So here's a little reflection on all of my favorite second semester projects. I'm supposed to pick three, which should be easy because second semester was my jam. typography So my first favorite of semester two was the typography project. It took me around three weeks or so to complete. I had to pick song lyrics/quotes, typefaces, format them, make graphics, etc. I had a lot of trouble deciding what quotes to do, since a lot of the music or quotes I had listed meant a lot to me. I learned a lot about balance and typeface, how to make more words look more emphasized than others. I was told often to add more graphics, lines, etc. and I did. but I also really liked the empty minimalist feel. I stuck mostly to the ideas I had in my head, except for maybe the bi heart. the gradients were finicky. I just.. I really liked it?? it sparked joy???? that's why I like a lot of these projects. vector  another one I really enjoyed was the vector graphics. that took...

   this was was pretty fun to say the least. So, if you don't know, Typography is that live-laugh-love type stuff that your mom posts on facebook. they're cheesy, but pretty. I, personally like them, depending on the quote. so at first, we had to think of ten quotes, then pick four to make into a black and white typography. here they are: pardon their blurriness, but still. I chose lyrics that either I chose or my best friend, who loves lyrics. weirdo. I chose two basic fonts, one serif and one sans serif, which you can see are both used in the last one. I then chose some accent fonts for emphasis, which can be seen in the first three. next, we had the option to color the four we already did, or four new ones. I chose four new ones, since these looked good on their own. here those are:    I feel like I'm getting more comfortable with illustrator, considering I made that Jekyll profile with the pen tool. that heart gave me a lot of hell...

alright so I'm supposed to show like two projects and review them and stuff. if you can't tell, I'm VERY done right now, I'm exhausted. whatever. here we go. so as you can see, you have already seen this. it's Julia and Jared. yippee. the first one was a popart project, and the other one was like,, something with Photoshop 101. both of them didn't take very long. how long did it take? julia took like... a week, and jared took two days. you can see which one I liked better, clearly. any issues? I didn't have any problems with Julia, she was easy. jared, however. his hair was so hard!!! I relied heavily on effects to make it look at least semi decent. good critique? I didn't get a lot of critique. or at least... useful ones. I'm sorry, but like?? criticizing the color pallet isn't really critique, Helen (she doesn't exist it's a white girl insult). what did you learn? I mostly learned how to use the Wacom, it was pretty d...

printing has been around since medieval times, thanks to the Gutternberg Printing press. If it weren't for printing, we wouldn't have lutheranism, books, or modern pop art drawings. Today, artist use printing as a type of media. There are three main types: Relief, Lithography, and Intaligo.
