Typography

The Project:
This week we did a. project in adobe illustrator to learn about typography. We started out by watching videos and looking at pictures using different fonts. For the project we used are name to show the things that make fonts different.

What I learned:
On the first day we watched a video about comic sands and how it was made, I never knew about that font before so that was interesting to me. As the week went on I realized I really didn't know very much about typography and fonts. I learned about serif and san serif fonts. We learned serifs made text more formal and why they are used. We also learned more about adobe illustrator, know I know a lot more about adobe.

How it Went:
Overall this was a very fun project to me, at the beginning I thought it would be boring, I was wrong. I learned a lot of new things about type, fonts, and adobe. The project itself was hard at first, but after I remembered about the option drag short cut to copy things it became much easier.

Making a Logo

The Process: Over the past few weeks we have been making are own logos. We started out by making sketches using our name. we made many different sketches then we narrowed it down to three. we then took those three logos and put them into adobe illustrator. Once in adobe illustrator we made different combinations of each logo. after we choose a final design in black and white we made different color combinations.    Why I choose this logo: I choose this logo because it was simple and complex at the same time. I liked the colors grey and back because the are neutral colors and could go well on anything The font I chose is very cute an happy for the Ava Clayton. The font I use fro the C was very simple and serious.

Music Video

As a group we thought this video would be really fun to create and challenging in many ways. We also had a good idea for locations already so we thought it would be do able. We started with pre-production by dividing up the work to be efficient and effective because we wanted to have as much times as we could to film. We also decided Alex was going to act, Josh and Drew we going to mainly do the camera, and Maleah and I were going to help with choreography and making sure the video and our filming was the same and there wasn't anything weird going on. After we had footage we all edited together since we couldn't have everyone at the same time, so we had one person run editing and everyone else helping and we rotated the main editor. As a group I think we worked together really well and dealt with the issues w...

Printing Processes

Relief Printing:  Relief Printing is a  printing process where the surface faces of the paint block are inked; empty areas are ink free.

Place carbon paper transfer on tip of the block. 3.) Once the paper is transferred, you have the choice of what kind of composition you want to have which will have a impact on what tool you decide to press with. 4.) Roll in over the surface of the block, then place it on the press where it is past through transferring ink to paper.  Intaglio Printing: Intaglio printing is any print making process when the image area is below the flat surface of the printing plate.
