From the Blue Jay Poster, I think I have grown creatively in the way I create designs and layouts. At the beginning of the year I didn't really understand proximity or know what I was doing, but now I feel I have a much better understanding of how to create a good layout and why certain things work. The project I think I enjoyed most this year was creating the Art and Literary magazine. Sometimes it was stressful that I couldn't control everything, but it was super fun watching everything come together and working with other people is definitely a necessary skill. The project I enjoyed the least this year was the self portrait. I hated having to create something that I feel is representative of me, because I don't really know how to make that into a visual. The skills I've learned in this class have definitely been useful to me. I use them for my more creative school assignments, for Instagram, and next year I'll use them to create posters for the Tutor Center since I'm a tutor leader. I definitely see myself continuing to use these skills. I love this class, so I'm TAing next year :), and I'm going to try to major in graphic design. I do consider myself to be an artist/designer because it's something I like doing and that brings me joy. One thing that I would've like to learn more of in this class is how to use some of the other tools in Illustrator and InDesign, although I can probably look up what those tools do myself.

Her portfolio includes a wide range of recognizable names: One Direction, Sam Smith, MTV, Cadbury, Ford, Nike, Adidas, American Express, and many more. Her bright bold designs make it easy to see how she is one of the most highly sought-after designers. Kate Moross's work is aptly described as “individual and distinct while also dripping in her infectious playful personality”. Her individualistic approach to art gives her work a unique feeling that resonates with so many.
BUSINESS CARD REQUIREMENTS:
Use an original logo that you have created. You need to you use your typographic logo in some way, but you can also create another visual logo to have on the card or to add to your typographic logo. Create your card in InDesign. The standard business card size is 2"x 3.5", this is the size you should make yours unless you have a strategic reason for making it another size / shape. Include your name, address, phone number, and email. Design both a front and back for your card (Even if your back is blank, you need to have a reason for this choice).
As we begin the logo section of the course, you will complete a first assignment working with your own initials to create a typographic logo for yourself. You can only use each letter once in the logo and you need to generate 10 different sketches by hand on a piece of paper.
