Project 1: Welcome to Miko’s

I am glad the first project was to create a menu. It was the perfect entry to print design. During the first project I learned about character styles. I will probably never get the hang of that at all. Even from last semester I still couldn’t get a hang of paragraph styles and character styles. […]

Project 3: Times New Roman

For project 3 I explored the history of one of the most famous typefaces in history. Times New Roman was created by Stanley Morison. He did not know how to read or write for a long time before he realized that he like typefaces and wanted to create his own. What was easy about this […]

The Finale: Project 4

It is now the end of the fall semester. Again. This definitely will not be the last time I post on this blog because I got one more semester before I graduate from Canisius. This final project was a roll over from the the third project. During the project I learned how to put the […]

Project 2: The Mask

I have always loved Jim Carrey and the way he really gets into the character. Every character he has ever played has always had a mischievous personality or playful comedic personality. For this project I decided to take that idea and use it in the film The Mask which Jim Carrey stars in. Every time […]

Project 2: Making a Better Netflix

For my final project of the semester I came up with the idea to have a Netflix recreation where you have a friends list and can see what your friends might be watching as well. The app is called Clique playing of the sound when you click a mouse and also a group of people. […]

Project One: The CRM

For my first project of the semester I focused a lot on making the design very consistent with the colors and typography. For the overall app and its functions its a very basic user interface. I did not know what to create specifically I just wanted to get the basic idea down on how CRM […]

Project 2

During project 2 I learned a lot about colors, blending them together and why some colors do not go with others. The easiest part about this project was probably blending the colors together. When I figured out how to blend the colors together and how to saturate and de-saturate colors the shapes came together. The […]

Project 1: Twinkling Stars

For project one I learned about Gestalt theory. Which is basically seeing objects in there simplest form but in different ways. There are six principles for this theory which are; similarity, continuation, closure, proximity, figure ground and repetition. This was not an easy thing to do with a nurse rhyme. It was six lines but it […]

Project 4: The Endgame

We are here. We have reached the endgame. So sad 🙁 During this project I learned that being a kid is so easy. I remember doing something similar to this in kindergarten and how easy it was to just draw freely and remember every place in your area by heart. This project had to be […]
