How to Use Abode InDesign CC for Beginners|5 InDesign Tools You HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT

I thought it was very interesting how unlike a Word document you are able to go outside of the margins and add whatever you would like wherever you would like. Overall the basic layout when it comes to text is very similar to what we have previously worked with in Photoshop and Illustrator. The tools on the left side of the screen also are very similar to the previous programs we have used as well. The video provided the basics on how to embed text within the page. The greater took a very long time to get to the point and since I have worked with similar programs the explanation of the tools and their purpose seemed very repetitive.

The clipping mask option is very interesting to me because it reminds me a lot pervious programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop. I really like dhow you could make a random snap and have the image fill the shape so easily. I really enjoyed this video because it showed so many practical applications of this program. From creating company business cards all the way to creating cook books InDesign can be used. before this video I was unaware of all the different applications that InDesign could be used for. Overall, the video was very engaging and made me very interested in what we will be using InDesign for. 

Masking with Exclude Overlap InDesign Tutorial

The creator went in depth on explaining how to scale text without losing its original shape and look. The text was the converted to outlines so the background color could be replaced with the outline of the text. Using the place option under file the creator embedded a photo into the background of the image with the text untouched. I thought this video was very helpful and showed me how easy it it to embed picture to fill text.

Autoscopy

Image
 AUTOSCOPY The term autoscopy is derived from the Greek words "autos" (self) and "skopeo" (looking at). An autoscopy is a self-portrait with alternations to represent oneself or an experience. Within my autoscopy I included many space elements, specifically earth and different images of the galaxy. My final composition is composed of 4 images, my image, earth, a purple galaxy, and an orange galaxy. Each image has a hue/saturation alternation along with an opacity change. The inspiration for this piece came from an image where a galaxy was embedded into a woman’s face. This gave me the idea of incorporating space into my autoscopy. The first thing I did was isolate my face and body from the original image. From there I change the hue and saturation of myself. To add more detail to my face I then isolated my lips, changing them to a blue color. I wanted myself to have a cool saturation to represent Earth in a way. I then embedded a picture of the galaxy into the backg

Somewhere

Somewhere-Dolphin Tale For my image I choose to put myself in one of my favorite childhood movies, Dolphin Tale. Winter's passing inspired me to photoshop myself into the movie and replace one of the main characters Hazel. Winter served as an inspiration as she learned to swim with a prosthetic tail after she was injured from a crab trap rope. Although Photoshop is not my favorite Adobe platform, I had a lot of fun with this project. After using all the methods we have been taught in class, everything started to come together. Overall, the hardest part of the whole project was including my tag brush on Sawyer's shirt.  Originally, I wanted to find a photo from the movie where more of the cast was in the photo however the images I found where not high enough resolution or displayed what I had in mind. I decided the photo with the three main chapters was very fitting for this project because it wasn't too busy and included all the aspects of the movie that I loved.  Modeling

Business Card

 Business Cards  ·         For my business cards I decided to stick to the color scheme of my original logos I created on Adobe Illustrator. I believe that business cards are very important because they represent my "company", very similar to how the logo represents me as a person. The business cards I created converts important personal contact information, but it also would be the first exposure that a customer sees of my "company", so it needs to be compelling. For my first business card I decided to keep the theme of the four-leaf clover and created a green ripple effect as the background and have my name in a fun font. For my second business card I wanted to create a more official business card look that looks more professional. I used grey and black colors to get the high-end look. For my final business card, I went for a more retro look. I included the same colors of the purple and the green in the original logo. I also included different png's to show wh
