Topic Website - KC Mac n' Cheese


The main idea of making this project is for me to get a broader perspective of using Dreamweaver, as well as all the features it has that can embed a video, graphic, menus, and certain rollover images.

When I first started this project, I thought of making a website about Broadway or Photography, one of my many hobbies after school. In the end, I decided to go with something that made me happy and I could find plenty of information on. Along the way, I learned many new ways to add in coding, different color schemes, plenty of new information on Mac n' Cheese, and embedding images and videos.

Next time, I might try to find a better place to put the side bar so the website looks more natural, as well as changing the background on the sidebar. I really liked how I made the logo, and I tried to make it in a Mac n' Cheese shape, but ended up choosing a fun font to incorporate the feel of fun and lovable Mac n' Cheese. I also really liked how I did the background around the whole thing with the transparency, except maybe I next time I might try to make the Mac n' Cheese more at the top and then fade into black.

This project definitely helped me learn how to do width and rounded corners that I will most defiantly use for future projects. I think I'll change the layout more next time and try to experience some new feature with Dreamweaver that I haven't tried yet. I really loved this project because we got to incorporate everything we've learned and I got to write about something that I'm passionate about.

Business & Post Cards









Here is my inspiration for my final. I really liked how in this design, they use different fonts and put them together. I added a couple snow flakes as my own design.
UPDATE:
Here's the printed version of my business card.

Personal Project

This is a project I did on my own in Illustrator and Photoshop. I created my type design in Illustrator using the Blend Options tool to create the lines coming down from the lines. I also used the arc tool to create the outer type. I really liked this project because I got to experiment with different fonts and how to make it look natural. I created the background by using Photoshop and putting a dark green layer above the picture and changing the opacity to give it a darker vibe, and to also make the text stand out more. To blend the picture and the green layer, I used a black and white gradient and multiple the green layer.

My Logos

This is the personal logo I made. I made different shapes and designs with this pattern until I came up with something that represented me. Some problems that occurred when making this was the overlay of the letters and how they can fit while having a normal amount of space between the letters. I really like how well the letters fit together and how the Y flows smoothly into the A.
