Type by Rodolfo Rosales

  This is my painted self-portrait done in photoshop, as you can see that I did the background to make the painting a little more realistic since I even included the shading as an add-on to make the painting more realistic. I also used 3 different types of brushes for my painting. I used Brush tip 8 since it was a very small font so it helps when I need to make very small lines for the shading. Brush tip 123 to help color in the yellow background, my hair and my sweater color, brush tip 30 I used for the shadows, and brush tip 50 helped with the tiny backgrounds such as the keyboard or the door since it was able to color well. How I did the shadows was by lowering down the opacity from 100% to 60% since it blend in well. In total I used 32 layers to make this painting and each layer had a purpose for my painting , in total taking me I think 5 days to make. 

 

 My reason for this portrait is that I wanted someone who people who can recognize just based off his face and I choose the weekend since he has a very recognizable face that most people could point out

 

  Color for Designers What are pixels? The basic unit of programmable color on a digital display or image How is color viewed in computer monitors? Colors on monitors are viewed in RGB , Red , Green , and B lue to make the color white What is the additive color space? An Addictive color space is the white color that is produced by Red , Green , and Blue Describe which additive color sliders values in InDesign you would use to make white and black. InDesign has the tint slider to adjust the saturation of the color we want to use , black would be (C.75 M 68 Y.67 K. 90 ) while white would be ( R. 255 G. 255 B.255 )  What is the subtractive color space? Subtractive color space is where colors cyan , magenta , yellow , and black are produced in the pigment and paint Describe which subtractive color sliders values in InDesign you would use to make white and black. White is of CYMK is the absence of the color while black is (c.75 M 68 Y.67 K. 90 ) What is color calibration? To me...

 For my project I wanted it to be a list about stores to go in a certain part of New York called SoHo and that place in New York Manhattan , I made a list off what 5 stores are best in my own opinion to go if ever visiting Soho as you can see I chose 5 places , Uniqlo , supreme store , Dior , louis Vuitton and the North Face. These are the 5 places I enjoy to go to when I ever get the chance to go to Soho myself. 

 Gridded Concert Poster By Rodolfo Rosales  What made me want to make a Concert poster for drake is because he is an artist I like to listen too and if I were ever to become an actual graphic designer I would like it to be my job to actually make Drake an actual poster for him and the reason for the location is because that was the first place I could've thought of. As for the date I just thought of a random date and same with the features I just put artist he ahs Collab with before and for the 18+ I just added it to make it more believable or realistic.   

Hierarchy on Grid by Rodolfo Rosales  reflection :  For my first hierarchy on grid I was inspired to make it like symmetrical but also wanted it face opposite of each other.  reflection :  For the second gird I wanted to do the same but made it exactly the same since I only really had a 4x4 gird to work with. reflection :  The third one I made I made each side look the same but at a angle and put it at a side so it can differ from the other girds I have made   reflection :  I wanted the fourth gird to be more different each other so what I did was just make it different in a way since I can't make too much with 4x4   reflection :  For the 5th and finale gird I deiced to make it at random and it has no pattern or nothing is the same so everything in here is at random   

Hierarchy Exercises by Rodolfo Rosales Use bold type element(s) for contrasting weight For my first hierarchy exercises is it was use the bold type element and you will notice this isn't going to be the only time I will use the bold element but for this the main/central idea is the boldness and as you can see I spaced out each sentence and made them all small so the first sentence is more noticeable  Use scaled type element(s) for contrasting scale For my second hierarchy exercise it the task was that I need to use scaled type element and I use the scaled element to contrast on the rest of the other type and i tried to make look like if it gave a vibe of a pyramid but instead looks more like a vase and in my opinion I think it looks better   Use gray-colored type element(s) for contrasting color For the third hierarchy exercise all I need to use the color element and in my opinion I think it was the most easiest one to do and I made it the first line and bold so people no...

  for my first design I did a 4x4 gird and in each box of the gird I put a box of text in each one of them for my first design.    For my second design I had decided to do basically the same thing from my first design and just removed the middle with the same 4x4 gird so it looks like a box using the gird I have.  For my third design my thought of doing while making the gird is that I wanted to make an X using the gird I have made and I was pretty satisfied with my gird at the end.  For my forth one I decided to make a cross since I honestly couldn't think anything so I just went with a cross or dash.  For my final gird I went of the idea that only a few boxes of my gird was there and that only two boxes from each row would be filled with text and that's the patterned I wanted for my fifth and final gird to have this design.      

 What I have learned in type design class last year was that we looked at the differences of five different fonts of Baskerville font , Garamond (old style) , Bodoni (modern) , Slab Serif , and Sans Serif. What I also learnt during my time during InDesign we have learned how to rotate the words of letters on adobe InDesign and we drew the 5 classifications of the 5 fonts I named earlier
