Final Wrap Up

I really did enjoy this class. I feel like it is really rare that people can say that about a course, but this one was great. Even though the projects were time consuming and it took some time to get used to the programs, I never minded it. I love playing around with design and it was even better that I got to do it for a grade. I will 100% walk away from this class with something. I have already been using indesign to create things outside of class and will continue to do so. 

Website

For my webpage I based it off of my poster. The headline being "where the kids create the dream" inspired my design to appear as if a child had made the webpage. I wanted to do this so kids would be captured by it because they could relate to it and the colors would be very appealing. I also wanted it to spark an emotional response in the parents so that when they saw it they would feel as if it were a piece of art that their child had made. I used the same and similar visuals from my poster to tie the two together. 

Interface Design

My interface design was for the 25th Anniversary celebration/fundraising drive of Vive La Casa, a refugee shelter in Buffalo. The pages are an irregular shape to represent the idea of a scrolling page... only the burgundy box would scroll. My fonts are Garamond and Verdana, and the vast majority of the images were taken from a Buffalo News soundslide about the shelter.

These are just the first three pages, as the last two are apparently "corrupted"... but they're pretty similar, and in the same format.

Oops...

I lost my flash drive...still looking for it..Why is why I have not posted my website yet.

This is my website. My high school was competing for a high school musical contest so i wanted to do something about that. Here it is

interface design

I did the Trinity Turkey Trot which was my poster project as well.  I wanted the website to be easily navigable, so I bolded subheads to create visual hierarchy.  I chose a palate of warm colors to reflect the holiday and season, and used my turkey from the poster project as part of the header because it was well received by my church. 

Interface Design

The organization is Syracuse Grows, a non-for-profit organization that advocates city gardening. So I chose the colors dirt brown and green. The design is inspired by a image that I found on google. I enlarged the image, and used part of it as the background image.

I used Georgia as the typeface, and had a little fun with the logo.
