We've been working on a new project for about two weeks. It is our Top Ten posters. We were introduced to in design. To begin we had to look up and sketch some concept grids that we liked for our poster. I really liked a lot of the simple ones like shown. I ended up going with my own design, where the text is always right of the photo. I pulled my grid and made it in in design. Next I found all the photos. The first few (Fullmetal Alchemist, Google Chrome, 3DS) were easy. All I had to do was throw them in and center them. For music I could not decide who I wanted to be my image, so I took a picture of Marina and a picture of Nicki Minaj, and I cut both in half so that it could be one photo with both of them, while maintaining a good size. For my cosplay and horse photos, I had to edit it out, so the main focus was the cosplay and the horse. With my picture of my dogs, my friends, and my family, I had to correct the colors quite a bit. They were dark, and you could hardly see anything. But they look a lot better now. The color design I picked was because it is pretty like me. The filler photos were picked to match. After i set the background I had to set the fonts. for the heading (in pink) I downloaded the free font "Baby, you're a star". I really like how pretty it is, and how it relates to me. for the subheadings (in blue) I used the font "Letter Gothic Std". It fits in well with the simple theme, drawing attention, but not distracting. For the body I used PT Serif. Its simple and easy to read.
