6 columns on 2 page spread reflection


So for this 2-page spread project I originally struggled on what images I should choose to wrap the text around but eventually I decided on doing a sort of mid 80s-90s car magazine as all the cars you see here are from that time period. the part i struggled with the most was the wrapping of the text around the images, especially the Porsche 928 (Which is on the very left column) and the Ford Sierra Cosworth (Which is on the 4th column if you're reading from left to right) as I wasn't able to figure out how to get that small chunk of text on top of the cars gone

Society of Illustrators at 128 East 63rd Street, Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, NY 10065 Trip Reflection

Image
 To summarize, my experience in the trip was great. especially in the Character Design workshop where we learned how to fold and make a zine (pronounced zeen) which is a small book consisting of 8 pages (including the cover), also we learned how to make character turn arounds which involves drawing a sort of target on which ever part of the face depending on the position of your character and then you draw the eyes and the rest of the face.  This is what the Zines look like This is what I meant by "character turnarounds" and "targets" Anyways moving on from the Character Design I took a pic of some designs that really caught my interest (about 14 but i will only show 2 because why not) The text is sort of unreadable because the original image was blurry. I tried using the unblur feature my phone had and its still quite unreadable. If you still cant read this, it says: Medium: Ink crayon, handmade stamps, paper collage. digital Imprint: Alfred A.

Gestalt Principles on Grid

Image
  Figure Ground Symmetry   Similarity   Proximity  Alright so we are back with doing Gestalt Proximity but we are doing it on grids this time, honestly, I think I put little effort into the work except maybe the second design, for the First design, I did sort of a "yin-yang" design, I have nothing else to say its quite bland. Anyway for the Second design, I clearly did Symmetry, I even went a little further and used the 'gutter space' as Adobe InDesign calls it to write the word "symmetry", I am quite happy with this design myself. For the Third design, I did Similarity where some of the text in the boxes would be bolded and form a T-shape, you could also consider this as Figure-ground. Finally, for the Fourth design, I did proximity where at least 2 grid spaces would space out all of the text boxes.

300ppi VS 72ppi Resolution

1. What is the difference between 300ppi and 72ppi? The difference between 300PPI and 72PPI is that 300PPI is higher resolution, You are cramming more pixels into an inch. Hence the PPI which means Pixels Per Inch 2. Why is that important for the graphic designer doing print projects? It's important for Graphic Designers as when you try to increase the size of a 72PPI to fit the layout of a magazine or poster, It looks like a pixelated mess which hurts to look at. Whereas if you try to resize a 300PPI it won't look that bad, Sure it will start to look a little pixelated but it would still be pleasant to look at. Well, there might be a situation where 300PPI is too big for your project layout so you can decrease the size and it would still look great overall. 3. Why is that important for the web designer doing websites?  It's equally important for Web Designers, But you also have to be careful, if you insert an image that's too big such as a 1000PPI image your Website wi
