Lyrical Triptych

 

 Lyrical Triptych Reflection

The project that was given was named Lyrical Triptych such as lyrics and pictures combined.  Consisting three related panels to a song that we liked or represented us. As a class we had to choose a song that we liked or had several meanings to help us find pictures that had the same meaning as the song. Then we printed out the lyrics and searched for pictures that went with the songs. The criteria that was assigned was to work in Adobe photo shop with 3 slides the size of 5X7”.

            For my project I chose to do a marriage, romance type of collage because it seemed easier for me. The name of the song was Romeo & Juliet by Taylor swift she basically is explaining how she loves Romeo and she wants him to take her somewhere. But Juliet’s Dad doesn’t want her around him Romeo, so in the ending he ends up getting married and her dad accepts him. My finished work shows three panels, one with Juliet over a balcony. Another panel shows Romeo on his knees proposing to Juliet and the last one shows how he told her pick out a white dress. I used many tools such as the transform tool to rotate and flip my photo. I also used the color adjustment, magnetic lasso, shadow around my text and many more. To use the filter tool I went to filters and clicked on the one that I wanted. Then to adjust my photo I selected the correct layer and clicked images then adjustments.

            First in order for me to choose the images that I wanted I had to pick a song. I chose one that I did like and one that would be easier for me, with a lot of details. I went to Getty images and chose images that went with my lyrics. The creation that I made with moods towards my work was images of the sky and grass.

            My experience with adobe photo shop is getting better the more experience the better. I like adobe Photoshop but at first I didn’t because I didn’t know how to work it. But now I guess it is ok and would work for me with my projects in the near future. I was successful in this project but it could have been a little better with the details. Next time if I have a project like this I am going to choose my lyrics differently and photos.

Just another day in Graphic Design class.

Magazine cover

               

Magazine Reflection

            The assignment that was given to be completed for my graphic design class was a Magazine that described your future. Another words the purpose of being on the front cover of a Magazine. Such as a celebrity, Doctor, Scientist and so on someone that represents you in the near future. As a class we was told to choose a topic and picture to design the front of the cover. First step I took was to choose a Topic title; picture and then I got some ideas from the Internet and other magazines I saw. Another step that I took was adding quotes and info for my magazine.  We also used Adobe photo shop to cut, create and paste with our magazines.

My cover looks like glamorous Cover girl magazine. Except I chose a white background and inside its all about Fashion. My magazine description fits for teen girls who are looking for the latest fashion trends. My cover also explains hot gossip inside which makes you want to look inside and buy or read more. The colors were not all that exotic and attention wise but I chose navy-blue, black, pink and switched the fonts around. Last but not least my picture is a face shot but shows a little of my fashion side.

The main communication through my magazine was that I am all about dressing. I love the latest trends and someday if I was to be on a magazine cover it would definitely be for teen girls and fashion. I tried to communicate through my picture the most and quotes that I chose. Lets say if your magazine cover is not interesting or catchy no one is going to buy it.                    

Looking at my rubric I felt as though my work cam to a successful matter. I think if I had more experience with adobe photo shop it would of cam out a little better. For an example my photo it could have been better and I wanted a background but I ran out of time. So basically the time and Adobe Photo shop was mainly the problem. But my work came to a success so I am fine with what I have.
