My memory book

This is my beautiful memory book that I created on indesign and photoshop. 2013 has been a great year for me and so I really was looking forward to putting many great things into my memory book! My russian heritage has influenced me greatly in my life, and so I wrote my name in russian also on the front. Then I decided to open the book by placing my reflection over 2013, then I followed that by placing nice graphics of my friends, hannah, michael, hallie, alyssa, megan, and josh. Then i gave you a more detailed intro of my life by adding the troupe page, which is an acting group i go to after school, and then after that I placed the projects I had done on the next page. Then I put things that I liked a lot, which were my two cats and russia and molang. Those two pages complemented each other and were the center of my book. then I placed the signature page at the back, as with all yearbooks, and then I finished with a little russian goodbye, to give one final salute to the russians. thats all that i have to say :) thanks! I had a great year!

Interview

This project was really fun also! I liked creating and adding the text and pictures all at once. Then placing them was very simple and changing the text sizes and placing was fun too. I hate the color scheme though but I guess it's supposed to look cheesy? I dont really know but this was really great and the coolest part was placing the silhouette in front and making her be in front of the words.

Eco Poster

This is the beautiful Eco poster that we had to do! It was really fun and easy but there were just so many steps it took a really really long time! I changed the kerning and the size and paragraph spacing in most of the page, and I added columns and color. I didnt really understand why the 'green' wasnt green but orange. but that's ok! I really like this project because it was fun and easy.

De motivational poster

This is the poster that I made in indesign! All I did was make the XPLORATIO part smaller and further above the E and N and then I added a line to fill that gap between them. then I added a small one at the end of the second and third bars of words (the ones in white)

Scrap book Template

This is my beautiful sea-themed scrapbook template that I created. First I found a suitable background picture, shell pictures and then I found some nice sea-themed picture frames that would go nicely with this. I then got a picture of sandpaper and erased part of it so it looked like sand (I used a soft brush with low opacity). Then I placed my shells onto there and added a nice drop shadow. Next I placed the picture frames and added a similar drop shadow. Now the pictures were in place but they all had different shades and hues. so I created several hue&saturation layers plus a few curve layers to get all of my pictures looking like they came from the same image. So that is how I created this wonderful backdrop.
