Movie Poster

What I did good and what I could have done better:

I actually like how this movie poster turned out. It's a spoof/parody? of the actual poster and I wanted it to be or look funny. I think I did well with that. Here's the actual poster for comparison.

Project 21: Magazine


What I did good and what I could have done better:
I did really good I think with how the Magazine is designed and it's pretty close to the original thing but I think I could have done better with the red border on the bottom. I think it would have looked nicer if the red border on the bottom was pushed down a little.

Pre-Project 8

Project 19: Logo

What I did good:
I did good with the overall look of the logo I think. The colour and the font looks kind of taped together and a bit dirty which what I was going for.

What I could have done better:
I could have done better with fixing the little things like colour filling which I messed up with the 'G' if you look close enough

Pre-Project 6

Why  I like this movie poster:
- His eyes look like they're filled with emotion, which I think matches perfectly with the movie
- Simplicity
- text placement

What I like about this movie poster:
- How that bench is a somewhat big part in the movie 
- More simplicity 
- The photo and how it shows so little about the movie but then shows a lot after watching it

What I like about this movie poster:
- The characters are in the poster. But it doesn't look crowded
- Simplicity. Again. It's not filled or crowded looking
- The movie poster becomes a book cover later

Project 18: Deer John; the shirt design of the century!

What did I do well?
I think I did well by creating a shirt/sweater I'd buy. I think it's pretty funny too.

What I could have done better?
Well before I made this, I had more designs in mind, but didn't know how to make it look nice, so I ended up abandoning the project. I could do better by learning how to edit photos better.

Project 17: Photoshop: Business Card

I think I did good with everything overall. I could have done better with neatness though and I guess font colour.

Project 16


I learned to mask layers using Pixlr and also how to use more of the many tools. I learned how to to use gradient tool some more and also the fading and eraser tool. I could have done better with the placement and how it looks in general though.

Pre-Project 5

How to create layer masking with Pixrl:
A simple example to create layer masking on Pixlr is the one I have on top. I used 3 photos and 3 layers. To mask them, I put them on top of each other, used the masking tool, and then used the gradient tool to show the parts of the pictures I wanted.

Pre Project 4

I learned how to edit photos by using the crop tool to get the right size, the marquee tool to select the parts of the picture I want to edit, and  how to use the layers tab to keep track of my work. I also learned how to use the pencil tool, the brush tool, and the other art tools included in pixlr.com

Project 1

Project 1: Gmail: New Discoveries

  • Overview - Color coding: Gmail color codes the borders of the different sections of your mailbox. An example of this is your 'All Mail' section being surrounded by a blue border while your 'Spam' section is surrounded by a grey border.
    - Labels: The labeling system in Gmail helps you organize your mail in a kind of folder type to help make it easier to navigate through your mailbox. 
  • Labels
    - The labels again, are like folders for messages but better because you can add multiple labels to that one message so that you can really organize things the way you want. It is also color coded.
  • General Tabs
    - Personal Level Indicators: help you find out if the messages sent to you were only sent to you or others
    - Vacation Responder: automatically sends the message you pre-wrote to any messenger if the option is turned on
    - Keyboard Shortcuts: Helps you navigate your inbox and speeds up work flow 
  • Using Chat in Gmail
    - You could use Google chat or Aim
  • Web Clips
    - For web clips, you can have little headings/previews of websites on top of your mailbox. You could choose which websites you could have previews of too. 
  • Account Tab
    - In account tab, there is an option that allows you to send messages/mail from your account but with a different name. You could also link and retrieve mail from other accounts through this tab.
