Intro: 
For this assignment, I photographed the pattern on my dogs bed. I used tools in indesign such as the "eye dropper" and "rectangle tool". I used the eye dropper tool to capture the exact color from my image. Then I was able to change the tint to make it a lighter % than the original color.

Task 1: Photograph
Originally I had an image of my dog but since she is mainly one color (brown) I opted for something more colorful and decided to use a picture of her bed which is mainly pink shades.


Task 2: Swatches
Once I had my image in indesign I used the eyedropper tool to pull the exact same color from my image. I was then able to make squares and fill the square with the colors I pulled from the image, making sure that there was no border around the squares I made. I put all of the squares next to one another and then adjusted the colors. The far left is the original colors, the middle is set to 75% and the far right is 50%.


Task 3: Nameplates
Lastly, I used the same colors and created nameplates that tell a little bit about me. I used all 3 colors in each nameplate. I already have something similar to this on my Linkedin cover photo, I actually used the heading of my resume which includes my name, email, cell number, and town. I am not sure if I would consider this for my Linkedin profile because its so bright, but its always good to have it as an option.

a) This commercial communicates well with hearing-impaired audience members because, it teaches the importance of communicated with the deaf. The deaf community is large and it is important to learn sign language to communicate with those who are hearing impaired. This commercial shows that Marriott goes the extra mile for all of its customers, especially those with disabilities. Using sign language throughout the commercial shows us this.   b) The commercial does a really great job communicating and being able to communicate with the deaf community. The deaf community has an advantage in this commercial because the women are signing words and conversations that aren't subtitled for hearing people.   c) The commercial does nothing for visually impaired people. The majority of the commercial is just instrumental music until they say “Treating other like we’d like to be treated, has always been our guiding principle.” A visual impaired person would be able to unders...

Post #2: Aesthetics

Below are the best 5 images that I took that fall under the categories of negative space, lines, contrast within the subject matter, framing, and angle.   This is an example of negative space because of the empty background and all of the white that is shown. Still using the same plant, I used a background with horizontal lines .  The horizontal line are from a woven basket in my bedroom.  This is an example of contrasting subject matter . Both the background and floor surface contrast the leaves and pot of the plant. The white fur background is from my living room rug which I propped up as a background for this picture. Using my ring I framed  the plant in the distance. I changed the angle of the camera and photographed the plant from above.

Blow Post 4

Photo Story layouts are important because pictures tend to be the first thing someone notices before reading an entire article or all of the text. Having a confusing photo story can cause readers to skim through or completely skip the piece all together. I think this is a great example because you can clearly understand the image on top is the main image not only because it is first but because it is also the largest image. The next two images are one above the other which makes is easy to understand the order or images. It seems as if the main image has a caption and the bottom two have one under the last picture as well. This example is the worst in my opinion.  I think its confused in the sense that the second image is largest. If it's the main image why isn't it first? It makes me think that the top image isn't really important. The text is also all the way down at the bottom right which makes it seem unimportant and off to the side. There is also very minimum ...
