Project 3: Photodesign

1. Description: This was an image to demonstrate my photography skills combined with my ability of design in Photoshop.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I used Photoshop CC to edit my photo that I took with my Canon 60D. The lense i used was a 18-55mm F3.5-5.6. Focal length was 38 mm, ISO 400, Shutter Speed 1/250, and F4.0. I made simple  edits using sharpening tools, levels, hue and saturation, and selective color. After editing the image I cropped it to fit my 11 x 8.5 layout. And began creating a color scheme trying to bring out the color of the wood on the bottom of the pipes and the faint teal color between the pipes formed by the light refracting.
3. Message: The message I want to share was simple. That music can influence everyone and people need to appreciate it.
4. Audience: My audience is college students who struggle to understand the wonderful blessing of classical music.
5. Top Thing Learned: Focus, Focus, Focus. You need to make sure that your image in focus cause if it isn’t every single edit you make points out your error even greater.
6. Color scheme and color names: Split complementary: Teal, Red, and Orange.

Project 3 Activity: Photography

Light 1 : Outside

Light 2 : InsideFocus 1 : ForegroundFocus 2 : BackgroundComposition 1 : ThirdsComposition 2 : Lead Room

The photos I took today were taken on a Canon 60D. The lens I used was an 18-55 F3.5-5.6 and I used natural lighting. Understanding composition is a powerful aspect in photography. It allows a beginner to turn images into something that is professional level or close. It teaches people how to see the world in a different view.

I want people to understand that even a beginner can take amazing images if they take their time to focus and really put into work these aspects. I understand that we must take time and practice these elements. Once we try and practice our hard work will convert into something more positive.

Project 1: Flier

1. Description: A black and white flier about a leadership conference for recent graduates.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I started by drawing multiple sketches of what I wanted. As I started working in InDesign one of my sketches started coming to life as I created the layout. Once I put in the text I began to rearrange the layout to fit everything. Once I finished my rough draft I had three people critique and help fine tune my design. After the critiques I made a few minor changes and ended up with my final project.
3. Message: The message I am trying to send is the importance of leadership and where people can learn how to become leaders.
