Assignment #4- Typographical Higher Arches?


























Finishing this assignment was pretty much the bane of my existence. I enjoyed doing it fine enough but printing it off was a nightmare. For some reason the templates don't load right on my computer at home. Anyways, I finally got it done but it doesn't quite look like I would have hoped. Oh well. The last one is my favourite.

-Oh, and I'll never diet again.

Assignment #3





Well here is my shape assignment. I found it pretty interesting and fairly fun to do. One challenge I had was creating the low contrast with only black and white. I tried a couple different approaches and in the end I think they turned out OK. My favourite type to do was the asymmetrical one although I'm not sure why.

Week 2 of School

Well week 2 of semester 2 has started; not quite sure how I'm feeling about this semester yet. I think it might end up being quite a bit of work so hopefully I will be able to handle it. At least most of my classes seem fun. I had compositing today for 3 hours and as painful as it is to sit through 3 hours of lecture whilst torturing myself with 3D Studio Max (which I pretty much hate) it was a fairly interesting class and I learned how to make a ball destroy a brick wall. Pretty neat.

Introduction to Me

Hello. My name is Julie Bailey and I come from the Land of the Living Skies; Hazlet, Saskatchewan. Where is Hazlet you ask? It's near Verlo. Google map it, I know you want to. I am 2o years old and am in my third year here.
In my spare time I like to draw, listen to music, watch TV and movies and mostly just relax. I also play intramural volleyball and this semester I am going to try my hand at competitive dodgeball. We'll see how it goes.

I chose to major in New Media because I have always been interested in art and design and in high school I became very interested in film and video as well. A friend of mine was already majoring in New Media here and told me it would probably be right for me. I trusted her and here I am. Although I am nearing the end of the program, I'm still not sure what branch of the business I want to go into. Recently I have become more interested in design than anything else so I might try to pursue a career in that direction which is mostly why I am taking this course. I would really like to gain a better understanding of what makes compositions work and how to create them so that they are aesthetically pleasing to their mizzax.

I have experience in many different programs as they are required for the many courses we take. Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator, Premiere, Acrobat, Macromedia Flash, Director, Dreamweaver, some 3-D Studio Max (although I'm not very good with it), as well as others.
