It explains the functions and how to use the basic tools on Adobe InDesign. First, they went over how to create a new file and adjust the size of the page, the margins, and the bleed. Next, they discussed how to make and switch layers, as well as the properties functions. Then they went over the selection and move tools and what they are used for. Lastly, the video explains how to use the text box tool and how to adjust the colors to shapes or writing on InDesign.  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RXRT3dHu6_o" title="YouTube v...

Business Card Sketches: Business Cards: Artist Statement: I created three person business cards using Adobe InDesign. I did this by creating three layers and adding color to my background layers. Next, I went onto my first layer and placed my logo onto the business card. Then, I went onto my third layer and put my name, phone number, and email using the text tool. For the back of my business cards, I added color to my background layer, and then placed my tag brush in different locations.   

This is a postcard for Spain that I made on Adobe InDesign. I placed images of Spanish beaches, and used the Text Tool to add the phrase "Spanish Beaches". I used the selection tool to move around the images of the beaches and organize them on the front of the postcard. Next, I added another horizontal page and used the line tool to add the lines for writing. I also used the brush tool to add my tag brush, and added a wavy line around it. Lastly, I used the text tool to add the words "Spanish beaches" to the top of the page.  Business card sketches:  

 Original Image: Final Animated Gif:  Artist Statement: I created a GIF of a dog wagging his tail. I used Adobe Photoshop to do this. I created and duplicated layers to draw the different tail positions. Next, I added the frames to the timeline, and hid different layers at different times to make it look like the dog's tail was wagging. I also added frames of my tag brush and the credits at the end of my animation. 

 Here is the original image: Here is the image of myself before editing: Final image: Artist statement: For my somewhere project I photoshopped myself into my favorite tv show, Bob's Burgers. I used Adobe Photoshop to insert the still frame from Bob's Burgers. I then hid the base layer before embedding the image of myself. Next, I used the quick selection tool to create a mask of myself. After that, I used the clone stamp tool to blend myself into the background. Lastly, I used the brush tool to put my tagbrush in the upper left hand corner. 

This image would be hard to photoshop yourself into because Kirby is pretending to touch the other person in the photograph. This is more difficult than just photoshopping yourself near another person.  This image inspired me for the somewhere project because it was taken on a safari, which is something that I have always wanted to do.  This set of images made me laugh because that is obviously not what he meant when he wanted to look less like a child.  I think that this image would be cool to recreate because I like the idea of playing with depth by making something small look larger that it really is. 

 Artist Statement: My calligram project depicts my future self on her way to work. My dream job is to work as a public relations practitioner on a political campaign, and that is what I wrote about in my letter. I created the calligram on Adobe Illustrator. I put my sketch of my future self on a layer, and then on a separate layer I used the pen and curvature tools to outline the image. Next, I used the Type, Type on Path, and Area Type Tools to add the text from my letter over the path that I created. Lastly, I deleted the layer with my original sketch.  The Calligram:  The sketch: My letter:  Dear future self,  I am currently a freshman at the University of Tampa, and loving it. I have made some amazing friends here, and I hope you are still close with them. I am studying political science, advertising and public relations. I really want a job working for a corporate public relations firm, or for a political candidate. Is that what we ended up doing? I just we...
