Final Blog Post

I really thought that Mr. Babcock was a great teacher with lots of detail oriented information. I learned how to use a vector pen much better and used indesign for the first time and really enjoyed it. There was an aweful lot of in class lecture time though, and I felt that it was more of a distraction than a help. The online recordings did help though. As far as assignments went I felt like they were useful tools for broadening our use of the medium. My favorite assignment was the book. I just wish there could have been color. The early time that the class started was a killer for me. I had the hardest time making it there on time. overall I think the class ran rather smoothly and kept us busy.

im going to take pictures of my electric guitar, acoustic's, and my amp. I will also lay out my guitar amp cord so that i can photograph it as well. Then it will run along the inner spine of my zine.

images for zine

The foreshortened guitar necks are for the cover. I like this style of graphic, kind of that heavy metal vibe. The anatomy ones are to show the consumer what to look for when buying.

my how too magazine

My how too magazine is going to be on, how too decide what guitar equiptment is good for the money or not and examples of brands that are magnificent. For the cover I would like too use a foreshortened view of the neck of a guitar. A continuous guitar chord throughout would be neat or a pattern of guitar strings. For colors I am going to try to stick to red black and white throughout. I am currently gathering images and finishing my layout.

Infographics

This is my plan for the infographics project. I plan to make a graph depicting the amount of sleep I get per night and how it effects my mood. Using sheep to show the mood with their facial expression.

My Made Letters

Can you read the visual story? I found the vector pen to be difficult at first, considering I had never used it before. My letters are a little wishy washy, but I enjoy the concept. Let me know what you think. thanks.
