Vector Practice

This is my first time vectoring a photo without live trace and I'm happy with the results.

Now that I know how, I'll be doing more of these soon.

Interactive Project

For my interactive project, I decided to make bookmarks that you can write on to keep notes about the book you are reading.

Personally, I have a rather hard time keeping up with some books that have a lot of character names in them. It's confusing and you have to go back to some pages just to remember who those people are. But with these bookmarks, you can write notes on them as the story progresses so you don't have to keep scanning back to keep track of people. You can write anything on them and keep each bookmark unique with each book. After finishing the story, you can rate the book and also keep the bookmarks to keep track of all the books you've read.

Postcard Project

1. The first important item is my phone. I can't go anywhere without it because I really like texting and I also use it to listen to music. It has multiple purposes and it keeps me in touch with other people.

2. Next is my laptop. Without it, I wouldn't be able to make this project. It has games and applications that I use to enjoy and also for academic purposes. I bring it with me whenever I know I'll stay in school for a long duration.

3. My ballpens are also an necessity. Even if I am not going to school, I make it a point to always carry one around whenever I go somewhere. The bad part about this is that I tend to misplace them. This is why I buy a lot of pens.

4. My dad bought me these Adidas shoes. I'm not really a shoe person but I have grown fond of this pair. It is light and very durable and I wear it almost everyday.

5. The last object on my list is Yakult. I've been drinking this since I was a little boy and even until now, I haven't grown tired of its taste. Plus it has good bacteria and is healthy for our bodies. I drink this every week or whenever my mom buys a pack.

Poster Portrait Project

What She Is

This is my friend who I gave 100 observations about. After reading the observations, I think that these few words I placed in the poster really describe her well.  The color scheme is quite fitting because it gives off a feeling of happiness which is something that she finds important in her daily activities and the font I used fits her bubbly and feminine personality. This is just a simple photo edit, but this is the method that I think captures her personality because she may seem like a simple girl at first, but once you get to know her well, she's fun to be around with.

Typograhical Poster Project

This is my submission for today's project. I chose this design for the typographical poster because it fits with the quote that I have which is "just get there". These three words describe me in a sense that I'm not the type of person to really make plans. Sure I may have some sort of outline for what I'll do for the day, but I'm not one to really follow it to the dot. 

I am a very spontaneous person and I sometimes rush into things easily. But at the end of the day, as long as I can be able to say that I did something right or that I accomplish a set goal, then I don't really care about how I did the process. I am able to adjust to things quickly and I don't get irritated when my plans don't go the way it should.

I'm not saying that the end justifies the means, but rather that for me, I may complain a lot or do things differently, but I can still be able to reach my goals.

100 Observations Project

100 observations of one person for a day. I had a really hard time thinking of how to organize a hundred entries without making a boring list. I ended up with forming my subject's name using all the observations I did.
