YEAR 2 GRAPHIC DESIGN
Infographic Assignment:
How Often Do I Use Air to Look and Feel More Confident?
we had to make an infographic based on a topic of our choice. my concept of air surrounded beauty, and how often we utilize and rely on it to make ourselves feel more “beautiful” (based on our unique definitions of the word). i tracked myself for a week of how i use air to better my appearance and make me feel more confident by hand drawing the symbols on the left.
Call to Action Postcard: 1 aspect of AIR.
sticking to the theme of beauty and, of course air, i decided to pivot to air gives us confidence specifically with out hair. a lot of people utilize air, specifically hot air, to “elevate” themselves when often times they’re just as beautiful or more so without it. moreover, it’s doing more damage than anything else, so this is a call for action to stop damaging your hair and your self-esteem.
this was hand drawn and manipulated in Adobe Illustrator.
Poster Assignment: Confidence Ted Talk.
we had to make a poster and motion elements promoting an event of our choice. i chose a ted talk held by “Alyssa Marie,” covering the topic of confidence with hair.
i hand cut people out of magazines, then further cut those people to only leaving the hair. the clippings were then placed strategically and the rest was further manipulated in Adobe Illustrator.
Ink Blot Assignment.
we had to create words from our AIR topic from ink.
Final Project: Cumulative Mini Zine.
to wrap up the semester, we had to create a mini zine of all the work we created in class. it had to be cohesive to our themes and each project had to be included somehow.
