  Artist Statement This semester I have had the opportunity to expand my knowledge on Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign. I have been able to learn about many tools and tricks that these platforms offer. Throughout my time in FMX 210 I have taken my knowledge and created several projects. For my final project this semester I have created a portfolio that showcases all the projects I have completed in this course. To create this portfolio, I used InDesign and brought my idea to life. From choosing a color palette, to selecting fonts, I am very pleased with my final project. I am so excited to take what I have learned in this course and apply it in the future. With that being said, enjoy my FMX 210 Final Portfolio!

  Artist Statement This week I worked on creating a personal business card in Adobe InDesign. This project was exciting as I got to add my personal logo to all of my designs as well. This process started with me sketching out 12 designs as seen below. This allowed me to come up with several options for myself, and in the end it helped me create my final designs. Throughout my design process in InDesign I got to learn how to incorporate images from Adobe Illustrator and experiment with different visual elements such as fonts, stroke designs, frame shapes, and more. Creating a personal card is a great skill to have and I am excited to share my final 3 designs that I came up with! Initial Sketches

  Artist Statement This week I learn more tools on Adobe InDesign. This was my first project completing on this platform so I was eager to get started. This project was surrounded around the solar eclipse that occurred on April 8. Since the eclipse was present in Vermont, I decided to highlight Burlington, VT in my postcard. To create my content I used the frame tool to create a layout for  my design and got to experiment with some new fonts. I also was able to included my personal logo as the stamp on my postcard, which I find to be a neat touch. I am excited to share my very first InDesign project, enjoy! 

Tutorial 1: Link This tutorial was very helpful as it was a general overview of Adobe InDesign. It showed me how to set up a document and how to work with text and images within this platform. I learned the purpose of InDesign and how it can be used for books, menus, brochures, business cards, and more. I really have no knowledge of InDesign, so watching this video gave me some helpful knowledge on why I might use this platform and how it can be beneficial for certain projects. The hardest part for me is going to be getting familiar with the tools and features since I have never used it before. I am excited to see what this platform can do! Tutorial 2: Link This tutorial showed me how to create a magazine design. I learned how to set up the layout, how to change margins and columns, and how to add text. This tutorial was very helpful as it showed a project come to life on InDesign. The tutorial also showed me how to create frames to plan out where text and images will go which I think...
