Typography Blog Post


  • What is your typography piece about? Why did you choose this subject?-- My typography piece is about duck poems and things of a duck like the feet and beak. I choose this subject because I love ducks and I really really want one!
  • Did you choose specific words for your piece? Why did you choose the words you did? -- I really wanted to have poems about ducks just because right at first I didn't know what to do but then I thought about it and thought that I should have poems just because when you think of poems you don't usually write about ducks so I wanted something that most people wouldn't know and then my whole duck would be filled with duck poems!
  • This is a tedious process, be honest! How are you feeling about typography now that your done? Hate it? Enjoying the final product? Was it worth your time?-- At first I didn't like it because it frustrated me a lot but then Tiffany helped me out a little bit and it started to come together better with me knowing what I was doing. It was actually really cool because it looks like a duck when you take away the picture and I thought that was pretty awesome.
  • What might you try different next time?-- Different types of words in there, poems, songs, words that I think go with the topic and then a really cool picture to do it with! Also I would look over the end piece and make should I didn't leave any random letters anywhere like I did with this one.

Two Favortie Portraits


I really like this portrait because this really fits Haley's personality because she LOVES donuts and she is hiding some of her faces from us so it is like she wants them but wants to hide that she wants them, which she does sometimes.

I like this one because I like the background of it and the lighting, also the fact that she is in black and white and then the fruit loop is in color. She looks happy and it portrays her personality as well.

iKatherine

 
My theme is iKatherine because I was in the CNA program last year and now I'm in the health occupations this year and I thought I could use things in the classroom to use for this project. So I used Katherine to model them.
Why did you choose these poses? - I chose the pose with her just standing there with the heart because it can represent a CNA or a nurse teaching someone about the heart. Standing there and pointing out things. I chose the other pose because CNA's listen to the heart beat a lot and we had a baby doll in the room so I had her use it.
Why did you highlight the details that you did?
I highlighted just the heart so you could tell what it was and then I highlighted the blankets and the stethoscope and the dress just so they would stand out and you could tell what she was doing.
