Layout. blah blah blah...







I just finished making this assignment for one of my classes. the objective was to design a two page spread for a magazine. the title (no, i didn't think it up myself) had to be "Layout: principles of design 101 with the subheading layout means... blah blah. the text had to relate to layout in some way. the rest was up to us to decide what pictures, typefaces, and then the actual layout of the spread. Its not perfect, and there are some things about it that i will have to change before my portfolio review in the spring, but its 4:30 on a sunday and i think i want to go home now!

an art project



I
made
this

in my art class. i want to put the real pdf up here so that people can click the links that i made, but i don't know how. so, this is just a screen shot of the presentation i did. the assignment was to take a picture and 'draw' it 4 ways, black and white, flat color, full color with shading, and then full color put back into the original photo. i'm going to ask my professor to help me with posting the pdf...
