Graphic Design Manifesto

 
 
There is a reason why this document was so important for me and other Graphic Designer.  It gives us credit for what we make instead of what we are advertising.  Even at my age, I know it is important because it gives me oppertunitys as a Graphic Designer. It shows I can  create something not for money but for just a chance to show what it is I can do.
 
 
My abilitys and knowledge that I can in with when I started Graphic Design has increased since I started.  I learned that there are different areas in which graphic design is done.  For example, I didn't know what Enviromental Design was and now I have a good understanding of it.  My abilitys have grown since I started too.  I knew how to photoshop but through having Graphic Design I have learned how to create or do interesting things with photos by just following a turtoial.  I can say that this class will help with future computer classes and helps me understand what to expect in a future job.  As it is, I wished there was a adavanced Graphic Design class avaible to take.

Music on the Mind

For my final project we had to create an example of photo manipulation.  I decided to use a photo of myself and make it look like text.  I got the idea from a tutorial I found online.  I thought it turned out pretty well.  The text I used was the chorus from a song I like.  It makes it look like I was made out of words.  And overall I am happy with how it turned out.  It's a tad hard to read the words but I still like it anyway.  It may not be the best example of photo manipulation but it was one of the things that came up when I searched for it online.
