E-COMMUNICATION SEMESTER FINAL

During the last week of the graphic design rotation, we worked on our semester project, a website. We used DreamWeaver to create a website that would show our best projects so far in e-Communication. On the websites home page, we wrote an elevator speech as well as a bio about ourselves that explains why we chose e-Communication as well as other interests and passions we have. I chose a darker/pastel color scheme. I used a floral print as the background. And since there was a lot of dark blue and pink I decided to use a green as the text body and the text in white to contrast the darker green. Lastly I inserted my favorite projects from this semester that were my logo as well as the e-Communication commercial I made first quarter. 

LEARNING TO USE PHOTOSHOP

The first project we made was just a simple overlay over an image. This project was very easy and simple. All we had to do was simply to adjust the opacity of the text as well as the images.

The second project we created was a colorful butterfly. This project was definitely harder than the other one since it was hard to use the clone stamp tool on the wings. We started by recoloring the butterfly by adjusting the hues. Then using a new tool, the clone stamp tool, we adjusted the wings to make it look like it was in motion.
The third project we made was a text mask. We used the text mask tool to type the words NORTHWEST over an image of our school. Then we applied a gradient to the outside of the text. This project was very similar to the first project and was the first time I used the gradient tool.
