Final: The Wall card game

The point of the final was to create four different cards in a game called "The Wall." There is a reinforcement card, damage card, wall card and a card back design.

I had fun with this one. I used Photoshop for the artwork but then put it into illustrator and made sure it fit the template. I also tried to get them all to look like they go together even though that wasn't required.

I'm glad I had the chance to do this and that it was the final. :)

Assignment 17: Art Deco Poster

This assignment's purpose was to learn how to use the style art deco.

I used photoshop for the illustration part of it, including the grain texture. I then saved and placed it into InDesign where I added text. I also wanted to add a border, but thought it would be a little too much....not sure.

I enjoyed this one alot, but it took awhile for me to figure out what exactly I wanted to do in the first place, once I got an idea that was more than a building, boat or plane, (I wanted to do something different) I was on a roll. :)

Assignment 16: Zoetrope

This one was fun to do but I had a ton of issues with exporting.....but the point of the assignment is to create movement like an old fashion zoetrope.

I made a star because...well I like stars.... and I used Illustrator, and tried to use After Effects.

I finally got it to work on exporting but there were some glitches in the video upon rendering :(

Assignment 15: Infographic

This assignment was an easier way to do the infographic than in my previous class. The point of the infographic was to explain the anatomy of a zombie lol.

I drew the artwork in illustrator, brought the file into InDesign and started making my buttons and (the secret way to bring up facts). I exported it as an interactive PDF and there you go!

I enjoyed this one but for some reason my rollovers only show up if you roll over them really quickly....hmmm

Assignment 14: Email Newsletter

Learning how to use old school Dreamweaver techniques.

I used the materials given and Dreamweaver/Photoshop CS6

This one got slightly frustrating just because I would accidentally place the cursor one spot over and things wouldn't show up, once I realized my mistakes it went smoother. :)

Assignment 13: Content management

The point of the assignment was to learn how to use a content management system like WordPress.

I of course did this one on my dog Luna, who is a pitbull and the sweetest animal in the world, plus I had a ton of pictures of her, so it made it easy. I chose the Sema theme for the WordPress site and used a photo of Luna as the header which I cropped in Photoshop.

I thought this one was fairly easy and I enjoyed putting it together.

Below is a link and a screen shot of the blog.

Assignment 12: Sliced Webpage

The point of the assignment was to create a webpage that was put together seamlessly with slicing in Photoshop. I went for something simple but with a spring feel, because....why not?

I first made a background, put some eggs, numbers and text on, merged a few layers and then started using the cutting tool. I cut mine into three sections. The left "egg link" section, the header that says Well, Hello there! and the right bottom section with the huge white box. I then put them into Dreamweaver using divs and floating tools to create the seamless look.

I had a fun time with this one, but when I went to the navbar generator to give the eggs a drop shadow effect when clicked, it wouldn't allow me to make the rollover, just the normal state....hmmm not sure why???

Other than that not working, I think it went well.
