I didn’t go with the futuristic type font because the concept was cool for uppercase letters but could not be translated to lower case, and the same goes for the exaggerated serif typeface

Keywords: {0}

I went with the long and skinny theme for my typeface and the characteristic that I want my typeface to have is “playful, adventurous and youthful”.

The creative process of this project began with the Photo Collection assignment. Gathering photo’s I might use in my collage got me thinking about photo’s I’ve taken that would really speak about my character.

Each element contributes to the overall narrative of this blog because it’s pieces of my life that make me who I am today, tomorrow and yesterday. The pink and purple sky is from a photo I took of a sunset at Kent State. The skyline is a photo I took on top of a parking garage in Columbus, my hometown, and the middle photo is of me in Maryland this past summer.

I created this collage by first drawing out the vision I had in my head, making sure to outline each photo I wished to use and and labeling what photo goes where so I didn’t get confused when I started the Photoshop process.

Infographic about social media usage data.

Making an infographic was surprisingly fun, sort of like interior design but on a little scale. I never really thought about how many infographics are used everyday. They are on billboards, websites and even on social media/ Ironically, the infographic I made was on social media usage, specifically, how many people internationally use the social medias: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. Facebook topped the list with over a 1 billion users followed by Snapchat with 400 Million. Close behind is Twitter with 261 million and bringing up the rear is Instagram with 1 million. Facebook was created first of all of the sites included therefore it makes sense that it is the leader in number of users. However, Snapchat is the most recent and comes in second. This could be due to the booming popularity of Snapchat with the younger generations in all countries…

Recap of Guest Speaker Jake Buckingham

echance88's avatarErin Chance

Freelance videographer Jake Buckingham came to speak to my class on Monday, February 25, 2019. He gave us some advice about our future careers, and told us a little bit about his.

Buckingham fell in love with writing when he was younger and originally wanted to be a meteorologist. So, he went to school for a broadcasting degree at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

While in school, Buckingham got a job at Channel 6. Then, he got an internship at ABC News Magizine in New York. He said that he did a lot of things there like writing, photography, and videography. While he was there, he said that social media had just started becoming big, and it created a place for people to give feedback to their work.

After being in New York for a while, Buckingham came back to Omaha to work at the University of Nebraska Medical…

leedanielhughes's avatarL.H. Advertising

Graphic design is a creative aspect of communicating information, ideas and solution through the art of imagery and lettering.

Fifteen is a great example of a graphic design agency that has a profoundly large team of creatives. They have covered this topic in an exceptionally informative blog they made 2 years ago.

The working conditions for graphic design would typically be designing a variety of ideas and products such as websites, packaging and advertising, the process of this work would involve long periods of working on a computer. The environment in graphic design would be studio/office based if working in an agency or home based if freelancing, travel would usually be required when meeting clients.

What is the difference between in-house, agency and freelance?

In-houses are teams within large organisations, for example, publishers, retailers, universities, packaging companies and banks. They benefit from higher salaries and easier internal progression but have…
