Disneyland! Okay, this is the best of the best of my work (in my opinion.) And here, I'm using it for the best over-all design. First Page: The enlarged disney hat is the eye-catcher that creates immediate audience interest. I placed it diagnally, with the "marceline" heading overlapping the ear so that they're connected. That's the important connection people need to first see. Then, the details of the hometown and walt's magic come into play in smaller font, yet large enough for a heading. I stuck with a red/black/white theme for the booklet cover. Page 2/3: The booklet opens up, immediately presenting a map of the town. Again, the overlapping text is used, to show the use of the map. The pages are divided into five large blocks; text in the four corners, and then the center map. Four photos are used in each text section, pertaining to one of the attractions in that area. The audience can then look for the attraction on the map. Clarity to the audience was a main focus for this piece. On the back is all of the other information. It's livened up with some red headlines. The picture is made more interesting with the three verticle red lines behind it. Overall, the best design elements are the diagnal hat on the front, the overlapping text, the use of just two fonts, and the clarity to the audience.

So this is my best copy fitting job. When compared to the final product, they look almost identical. The only thing that really changed is the photo on the left. But, when looking at the copyfitting, it's almost perfect. I feel that when copyfitting, it would be cheating to go back and do it after you've already done it on the computer (you wouldn't even have to use the right technique.) So I didn't re-do mine, and it actually turned out pretty well. However, the final did come up a little bit short, so to compensate, I made the Headlines a little bigger, to take up more space. From this project, I learned how to copyfit the right way, and it turned out pretty well.

So, this is my best marker comp. It's also the very first marker comp I did. It's a replication from a lipstick add in a Teen Vogue magazine. I like it a lot because this high-heeled shoe actually looks three dimensional, which is hard to create with the markers. I feel I correctly used the layering technique of the markers to capture what the shoe really looks like. This is especially seen in all the way up the back of the shoe. It's good. It's sassy. I like it!

Here is my best set of color comps. I enjoyed getting to work with a graphic I had already created and spent a lot of time on. Each color comp within this set works with a different creative concept. In each comp, I got to create a small-scale version of my car. They all look pretty much the same, and very close to the actual version of the car. Also, In each comp I drew in small-text space to create a visual for how it would actually look. I ended up taking the "100 years, ford anniversary celebration" and the final product looks exactly like this small scale version. It's very cool to see a piece go from stage one to the final poster. I really like that we got to do more of the process-y type stuff the second half of the semester. It's been much more enjoyable :)

YES

This is the start of my final portfolio! The best of the best. The show-offs of my extreme skill, talent, and creativity. The final.

So this is my final chili poster. It looks pretty good I think. Creating a realistic chili-soup image was really difficult to create, so the beans look a little fake. Also, I should have contrasted the gray of the bowl more with the soup's shade. Otherwise, I think everything is placed well and it does a good job of catching the audience's attention.
