Resume:
A hobby of mine is taking photos. It has been a hobby of mine since I was a kid, using basic cameras. For a year or so I have been taking photos from my Android phone and thanks to some friends who own DSLR's, my friend Clayton, and Tarryn who is in this class, I decided to get my own DSLR for Christmas. Anyways, I kinda want to redesign my resume geared towards photography. Although I do not see my self making a living as a free lance photographer, it would still be neat to have a photo resume on hand.Business Card:
I have never had a business card, but I do remember as a kid looking at different kinds of designs and picking up business cards from the printers with my dad when he owned his own business. I was looking through some examples online and this one caught my eye. I do not know what I want mine to look like yet, but it will have design in it.Movie Poster:
Like I said in class, I want to make a movie poster for my own movie project. If it turns out that I can not film the movie for my rock & roll and media class I still want to make a movie poster. Either a redesign of a film that I like, or I might go ahead and make the one for my own project, the film just wont be done. Possible redesign could be the poster for dazed and confused. I love the movie, but I do not like the poster.Advertisement:
I think it would be amazing to work for national geographic, so I am thinking of maybe designing an billboard or what not for this section. If not national geographic, maybe discovery or some company that deals with the natural world.Brochure:
I have to design a brochure for the Association of Fund raising Professional - Collegiate Chapter - since I am the communications chair. Here is an example of something that I found online that I liked -not a AFP brochure. The brochure that we have now was made in publisher...blah...so it is my job to make a new one.Other options:
I really liked Tarryns idea of cd covers so I might switch that idea with one of mine.
I also liked Kalas idea of designing a sports calendar. If i deiced to switch one of my ideas with this one, I would do it over the Dallas Stars because I could possible see my self working in their organization.
Four Basic Principles of Design:
1. Contrast- It is what makes the reader look at the page in the first place.
2. Repetition- Develops the organization and strengthens the unity.
3. Alignment-Creates a clean, sophisticated, fresh look.
4.Proximity- This helps organize information, reduces clutter, and gives the reader a clear structure.
Good thinking posting the four basic principles of design, and thinking about how they relate in each of the 5 different types of documents you wish to re/design. The brochure, clearly, will be the most complex. Might start playing with InDesign some. I'd encourage you to begin with the National Geographic re/design--when you begin--by looking at as many covers as you can. Good thinking about the movie poster re/design. You'll need to think about not having too much clutter. Looking forward to seeing your card design, too.
ReplyDeleteThese are some cool choices, can't wait to see what the end results are. The photography resume looks like it might be the best project, allowing you to really think outside the box.
ReplyDeleteBusiness Card:
ReplyDeleteContrast-I want to use a large faded C on the left side of the card to capture the readers attention.
Repetition-Use Bold type at the top and then the bottom the keep the readers eyes moving back and forth.
Alignment-Make sure the text is right aligned.
Proximity- Information about my self will be right aligned and centered. Non bold text.
I'll be interested in how you work with the Dazed and Confused cover. It is apparent that it still retains the essence of what it means to be 80s. The color/contrast scheme could definitely use some remastering.
