A couple of days ago my classmates and I were assigned a project to do over the week. The project was to create a replica newspaper about a certain topic.

News article

Image
A fews days ago, my class and I started to make news article for a future newspaper project and see where our standards are. The object of making a news article was to see what information we can provide for a topic and how we can display that on a newspaper. So first we had to pick a topic we wanted to write about. I wrote about NBA Playoff basketball. We also discussed about the different parts a news article requires. Those parts are the title, subheading, images, and a pull-quote. The necessary part of an article was the image and a pull-quote. Including the main information related to the topic your article is based on. The objective of making the news article was to practice providing information on a topic and displaying it with other resources such as images and pull-quotes.

Resume

Image
About 2 months ago my class and I created a sample resume to see what are skills are, and how we could improve those skills in the future. Also we learned how to make resumes because it could help us prepare on what and what-not to include on a resume for future purposes such as colleges and jobs. First we saw sample resume and observed what the person did right and what the person did wrong, and how they could improve that. Also we had a workshop with a professional, and he explained to us what the purpose of a resume is, and what to include on it, and showed us little tips that people would like to see on your resume. The objective of this assignment was to learn the do's and dont's for a resume and how it can help us in the future when we need it.

Lab 11: Sports

Image
A few days ago, my class and I did a short lab using Indesign. The objective of the lab was to learn how to use the rectangular frame tool properly and how to make the text fit into the frame tool proportionally. Also it helped us learn how to put an image inside of a text, and how to use it correctly, to show the image related to the text. As you can see by the picture above, I have the word "SPORTS" on top, and inside of the word, there are images of sports that represent the text, like basketball and football. You may see this when you see water inside of the word "WATER" etc. This was the objective of the lab and we we can use the rectangular frame tool correctly.

Project 7: Identity

Image
A few days ago, my classmates and I did a project dealing with identity. Identity is something that makes someone different and unique from someone else in a very personal and special way. The objective of this lab was to represent what identity meant to us, and how its important for people around the world. As you can see in the picture above, it shows a hand with mixed colors, and it represents that even if someone is different skin color of different ethnicity from someone, they're all the same,  and be treated equal. No one should treated differently based on their skin color or where they're from.

It helped all of us practice our skills with all the applications such as Photoshop, Indesign, and other programs. When we first started the project, we had to first assign roles. In the project my role was the photographer. The importance of my role for the project was to take photos of everyone in the class for the class of 2019: Visual Design.
