For my map info-graphic, I decided to do the northern part of Grand Island. I went with the blue and yellow colors to match the Grand Island School’s mascot. The hardest part of this entire process, was getting the right shape for Buckhorn Island State Park.
Here is my rendition of the Oat Apple Pie Spice Creamer container. The second I read apple, I thought of the color red so I instantly wanted to use a variety of red shades as the pattern. Besides that I just found some vector images from the site that was given that I thought looked nice. Overall, there isn’t much to say about the decisions I made. I took the advice of my peers and fixed the logo for the carton and changed the text to white, so that it would be easier to read with the darker background.
Here is my image composition based on the pictures that I touched up from Project 1. I decided to make it a “fan-made” picture rather than a realistic image composition. The hardest part of this project was coming up with the idea. All of the pictures I had were pretty blurry because it was a live concert and there was smoke and other things ruining the quality of the pictures. A clearly fake looking concert was really the only option I could take without producing a bad composition. Besides that, the actual making of the composition wasn’t too rough. Be sure to check the name of the fake Facebook profile that I made. I got a couple laughs out of that one.
This Wednesday I went to the Kiss Concert. The show was great, with awesome music and cool stage effects. I felt that this would be the best topic to use for my project 1 gallery. I chose at least one picture for every part of the concert; from start to finish. However, the pictures shown aren’t in chronological order. The hardest part of this project for me was to get good enough quality pictures to touch up. By the end of the concert, I had roughly 50 pictures and videos to choose from. Unfortunately, many of them were unusable, due to the poor quality. There are still even a couple that I had to use, that were not the quality I wanted. One major cause of this was all of the smoke from their indoor fireworks display. Leaving the stadium was like driving through fog on an early morning. If I were to do this project again, I would probably avoid any event that will smoke up the stadium.
