Final Project- Resort


For our final project we were tasked with created our own resort. For the resort we had to create a creative brief, a web ad, a print ad, a magazine cover and a 2 page magazine spread. For my resort I created a space resort located in the Andromeda galaxy. In keeping with that idea I used type faces, images and illustrations to convey that. I used Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign and within each I used various tools to create all the pieces for the project. The images below are the final result.

Infographic

 For this week we had to create an infographic on a 13 in. x 9 in. art board using 6 facts about any topic. I decided to make mine using space facts since space is my favorite thing to talk about. I decided to use mine the long ways and put the facts going down in alternate directions. For most of the facts I used little images to go with the facts. For the Type I used was ConthraxSb-regular in white. For the background I created a nebula in Photoshop. Everything else was done in Illustrator.
This was the final result.

These are the sources that I used:

Logo and Business card Design

  For this assignment we had to create a logo and a business card. The logo had to be text based and include our name in some variation and job title. The business card itself had to include contact information and, if we wanted, images and other information that we felt was necessary. For both we had to create a creative brief and sketches.

Logo

For the logo I used T. Anderson for my name. My first color scheme was teal, navy, and magenta but when I got to the final iteration I used golden yellow, black, and white.  These are the references I used for the logo.




With the logo design I wanted to convey that I was an illustrator, liked comic books, am creative, a professional and a designer. These were my final 3 designs for the logo. The first one became my final logo design.

Book cover

For this assignment we wereally tasked with creating a book cover for Finding Nemo. We had to design the front, the back, and the spine. For the typography aspect of the assignment we had to think about readability and hierarhy among other things to insure an all around successful design. For my cover I decided to take inspiration from the scene from the movie where Nemo is in the fish tank and has to swim through the ring of fire. Using a warm color scheme I tied the text and the image together while keeping readability. For the title and author I used a sand serif font and for the text on the back cover I used a serif font. As a way to break up the images on the front and back I made the spine a different color.

Posters

    For this week we created mock posters for an event. Our task was to create a hierarchy with the test to show what was more important. We used Adobe Illustrator to create the posters. For this assignment the text was given to us. For these I used the colors for the actual Lollapalooza font and then played around with the colors for the other text and also played with font to make certain texts more important.
