Selection

I started with clicking on the background layer and then I would either use the lasso tool or the object selection to select each object such as lemons, plates, or a bottle. I would either change the object with the hue selection, color balance, and brightness adjustment layer. I wold then clean up the lines by clicking on the adjustment layer and use the brush tool to clean up the lines.

I used the text djourney on Discord to get some on a path tool to align my words ideas. After that I took the best into the shape I wanted. After result from discord and I set it as everything was done I made two the template and made different more copies and used the recollaters for the shapes, lines, and or tool to make variations.

Social Media Campaign

For this project I took a logo I designed for a mexican bakery I made it and I made 5 artboards, each for an ad on different social media platforms and a magazine print.

I used the shape builder tool to help structure my ads and then imported an image and used the sections I made to make a clipping mask to fit the images to the shapes to add pictures to the ads of the products and made sure to make space for information in text.

Movie Poster For this project I took a png of the bathhouse that is in the background and while it already had the background transparent, I went and added a yellow glow affect in Photoshop to all of the blinds to make it look like the lights are on inside while it is night out. I then traced three characters

and

I

put their shapes inside each other in order to get the effect that I wanted in Illustrator. Finally I added some text like the director, the studio, the release date, and informing the public that the movie can be seen in Japanese or English inside of InDesign.

Summoner.Net

For the first parent page I looked up fonts for the titles of the articles and also making sure to add page numbers to the corners of the pages. I made a little sprite to be next to the page number and in the logo in illustrator. For the backgrounds of my articles I get them from google and make them more opaque in photoshop

to make sure any text I put on top of it will be readable. I duplicated the parent and changed the fonts and colors of the text to better match the different background on the second article.

Magazine

I was inspired by “Nintendo Power” Magazine from the 90’s so I made a similar type of magazine for another developer that I really like. I took images from sites and removed the backgrounds in photoshop to place then in InDesign, for any elements that I could not find, I would make it myself in Illustrator such as some of the

status effect icons. I used styles to format my body and titles and made sure that the works formed blocks of text. I did my best to give each page a style that represents something from the series I was representing.
