Visual Design Work Process




The Visual Design Work Process for making a business card is very tedious and requires a maxim of ingenuity and creativity and without those making a business card from scratch is very hard. The process of making a business card itself requires the use of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign, moderate skill is needed to produce a decent looking card. My role in this as a Visual Designer is to make the card catch the attention of EVERYONE who looks at it and make people want to get a closer look at it, as if i was a Visual Designer for a company, we will have to use Vibrant colors and modern design techniques. Drafts are made and then we slowly work up from there, explanation of InDesign Concepts such as spacing between letters are needed as well on the board not to mention how you drafted your first logo and got the idea behind it.

Lab 11 : Creation of a GIF using Adobe Photoshop


                                             LAB 11: Making a GIF


     Lab 11 was a huge learning experience for me and was a quite challenging as it was my first time using Adobe Photoshop let alone making a GIF. A GIF is a graphical interchange system which is basically a sequence of moving images.

First and foremost for making a GIF using Adobe Photoshop we had to use the gradient tool to change the color of the background to something that catches the persons eye, then we used the elliptical shape of which i chose a round shaped ball and then we created a video timeline and for every different second of the timeline i changed the position of the ball so by the 5th second it moved from across the canvass to the middle and disappeared completely when i turned the Opacity to 0%.

CTEExPO 2015

                                                                                                                          February 13, 2015
                                                            CTEExPO 2015

 The CTEExPO is the Career and Technical Education Exposition of Information Technology High School, this is an expo where we convince freshman of ITHS to join the 3 CTE Academies which are Web Design, Video Production , Apple Academy, of the 3 Academies, Web Design is obviously the best.

The students who were there to meet and greet the freshmen were the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors of their respective CTE Academy. This exposition occurred during the 12th of February 2015 from 8am until 3pm, the locations of the expo were at the rooms of Web Design and Video production of the 2nd floor and Apple Academy at the 3rd floor. The Freshmen of our School started rolling in around the middle of the 2nd period until the end of the 9th period, a different freshmen class would arrive in each period, so there were plenty of new faces we got to see and it was fun to see what freshmen wanted from our CTE Academy. 


Now this event would not be possible without the help of the teachers of the CTE Academies , their fellow students and the freshmen's teacher. not to mention the freshmen themselves for attending the expo. There had to be a big logistics operation between the 3 Academies for the expo to be a success.

The reason for doing this expo is as i previously said to convince the freshmen's aka the 9th graders to join our CTE Program which is web design, we had to give them an idea of things we do around here at the web academy, such as the production of flash games, the process of making websites and other web design related things such as photoshop and InDesign.

I personally felt that this CTE Expo 2015 was a success and I feel that I singlehandedly convinced quite a few Freshmen to join Web Design by using my personality and presentation skills.

Self Evaluation


      

       I would've loved to attend the Fall Semester of Mrs. Ramirez's Web Design class but unfortunately, I was not in the country at this time nor was I in this school. But I feel like I have received a second chance when Mrs. Ramirez took me into her class even though I missed the Fall Semester including the crucial Adobe Photoshop and InDesign classes where the students learned to create logos and edit pictures.


Nonetheless, I will endeavor and try my absolute best to not let Mrs.Ramirez and myself down, henceforth I shall try to learn everything I can including Adobe Photoshop and InDesign in the shortest possible time frame and make up any work that is due including the projects as well and hopefully end this semester with a high grade.
