CSS and CARP Design

CSS CARP Design:

   This project is to understand the meaning of CARp and how to use the CSS in dreamweaver. Like the two files created, the first is a file without the use of CARP. The second actually uses it. 

Contrast:

Contrast consists with usage of color, size, text size. Using these on covers (example) to brighten the mood with heading making it stand out more. It catches the eye of people when they are reading.

Alignment:

Alignment consists with flush left, flush right, and justice aligns the text left right or stretched out. This brings out the text, making the words easier to read. 

Repetition:

Repetition is is just reacting the use of contrast and alignment. this keeps the poem (project) looking clean and professional. In the project, I used the same colors for most of the poem to keep consist.

Proximity:

Proximity keeps the structure of the project being grouped together saying that these items are related to each other. Having items far away will keep these items ungrouped saying that their unrelated. For the project, The text is kept closer together because they relate to one another.

New things learned?

Having the use of  the properties and to change the layout with margins. The change of color using the ink pad thing to have multiple colors.

Logo Sketching and Illustrator

Logo Sketching:

     Creating my logo when sketching was me literally drawing a car creating tire smoke having the creation of my last name. though I dropped the car because it made the logo a bit to big. Using a tire made the logo look more as a logo then a drawing/ illustration.

Logo Illustrator:

     My logo making in illustrator is the same explanation for my logo in sketch. Having the logo have a wheel (not sure if this design of the wheel already exists) in black with grey tire smoke coming off to create my last name. Reason I used black and grey is because tires are black and smoke resembles smoke.

Opinion?:

     My opinions over my logo is honestly, could have been made better. though I'm not as good with using the adobe illustrator as I am in sketching. But either way I could have made the tire better along with my name having an illusion with the smoke coming from the tire.

Flower Drawings

Sketch Drawing: Flowers 

Illustrator

Drawing Twenty Times:

     Drawing twenty different flowers was very similar with all the flowers. Not saying their all the same because they have petals and stems.  Drawing flowers were a lot tougher trying to keep a stable look on each flower. Having which the petals keeping a similar size and the size of the flowers. The uniqueness of each flower did make them really fun and challenging which made it look rewarding. Like the roses I drew or the the flower in the top left of my sketch.

Flowers in Illustrator:

I drew a flower that looked like a flower depending on how you see it. On my sketch, I can tell that the drawing looked like a flower. but when creating the drawing on illustrator, it could look like anything. though I drew this flower because it looked cool and unique than the other flowers. But I don't think you will found this flower in real life. When using colts for the image, nothing really stood out except for the one I chose obviously. 

My Personality Type

My Personality Type:

     My personality type is Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and perceiving. Or ISFP, and the way I see it is a person who requires alone time to achieve he/she's greatest goals. someone who likes to look out for someone that works in the shadows. Celebrities that share the same personality type are John Travolta, Zac Efron, and Drew Barrymore. 

Does the description match the personality of mine?

     The description that shows my personality type is how I need to be mostly by myself to work at my best. In other words, to be a complete shut in that can get stuff done. Everything else that was in the description didn't describe may personality all that well. 

I honestly didn't need the description to better understand on who I really am. The way I do things can be shown to help me understand. The way I play or work just show who I am or can be in the present or future.

Clarification for the role I play:

     My personality type that plays my role on a team, in my family, or being a part of something is someone who sits in the shadows giving support when they most need it. Though I still need to help in a way that shows I'm supporting my team/family/ anything I can be on.

A Misunderstanding:

     I have probably been mistaken for things that doesn't make true for who I am. Though not sure if its because of my personality type. Like when I'm in school sleeping on my desk, people wonder if I'm depressed. No, I'm just really, really, really, sleepy all the time. People I have Quote issues with would be my brother. Its not because he's just my brother, more than that. We also learned that he is an extravert. Like when he just butts in my business without asking, or is that what siblings just do?

Things I have learned: 

    Things i've learned throughout this project is one, about my personality type. I understand full well about me being a introvert but everything else, I didn't know. Showing how my personality explains the way I interact with other people.

LOBGR Personality Test:

As the name suggests, the LOBGR shows your personality traits with 4 animals. Those being a lion, beaver, otter, and a golden retriever. My strongest personality trait is the golden retriever, which is good at making friends and being very loyal. Retrievers also do not like big changes that need security. Being very sensitive and having a deep relationship, but only having a at least two close friends. My second strongest trait is a beaver, which are very organized. They believe the right way to do everything and want to do it in the book. Beavers are also creative with the desire of solving everything. they don't like sudden change. 

Color Theory

Color Wheel

Favorite Color:
   My favorite color is dark grey, reason is because it's a dark color. Though I guess most of the dark colors are my favorite. If you haven't guessed already, I really don't like bright colors. Ill use bright colors if needed but that won't always happen, or in my case anyway. Dark grey is used on most cars including my favorite car. Dark grey has been used in iconic things like super heroes. And by that I mean Batman. And I guess the time where the Blackest Night happened in the DC universe. Anyway that is why I like dark grey.

Least Favorite Color:

     

     My least favorite color is white, reason because it hurts my eyes. That and I'm used to the dark, not wanting to go outside hissing at the brightness. White is also a very boring color, in my opinion, because it doesn't show something that makes it stand out. Except the fact that its really bright. its like Yin and Yang in a sense since their pretty much each others opposite. Now I can't think of any other reason on why I don't like white. 

Color Theory:

       Color theory is the way to show energy and creation towards logos and drawings, etc. It can show the artistic ability in peoples drawings following dark or bright colors. Having the use of shade or tint colors. the creativity using the three main colors of the color wheel, Red, Blue and yellow. Also the use of secondary colors, which are violet, green and orange. Then mixing secondary and primary colors for tertiary colors. 

Illustrator

Sketch

My Sketch in Adobe illustrator
I sketched an ice cream cone to create in adobe illustrator. I mostly used shapes and color to make my drawing look like an ice cream cone. With this, I used my drawing to have be recreated in adobe illustrator. For this I used the shaper tool to create shapes like a triangle and a circle. Making these shapes required the mouse to form a shape and the shaper tool will do the rest for you.




Creating my Sketch in Illustrator
Creating my design on illustrator was not as easy until you obviously get used to the shaper tool. That or I can't follow directions that well. Anyways, until I was used to using the abilities with the shaper tool, it had gotten easier to use. The process to use the shaper tool like erasing shapes to add other shapes to form something else wasn't as easy as you would think.

Illustrator 
How I think with illustrator is more on the iffy side. To think on the realistic side, using illustrator for a logo design for a company or job would be great to use. Having it used for drawings or to create something on the fly isn't how feel about it. I'd rather be free drawing show my skills than using an application. but I'm probably saying this because I'm still not used to using Illustrator.

SketchBook Drawing

Artistic point of view and details

     For my sketchbook drawing, I mostly went for logos over typography and also having color. Though I didn't color the background because I was to lazy. Anyways, I chose logos because I found it representing what graphic design can be. I also didn't know what else to draw that shows typography and found it easier to draw up with logos. Now for the color aspect, I wanted to give something that represents the logos in their own way. That and people would most likely be annoyed with the absent of color. Since I don't have a lot of color to begin with. 

7 Key Elements to Graphic Design

     How I used the 7 key elements to my sketchbook drawing is to show what my drawings are about overall. Like the use of color that brings out the logos to make them look appealing. This also follows with texture and contrast. Then using size and shape, my sketch can end up covering space that I want filled or having shape that gives logos a unique sense of style. Also having to use value for the logos light or dark aspect of itself. 

What I liked about my work/Sketching process 

     The fact that I'm able to free draw over something I like is the greatest thing in the world. I liked the way my drawings looked then something I would draw back 4 years ago. I also enjoyed what kind of logo I was able to draw like the Nightwing logo or the Batman logo. Now for the sketching process, I went for trial and error for each of my drawing. This also gets me better to draw the same drawing to make it look good.
