InDesign Tutorials - My Top 3 Favorites

InDesign Tutorials~My Top 3 Favorites~

Hello!! If you are glancing through my blog post, then this is a post to inform you that this is the first time I am trying out InDesign. I have used many of the applications included in creative cloud and as of right now my favorite is Photoshop. Every day I look up YouTube videos to create amazing visuals and learn how to edit my photos in a professional manner. InDesign is very different from Photoshop, yet so similar at the same time. I am super excited to learn how I can use this tool towards different projects and ideas that I have in mind. Stay tuned for my business card. 

Also, below are a few tutorials that I enjoyed watching to prepare myself for what I'm diving into!!

Photoshop - Somewhere

Image
Photoshop ~Somewhere~ Somewhere, a place that we were asked to place ourselves. The purpose of this piece is to put ourselves in an area that we would love to be or haven't been. Above, is either a picture that was taken from a drone or a helicopter. Accurately, this photo captures the NYC Marathon runners. I chose this photo because I want to one day run a marathon. As a retired student-athlete, I love competing and training for a goal.   Above is the picture I chose for myself. I had a friend sit on top of their car and take this for me with their iPhone. We both thought it was a great idea to run with the sun beaming down on my right side to create the correct running shadow. I chose to use an iPhone for capturing this to match the blurry effect as much as possible. I will say I enjoyed choosing this for my first somewhere experiment because it wasn't overly challenging. It allowed me to focus on the small details of masking with photoshop and using the ad

Illustrator CC - Self Portrait- "Be True. Be You. Be Kind."

Illustrator CC - Self Portrait "Be True. Be You. Be Kind." I believe mantras inspire and give confidence to people so they can do or become whatever their heart desires. Furthermore, mantras have the ability to bring together large groups of people for one common goal.  For my self-portrait propaganda poster, I chose the quote “Be True. Be You. Be Kind.” because it personifies who I am. This mantra was first told to me by my mother right before the beginning of my sophomore year. It has stuck with me ever since. Self-confidence is something that many people struggle with on a daily basis, because of their inability to “ignore the noise.” Too many people are told they look ugly, are fat, or have something else wrong with them. Those negative words can destroy individuals with very little self-confidence. Being true, being you, and being kind gives people the confidence they need to ignore the noise and simply be happy with who they are. I believe everyone is perfectly

InDesign - Business Cards

Image
InDesign ~Business Cards~ For this project, we were asked to create three business cards through InDesign while incorporating the previous logo we made in Illustrator CC. The three layouts I designed are below! Business Card 1 - Front Business Card 1 - Back For this first card, I wanted to keep the layout clean and sleek while still being creative. I didn't want my logo to be on the front of my card because I felt as though it would be too cramped. Therefore, I chose to keep the front, simple and sleek while still maintaining the design. Also, the footprints guide the viewer's eyes to the edge of the card, which would cue them to flip it over to find my information. Honestly, this is my favorite design out of all three. The colors are calming and arent too harsh on the eyes. Business Card 2 - Front For the second business card, I wanted to create the second version of my first design. I love cool-toned colors and wanted to emphasize the camer
