Week 13: Weekly Blog Post 9

Jaiden O’Brien   Sean Brennan   FMX 210-3   December 2 , 2024     As this class comes to a close with just two weeks left, we were introduced to our final project last Thursday: The Digital Course Portfolio. This portfolio will be a multi-page booklet displaying everything we've learned and created throughout the semester. Along with the portfolio, we were also introduced to the Multiplicity Project, which serves as extra credit and a fun challenge to wrap up our work.   The Digital Course Portfolio is essentially a collection of all the digital and creative projects we've completed in this class, organized in a visually engaging and structured way. Throughout the semester, we’ve worked through various phases of the creative and design process, learning how to use different Adobe software tools to create a variety of digital media. Now, it’s time to put everything together and present it in a polished, professional format. The portfolio will includ...

Week 12: Weekly Blog Post 8

Jaiden O’Brien   Sean Brennan   FMX 210-3   November 19, 2024     From last week to this week, I have come to complete the final part of this digital collage. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been steadily working through the assignments and meeting deadlines, all while taking feedback from the last class into account. After reviewing the suggestions, I adjusted to improve my images, layout, and overall composition to make sure my collage is as effective as possible, especially now that I’m transitioning to a new 10”x10” layout. The next step was to create a new Photoshop file sized at 10" W x 10" H. I started by opening my previous 8”x8” PSD file that I had used for earlier versions of the collage. Then, I adjusted the Canvas Size to 10” x 10” through the Image menu, making sure my collage now fit the new dimensions.

Week 11: Weekly Blog Post 7

Jaiden O’Brien   Sean Brennan   FMX 210-3   November 12, 2024   This week, we continued working on the progress of the digital   collage project. We have been given tips for creating strong collage layouts along with a guide to phase five deliverables. As we moved into p hase five of the digital collage project, it has become time to start sketching potential layouts for the  final composition. This phase is crucial because it allows you to experiment with the arrangement of your images before you dive into the digital assembly. By visualizing the collage in sketch form, it allows you   to explore different ways to position elements and create a more compelling final piece. We   had to submit eight sketches that explore different layout options for our digital collage. These sketches were  arranged on a provided 11x17 PDF template, with each of the eight boxes on the template standing for a different variation of the ...
