What font represents me


AvenirSP.png

I think that the font Avenir represents me because it is simple and nice. It's also very easy to read. It has many variations which can give a more decorative look or a very informative look. It is also very modern and geometric. This font has many different benefits and variations like me because my personality is dynamic and constantly adapting. This font was made in 1988 which was the year my brother was born by Adrien Frutiger, a famous typeface designer.

In debate club, which I participate in, we discuss solutions to hypothetical and real world problems. Some examples are government surveillance, ISIS military action, and police brutality. We usually have an initial bill which we make amends to. This helps to teach valuable skills on debating and the american legislative system.

What are the debates usually about?

What are examples of debate questions?

What is the benefit from this club?

This is the Nike logo, I find this enjoyable because it is very iconic and simple. It is also very symbolic because it represents victory, and Nike is the greek godess of victory. It's almost like someone and they checked something off the list. Now everyone recognizes the symbol because its on 9/10 shoes you see on the street.
BarCode
I think this Logo is very clever, it shows a play on words along with a very fitting graphic. the mug is a bar code and the mug would usually be at a bar. Most would assume the function of the logo just from seeing this, maybe it allows u to buy liquor on a credit card.

Portrait Transformation

Before
After
My concept for this transformation was my combination of city and rural life. I have a country house upstate where I took the snowy background photo. This became my best candidate for a combination of city and country life because most identify the city with its buildings. Also trees and hills are representative of country life. The picture I took of myself is of me wearing my city clothing which is different from the stuff I wear upstate. I think this all came together well to exhibit the contrast between city and country life.

Gif design project

1. While using photoshop, what was the most frustrating aspect of the program and/or project?
For me there was a tie between tweening and the organization of layers because redrawing 25 of the exact same thing was extremely annoying and tweening only one layer as opposed to all of the preceding layers was impossible.

2.  After completing the project, which tools do you feel most confident in using?
The eraser.

3. Which tool do you wish you were better at using?
The animation function, I was totally unaware that photoshop even had this. It could be easier to use than flash if you are trying to manipulate photos. Perhaps making more realistic looking animations.

4. What would you like to create next with photoshop?
As I said before I think it would be challenging but fun for me to make an animation using photos. This could be achieved by using the animation function in photoshop.

5. What is the final symbol's concept?
My final concept reflects the attitude of most during the recent ebola epidemic. The media has practically manipulated everyone into completely freaking out and fearing that this disease may be a precursor to an apocalypse, thus including the skull. I also found the symbol for a quarantine. Quarantines have been a big subject of controversy during this outbreak of ebola. In West Africa certain airports are closed and parts of towns are completely sectioned off. In America politicians are instituting very strict quarantines for all people coming from West Africa.
