Final Project DVD Cover

This piece was our open creative minds that she wanted us to create something for our selves or that we love. I love movies so I thought it would be fun to design a movie cover for a dvd case. I was first going with a Audrey Hepburn look or a recreate of her movie "Love in the Afternoon" and then I had thought a little more and my idea kind of faded from her movie into my own design of Love in the Afternoon and I decided to make another one that I made up. I was very happy with the outcome of this project the Love in the Afternoon Case I felt that turned out way better that the All About Jane case. The target audience was women of all ages looking for a romantic comedy and seeking some mystery. The call to action to get women to see the movie and to buy the movie. All photos in this project were taken by me except the one with the couple kissing that one I purchased from Istock Photo. I had fun with this project making sure everything turned out right and designing was the best part. 

Publication Ad

This piece was the publication ad. We were to get a quote from a magazine and find the specifications. My Full page ad with bleed was 8 1/4 x 11 1/8 with the live area of  7 1/2 x 10 3/8 and the 1/3 page ad with bleed 3 x 11 1/8 with the live area of 2 1/4 x 10 3/8. The target audience were women from age 17 and up, my call to action was to have the reader or audience to go to the web site or to the store to shop. This ad's purpose was to get women interested in winter fashion that Target will be carrying and to have women start thinking about winter shopping and fashion. 

Direct Mail ~ Variable Data Piece

This Piece was the Direct Mail Variable Data Piece that was to create a mail piece that had two different target audiences. At first this I had in mind that we were to make two completely different items. But we were just to make the same theme but two different targets. I choose to go with a day spa and target the stressed working woman and the signal lonely woman that needed a day at the spa. The specifications were an 8x5 post card, with bleed and margins. This turned out way better than my original ideas that I had came up with. This project I put more time into to make sure I got everything perfect and I am very happy with the final. 

WordPress Site~Promoting My Self

This is my word-press site overview, this site I created as a class assignment and to promote my own work and about me and how I am as a designer. I love designing and I love making new things and learning new ideas and ways to create something extraordinary. This word-press site took sometime to get the images and files up that I wanted. I'm not completely satisfied with the site but I'm working on it still and I am going to be making up dates as soon as I can.

This was our group site project that we created for the Pitt State Fencing Team. I had created the header and the buttons for the site, but David the president and founder of the club had designed the men for the site. I just put it together and gave it the look that he wanted. Robin had done the CSS styles and attached the links, Victoria had created the blog and the slide show of the pictures David had given us. David had collected the content for the web page. I actually liked this group project for once everyone did there part and we had no problems with anyone. I felt that I didn't really do much but all of us put our heads together and gave the Pitt State Fencing Club an awesome site.
