What is Graphic Design

Graphic design is conveying a message through images and typography. It is used everywhere from books to bridges. When graphic design is done well it makes you feel a certain way. Personally I judge books by its cover and when a book has a great cover it makes me love the book even more. Graphic design can even be land marks, from bridges, to statues, and signs. Graphic design is supposed to make you feel something, the graphic is supposed to tap into your emotion and make you feel or experience something. Every time I se graphic design it makes me wonder who is the person behind that. The way things look changes how you feel. For example how do you feel when you see a stop sign or a bill board? Those are examples of graphic design that is executed well. Graphic design is even on your phone. I make connections with graphic design and what I most connect with is logo design, when I see a design I know how much work goes into that and i wonder how the design came to be.

1st Semester Reflection

This year I gained many strengths. Some of my strengths include project management, cooperation, and leadership. I have strong project management because I get my assignments done on time and they are quality packages. My cooperation skills are strong too because I communicate well with Haley and calm her down when she's stressed out. I have great leadership skills because I can lead people without being bossy. Also my leadership skills have helped me finish my work on time and work well with others. However, I have a few weaknesses like staying on task and being proactive. My plan to become more proactive is by helping out with more things after school and helping set up the broadcast. I will also sit in on the game day broadcasts and learn how to work the equipment. I will stay on task by working on my portfolio and my blogs. Overall this semester was very successful. I learned how to work well with others and what it takes to be a strong leader. I also learned how to be a go...

My personality type is an ESFJ. ESFJ are kind, smart, and detailed workers. We are concerned about other peoples feelings more than our own. ESFJ take pride and their work and appreciate praise and compliments. I think my personality type fits me right on. For example ESFJ are organized people and we get our work done on time and that describes me perfectly! Whenever I participate in group settings I mostly try to be the lead role. I work well and cooperate with my other group members. If my role in the group is not the leadership role then I still tend to participate as much as I can. However, sometimes my mom misunderstands me because I try to boss my little brother around. My personality sometimes clashes with my family because we are all very loud and we try to talk over each other most of the time. For example my brothers and I's personality clash because he isn't very o...

I created this logo by using adobe illustrator. I used the shape tool to create the circle and then i used the color tool to change the color to blue. I then used the triangle tool to create the chevron effect and used the color tool to change the colors. I also used the type tool to type my name and changed the font to reflect my girly and feline side. Some problems I faced while creating my logo were creating the chevron pattern and figuring out how to position my name. I addressed the problems by first testing out different shapes and lines to form the chevron then i used different colors to create the illusion of chevron. Some things i did well in the logo project was creating the illusion of chevron and the different colors that went into my logo. However I still need to work on adding different levels of interest and adding more depth. Next time I do this project I will spend more time on details and on the shape and less time on choosing fonts. ...
