InDesign: Business Card

-

 

For the Business Card project, it was a little challenging to use Adobe InDesign for the first time. It took a bit of time to figure out the process of creating the card, but I eventually got the hang of it. The first thing I had to do was set up the layout of the cards, making them realistically configured business cards. Next, I had to brainstorm my three designs, so that they could correlate with my previously created logos. 


My first business card used the burgundy and sky blue colored logo. I decided to create an ocean-themed card first that included an anchor or the front of the card, and a wave design on the bottom left of the back of the card. To create the anchor, I used the pen tool to create the shapes of the bottom of the anchor, and the ellipse shape and line tool. I used the pen tool to create the waves in the corner of the back of the card. 


For my second business card, I had to think of a design that would match the dark blue and purple logo. Instead of placing the logo in the square rectangle like the previous card, I placed it in the ellipse and added a thin stroke. Additionally, I used the pen tool to create the curve designs on the corners of both sides of the cards. 


For my last business card, I used a watermelon pink, green, and darker pink color palette as my theme. On the logo on the front of the card, I used the object effect to create a drop shadow. The back of the card has three pen tool-created designs layered in the bottom left corner. I simply incorporated the logo on the back of the card in the top right corner and filled the color of the box with the same watermelon pink.

    Dear, Anya

    I really like what you did with this project. The back and the front of each card go really well together, I like how its organized. I also like the theme of colors you went for. Finally my favorite part is how you added shadows to the last card, it looks very nice.

    Hi Anya, great job on all three of your business cards. My favorite one is the last one because I like how you incorporated the shadow. I love that all three follow the same theme and tie together with your logo, while at the same time they all speak in different ways.

    These business cards you made are amazing! I really like the choice of the baby blue and baby pink colors. The waves you created with the pen tool are really well done and the shadows on the pink cards are perfect. Great job!

  For this project, I was inspired by the environment and setting from the movie Avatar. I wanted to replicate the woman in the image on the left. I used photoshop to trasnport an image of myself into that setting. Using the adobe photoshop for this project was quite tricky for me at first. I had to watch and find several tutorials that would help explain the process. I first embedded the original image of myself onto a new file. I used the lasso tool and selected and masked the image. Before doing this, and in order to use the onion mask, I created a bright green layer. This served as a green screen. I used the selection tool and the polygon tool holding the option key, to select the part of the original image I would transport into the Avatar. I selected just by body, and carefully zoomed and edited to make sure it was as clean as possible. I then had to take some steps to prepare the selected portion to be copy and pasted (inverted, control delete, select as new mask and layer, etc)

  For my Autoscopy project, I was inspired by nightmares. Autoscopy, an experience where someone perceives their surrounding environment in a different perspective, inspired me to think about an experience in my dreams, where everything is completely altered. This idea of an altered perspective and reality immediately led me to think about nightmares. For me, when I recall my nightmares, the images of the devil or skeletons, and dark demon smoke comes to mind. I wanted to incorporate those images in altering my self-portrait. I began with a simple selfie of mine and then used adobe photoshop to layer images and alter the hues of the original to create an eery image. In order to make my self-portrait fit into a nightmare, I selected 4 other images from the internet that I could layer.  Using adobe photoshop, I place embedded the bottom left smoky dark image as a background. Then I place embedded the self-portrait of myself on top of the smoky background. To make the image of myself matc
