Final Project

 

My final project for my visual journalism class was to write  a story about an international teacher at Columbia College and put the layout together in  in design. We were supposed include a sidebar, map, byline, and caption on photographs. My story was about Carolina Posse who is from Colombia. In my layout I included history of the countries where she was born and raised. I included a sidebar of her favorite dessert.

Midterm-website main homepage

 

In the midterm project we were supposed to moc the main page of a website.  The photographs were supposed to be editted to be 72 dpi. I included links to facebok and twitter. My main focus on this website was the construction being done around the southloop.

Picture restoration

In this project we had to restore the photograph using photoshop. We had to retouch the color and add color to make the photograph stand out. The raw photograph was very damaged and the color was wearing out. I smoothed the surface of the picture and worked with the color to make it even.

Inforgraphics

For this project we had to put a informational graphic together that was easy to read and understand. In this graphic we compare prices of cars and homes. I organized the data so that you're able to see the price difference from highest to lowest.

Magazine Duplicate

In this composition I was supposed to duplicate a magazine page that was assigned to me.  The font was a sans serif type so I used Halverica.  I decided to use the big picture on the left top corner because the colors catch your eye.  At the bottom of the page there was advertising where I had to use a photograph and overlap text.

Cool Colors

Out of all the projects this one is my favorite. I used cool colors and I tried to give it a pastel look. I used light green for the background and for the shapes I used darker shades of blue and pink. The circle in the middle I gave it a light transparency so that the triangle is visible. The two smaller circles on the sides of the circle I gave them a baby blue color so that they stand out.

Warm colors

In this project we were supposed to make a composition in warm colors. I used orange to fill the background  so that the shapes in the front would stand out. 

Black & White

In this project I was supposed to make a composition in black and white colors. The only shapes we were supposed to use were circles, rectangles, squares, and triangles. We used picas as our unit of measurement. What I did here was simple, I balanced all sides by using rectangles that are the same sizes. Also I used  transparency  in the middle circle so that the triangle would be visible.
