Finding Typefaces

San Serif

The "SKLZ" text is used to provide in abbreviation for skills, in which the company helps improve. SKLZ makes many item to help athletes better their skills. I think this typeface gets straight to the point and its clear.

Slab Serif

This type is used to give an abbreviation for a middle school: Tompkins Square Middle School, that I attended before MHS. This typeface is appropriate it gets a unique look to the school's shirts and makes the shirt look very aesthetic.

Modern 

This typestlye is used to show off the company "AON" as a sponsor on a soccer jersey. This text s gives a very interesting look to a soccer jersey and i personally love the text.

Old Style

The text is used for display on Poland spring water bottles. This type face is okay, but i feel like it would be better if all the letters were more smooth and more "Old Stylish" than it already is.

San Serif

This is used for tennis balls. I believe this text is perfect to go on tennis balls. The text isn't bland and is has a perfect distribution of creativity. 

San Serif

The text is used for "AXE" items. The text is well blended with the item, the colors and shades inside make it even more dynamic.

Questions Asked:

What is the purpose of the fitness club?

What 3 words would describe the club?

Do people help each other workout?

Are there primary and secondary colors that go along with the club?

What would motivate someone to attend the fitness club

The purpose of the fitness club is to bring a fun and motivational experiences for students that want to exercise. All students can attend the club and the overall purpose is to create and fit and healthy environment for MHS students. Three words to describe the fitness club are Calisthenics, Weights & Cardio. People may help each other workout, but if one needs information they would just address Ms. Finkelstein. There isn't a specific color, but bright colors are mostly used in gyms, sometimes darker colors. Students at Ms can motivate a student as well the thought of wanting to become an even healthier and fit person overall.

This is the old school logo for the NFL team The New England Patriots. In my opinion i actually think it sends off more of a patriotic message that the current new logo for the patriots. I think the main part that sparked this decision was that the old school logo gives a full body image of the player/patriot. The logo also has the patriot in a football stance holding the ball and instead of having football gear, he has a patriotic attire which gives clearer evidence that the man is a patriot. This is a great logo to describe The New England Patriots because it sends off the message that a patriot is playing football and its clear and precise.

Photoshop Project

I modified the picture to display myself as a creature of water to demonstrate how I was in need of water after a hard fought game of football. Personally i gained a lot of experience with Photoshop editing and had fun while working with editing photos.

Transformation Project

Reflection
1) The most frustrating part of the project for me was making sure the animations transitioned well with one another. I wanted to make sure there wasn't a big jump between the ball moving towards the goal post. Something that was also sort of frustrating was working with many layers. Sometimes i would forget to click a different layer and it would affect the original layer i was working on.
2) After completing the project, the brush tool and the transform tool are the two tools i feel more comfortable using. I used both tools through the majority of the project and became really experienced with them. I used the transform tool to rotate the football and the brush tool to make the details of the football.
3)I want to become better at using the lasso and the crop and slice tools. I haven't really used them during my project but I know they have great significance in Photoshop.
4)  There is a lot I want to do with Photoshop, but working with photos i what i want to do most. There is a lot you can do with photos in Photoshop and i want to experience it, specifically with colors and shading.

EXAMPLES OF GRAPHIC DESIGN

GRAPHIC DESIGN
Good
This is an example of a well put together piece of graphic design


NON-GRAPHIC DESIGN
This is example of a piece of work that isn't graphic design, it is more of a structure of art that wasn't done online.

Inspiration: METLIFE STADIUM

Something that inspired me was when I attended my first Giants game at Met life stadium. It was an amazing atmosphere and I felt good being around about  82,566 other football fans. It inspired me to work even harder to follow my dream of becoming an NFL player. when i watched the players go through the entrance to the field, i imagined myself going through as well. Although, I'am not a giants fan I'am a football fan and it was a great experience.

1. At first I had a lot of trouble deciding which letter to choose. I came across the letter F because it had many themes that I could personally work off. I started sketching out 20 different styles of the letter F and seeing what I can work off of. I came to a conclusion of two final ideas of the letter F. These ideas included arrows shaping into the letter and football with goal posts on it. The process was defiantly helpful because my final arrangement came from the process of creating the 20 sketches.

2. I arrived at the two sketches. A Football and a goal post forming the letter F and Arrows shaping in the letter on a table. I wanted my letter to be football related because that’s what I have a strong passion for. But decided to create something different, because I always make everything related to football. I decided to create the concept with the arrows because I like archery a lot. I represented this by creating similar arrows to the ones Native Americans used.

3. The most challenging aspect of the project was staying with one concept. This was the hardest because I wanted to concept to meet all the rubric requirements while also looking like the actually letter F. I went back and forth between concepts many times.

4. I am satisfied with my project after brainstorming and jumping from concept to concept I am satisfied with the outcome. After the peer feedback I got, I can finally say my letter actually looks like an F.

5. If I can change something about my design I would add more color to the overall design. I specifically put color on the fletching of the arrows to add a unique look to the design. But I think it would look a little bit more appealing to the eyes if the whole design was colored, including the background.
