Since I am graduating High School soon, this will be my final daily blog post for a while. Thank you for following along with me as I learned many techniques during my time in graphic design class. I will forever remember the experience and techniques that I gained from this course.

Today in class, I finished one of the two American Sign Language logos. For this logo, I put the hand signs ASL, and then wrote American Sign Language under each one. Then, I put a trojan and wrote Castro Valley High School. Now I have one more logo to finish.
Today in class, I finished making a CD cover for my favorite band. My favorite band is Maroon 5. On the bottom right is the cover, band name and band members. Top right is the inside cover. I added the band name and a photo of the band members. Top left is the CD, I just put the band name on the disk. Bottom left I put the song list, parental advisory, and barcode. The spine has the same information as the cover.
Today in class, I finished my book cover assignment. On my book covers, I wanted to use the typewriter font to enhance the title of the book. I added everything that would have been on a real published book cover.
I'm Back! Today in class, I finished the Black Student Union logos. I had to create two logos to represent the Castro Valley Black Student Union club. I decided to put the colors of the African flag within the logos. These are the two logos that I made for the club.
Today in class, I finished my album cover. I had to create an CD album for the band Hard-Fi. On the bottom right is the cover. It has the four band members in stick figure and a security camera looking at them. On the top right is the inside cover. I put a drum set and an electric guitar to show that they are a band. On the top left is where the record would go and the bottom left is the song list. The colors contain black and yellow because that is their theme color for the band.
Today in class, Mr. Vendsel's class came over and we discussed our movie posters. For my Harry Potter movie poster, I have to rearrange the text. Other than that it was ready to be turned in. Now I have to start designing the album cover for Hard-Fi.
Today in class, I finished my movie poster for graphic design. First, I put a black and blue gradient background. Then I put each individual photo together onto one background; after which I used quick mask tool to get rid of the photo's background. The text was a previous work that was done by going to dafont.com and downloading the Harry Potter font.
Today in class, I had to replicate the logos on the left. On the right are the ones that I made. I used Illustrator to create them and mostly used the marquee tool and text tool. I think I did a good job trying to recreate the logos. My favorite one that I did was the Jeep logo.
Today in class, I made a gif. I used this website https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/how-to/make-animated-gif.html to make the moving image below. I first downloaded the file and then imported the file into Photoshop. From there I just followed the directions on the website.
Today in class, I created a ticket invitation. I decided to make an invitation ticket to my high school graduation on June 8, 2017. I just added some text about what and where the invite is for and added images relating to the event.
Today in class, my teacher said to go out and take pictures of different typography. These are what I came up with. I put it on a photoshop background and labeled them what I thought the font was.
Today in class, I started on the movie poster for graphic design. I am imitating the movie poster of Harry Potter. I got all the text on the poster and now I need to add the photos. I am going to retake the photo of me and make it look more like the Harry Potter outfit. Also, I am going to add two more people on each side of me.
Today in class, I only had about 30 minutes to work because the substitute didn't show up. In the time that we got to have work time, I just added some requirements to the second drink label that I started before the weekend.
Today in class, I continued working on my drink labels. For the Kale Crazy drink label, I added a barcode, a recycle label, and the fluid volume. I also started my second drinking label called, Red Dragon. I still need to add some more things on both of the drinking labels.
Today in class, I started on the drink labels assignment. I only got to start on one drink label. Tomorrow, I will try and finish this drink label and start on the second one.
I decide to change the word "travel" to the word "rivers". I just used the paint brush and paint bucket to create this word design.
Today in class, I added some things on my website to try and make it better. I added some information about myself, a way to get in contact with me for a resume or any other regards, and a photography tab for future postings of my photos. Tomorrow, I will try and finish up the word designs.
Today in class, I started on my 3 words design assignment. The first design I created used the word "sunset". I used the type tool and the ellipse tool. The second design I used the word "earthquake". I used the lasso tool and drew crack marks in the letters. The last design I didn't get to start designing yet. I want to use the word travel. I was thinking of making a world map in the letters. Today in class, I learned how to do text and filter. We are going to pick 3 words and we have to design the words so that it looks like what it is saying. Just like the word down below. We are going to use Photoshop to create the words. The overall goal is to filter upon filter, layer upon layer, technique upon technique.
