Graduation Program



I think a strength in my program was the happiness and relief the student possessed in the picture, for it were as if they were truly glad to finally be graduating.I could have seriously of been more creative, but in all honesty I could not think of anything, I was barely able to think of what ended up being my graduation program. This was extremely more difficult then I first thought it would be because it is all about the client and what they want. I already struggle with creativity so the fact that I had to be creative, but in a way the client would want just was not working for my mind. The most important part of graphic design is to please the client because the client is the one who request the graphic design and the reason it is being created is all for the client. In society graphic design plays multiple rolls, but I believe the main role to be advertisements, for that is where the money stays.

Invitation Program



I believe that a strength of my design was that my background was not white, purple or silver/gray, but black which not a lot of people did. No one really had a plain black background the way I had it. I could have opened my mind up a bit more in order to be more creative like the other students. However, I was so plain because I believe the client does not want something amazing and creative, but simple plain and classy the way my program appears. I struggled the most with trying to be creative yet simplistic as I believe the client would want. I believe I did better on the invitation in comparison to the graduation program because it is more appealing to the eye and does not throw too much of one color in your face.

Personal Quilts

My Quilt
Future
Inside


Outside



Past







This project took an awfully long time, but I tried my best to make each quilt describe me as accurately as possible. My original ideas did not exactly change, however more was added on to it and I was quite pleased with how everything overall came out. My favorite square is the outside me because I love the bright colors and enjoyed asking people’s opinions on what they thought of me. Although not everything they said was sweet, it was honest and I had no disagreements with anything they said about me. My least favorite square is my past because I could not truly think of anything for that square and when I finally did I felt like there was a limit to what I could remember. Overall I just feel that it is the weakest square out of all of them, yet I still tried my best. My past and future are both a bit blurry, but I have high hopes for my future and am not sure what is yet to come, but I will make the best of it. For my inside and outside squares I feel that they are completely opposite, but that is how I feel they should be and I will not comment any further on them. My symbols may be clear, but a few are definitely obscure however I will not reveal any of them. All together I am proud of what I creative and enjoyed the project overall, although at times it was difficult when I could not really think of anything.
