InDesign Homework

First Tutorial 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eqhUFRlvgI


The video was easy to understand and the creator is a great explainer. I find the 'create guides' interesting so you don't have to use lines to make that. Also, you can right-click on either 'fit the frame proportionally' or 'fit the content proportionally' instead of having to go to the right side. It is quicker. I believe there is no hard tool since we covered many of them in class


Second Tutorial

This video is great too. Before he did anything, he showed us around and give us a brief introduction of what each side too. On the right side, when we click on pages, we can click the plus button so they can be two pages next to each other. If you could not find layers or anything on the right side, you can go to the windows button at the top to activate that. 

Third Tutorial

This one I would say very detailed. I believe it won't be great for beginners because of that but I also believe that it will be great once you get used to the basic stuff first. I like how he divided the videos into sections so we can go back to a specific part or if we are focusing on a specific part. I believe the paragraph styles, character styles, working with images, and some other parts are the ones we need to know for our future projects.

 Original Image: TV SHOW: Final Image: Artistic Statement: This was the most fun project I have done so far. It only took me an hour and thirty minutes. I picked stranger things because it is my favorite show. I loved this scene because this is the part where Eleven gets all her power back. I basically selected ' Select Mask' then I used the quick selection tool to highlight my figure as the part I want to keep. Then, I clicked on the brush with the minus sign so I can remove the background and any unwanted parts. Then, I went to adjust the brightness and contrast to make my picture's light and shade as close as possible to the movie picture. I also flipped the picture as the sunlight was coming from the left side. Finally, I posed this picture as if I were observing and looking around in the desert just like Eleven is doing here.

Animation

 Project: I had to redo this project because the first one did not work out. I was kind of nervous about this project, but when I watched some parts of the tutorial videos and just went ahead and gave it a try, I found it to be easy. I was trying to make that animation kind of related to my country, Egypt. In the beginning, I was trying to put and animate the pyramids instead of the camel but it was difficult because the pyramids are next to each other in almost all pictures. It would have been easier and better if each one was separated or far away, but I still decided to stick to something related to Egypt, so I picked this cute animated camel and some random desert landscape. You can also see my tag brush at the top.

  Artistic Statement Even though this was the longest project I have ever done the entire semester, I really enjoyed it. I mainly focused on three colors: yellow, blue and pink. Yellow is for the Adobe Illustrator, blue is for Adobe Photoshop and pink is for Adobe InDesign. I used some different shades in different pages to make it look more colorful and creative.  While I struggled a lot throughout the semester because I have never used any of those software before or had any knowledge in art and design, this class helped me with all of these. I believe I have strong foundation in all of those software, and I got better with design than I used to a long time ago. I will gladly maintain all what I learned and learn even more in the future. Not only because I enjoyed the process of learning new things but I also because I believe it is beneficial to know those graphic designs and software skills. Finally, it's because I liked and I got more interested in it..
