I did this one in photoshop and I believe this one was successful because I believe I got the depth of the type of movie poster I was trying to make, with a lot of shadows it took about 15 pictures to create this piece, it took a full week to do this project considering I'm a perfectionist and I feel like I may have made some mistake while looking at it but It is still one of my favorite designs I've ever done and I'm impressed with how realistic it looks.
I did this one in Illustrator and I believe this one was successful because I looked up the artist's style and everything about him and I tried matching the background to his distinctive brand I feel like I was successful with that considering his style was very retro and some of his art had feelings of sadness because of the wars occurring that time-period. I copied this background he did for a Champagne and decided it was the best approach for this assignment.
I did this one on Illustrator and I believe this one was successful because after drawing 25 different designs this one spoke to me the most, I did have to do some editing and add some more things into it than it originally had but in the end, I believe this is one of my best logos the sparkles took the most time with copying and pasting it everywhere and making it into shapes for the letters, it was one of the most difficult parts of the assignment and it took me about 5 hours by the time I was done. I'm very proud of where it went and had it turned out.
I did this one in Illustrator and I believe this one was successful because I had to come up with what I believed what the brand would look like and visualize it and put it on an artboard and see if it came out exactly how I wanted it to go, I used a lot of gradient in here and experimented with a bunch of colors, I'm really happy with how all the gradients turned out and that the slogan is catchy.

I did this one on InDesign and I believe this one was successful because I wanted to get my pets involved with the Christmas spirit and have a Christmassy background to keep it festive, I photoshopped the back of my pets I'd say fairly well, I made this into 20 printed cards and had to make sure it was spell checked, colors were right, it was folded correctly and then creased right. It was very scary to think I would have to do it all over again but it turned out great!
I did this one on Indesign and I believe this one was successful because I had to make a project with how I see the word print which wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I had to photoshop and find 4 free stock photos of picture's that reminded me of the word print and then I had to make them fit the style and other artwork just right and have it fit on the artboard, I've tried it many different rotations and in different areas, lastly finding the white paper in the middle was the worst part considering I was it to be on a stock photo site and have it be plain. This is exactly what I think of when I think of print and I think I did a fantastic job making it and getting it printed.
I did this one in Illustrator and this is one of the cutest projects I've done. My goal was to make this calendar from the month my class started to the coming year. I wanted to make it look a little fancy with the font and a little festive so I put images with all the holidays I celebrate on there. This project got an A, and I'm very proud of how this assignment went.
I did this one in Illustrator and this was a project that took much thought for the color scheme after deciding what it should be I decided to use some dots to make it look easier on the eyes instead of letting it be a baby blue background with stars my idea was to have it be like a sky but with it not being as dark because I like to use color in my projects.
