Me in a nutshell

Ever since I was little, I have been interested in arts and crafts. Growing up, I was always busy crafting, painting, or scrapbooking projects of all sorts. I am pursuing design as a career because of this, I want to be allowed to let my creativity and imagination flow freely. I am inspired by everything around me, both by things tangible and felt. I hope to learn as much as possible about commercial and residential design, and learn to take on whatever challenges I am presented with.

Process Poster



This is a process poster for a room I designed. The poster reflects my journey from the initial inspiration which was a coyote skull, to the final 3D model. My poster is successful in showing each step along the way.

I designed the poster using Adobe InDesign. This was only my second time using the program and with more time on this poster, I would probably try to use grids to help make a better layout, as well as master a few other tools. The painting used for the background was a fairly small jpeg and when enlarged to 11x17 it became really pixelated. I tried fixing this up with the addition of a filter applied in Photoshop but the background is still blurry. Knowing this I would probably try to use a bigger image next time. I would also try to push everything over to the right just a bit because the content of the page is set more towards the left.

Everything on the poster is a reflection of my own work except for the background. The background is a painting done by Georgia O'Keeffe and can be found here at http://www.modern-art-reproductions.com/cgi-bin/modern.pl?fid=1019805793&cgifunction=form.
