last presentation/project for the fall quarter. I'm glad it's over, this flash project was the most time consuming and frustrating project out of all the class I took. For Flash grade wise, I think I did ok. I completed all my homework and projects on time. The only thing is that I wish I knew where I stood in grades throughout the quarter in Flash. I think the fact that my teacher is also a student makes things hard too. He conducted a great class no doubt, but I could see that classes he was taking was wearing him down quick. So, I'm not too bummed about him not updating the grades. He runs a pretty relaxed standard for the most part, so i'm not worried I guess.

There was only 3 projects for the quarter. The first one was to build a banner ad (non-animated) within a set guideline as well as start to finish in class (2.5 hours-ish). We had 3 options to do the ad on, Seattle aquarium, NW trek, and Woodland park zoo. I chose NW trek for my project, and it was horrible I though. No real design to it, just some stick figure-ish drawings and slapped it together.

Second project was to build on the project and animate it. Now my original project sucked and now I had to animate it. I did what I could with it and it still sucked but it fulfilled the requirements. I know for a fact that these 2 project are getting scrapped.

Last project, this one still had 3 options, a holiday animated card, animation to a song, or animation to poem. Initially I was going toward a christmas animated card but things changed a few days after deciding on what to do for the project.

During my Illustrator class we had a project on packaging, I had already started to go with an action figure vinyl toy that is customizable. It was modeled after Kid Robot's "Munny" dolls. I took the idea and turned it in to a ninja character and designed a box for it. While working on this project my classmate Nic saw what I was doing and needed a subject to package. I happened to have a few more templates of different characters and I gave him one of them. Nic was also in my flash class and needed a final project idea and said "I should use this for my flash project! We should do a battle scene." This was a great idea, we bounced idea off each other and the "Ninja VS Assassin" series was born. LOL!

I know it is not that good but it was fun and frustrating to build, but giving the presentation in class and getting a good crowd response was well worth it...
