My Portfolio- Aaliyah Jones

  Ad campaign   The concept of doing this project was deciding on a business to use, and the idea of choosing what I will include in the ad. Hence, I chose to make an ad for Benny’s as shown below my ad in five different sizes include a labor clearance day sale. Whereby it is 70% sale discount on all woods lasting from April 1st - 30th. Concluding that I made two different ads and change the layout based on my ad sizes. The tools I used was (1) Artboard Tool: This was a crucial tool for me, as it enabled me to set up different artboard sizes to represent the various ad formats and layouts I needed to accommodate. (2) Resize Tool: This tool gave me the ability to scale and transform objects, text, and entire artboards. This allowed me to easily adjust the size and proportions of my ad elements to fit the different artboard sizes established. (3)  Align and Distribute Tools: I used this to ensure my ad elements were properly positioned and spaced within the varying artboard layouts. Also

  Photo Retouching  The concept was to get an image from an online source, or any other sources and manipulate that image into photoshop and combine both of them side -by-side to see the finish outcomes between both. Hence, I used my very own photo and manipulated it. To manipulate my image, I used the ten (10) tools learnt in class and I will thoroughly explain how I used each of them below: 1.  Healing Brush Tool: I used this tool to retouch and smoothing my skin imperfections. I effectively leveraged the Healing Brush to lighten and refine the surface of my face, creating a more even and flawless complexion. 2.  Spot Healing Tool: Similar to the Healing Brush, I used the Spot Healing Tool to seamlessly eliminate the bumps and dark spots, on my face further enhancing the overall appearance of my skin. 3. Red Eye Tool: I aptly used the Red Eye Tool to lighten my pupils, resulting in a more natural and vibrant eye appearance. 4. Patch Tool: I used thus tool to effectively blend and smo

  Logo Remake Assignment  The concept behind this logo remake is to modernize the existing Instagram logo, transforming it into a more contemporary representation of a phone camera. This decision aligns with the ubiquity of the Instagram platform and the need to keep pace with evolving design trends and user expectations.  To bring this concept to life using Adobe Illustrator I utilized a variety of powerful tools and techniques: (1)  Shape Tools: The foundation of my redesign was likely built upon the use of basic shape tools, such as the Ellipse Tool, Rectangle Tool, and Polygon Tool. These allowed me to construct the core elements of the camera design, including the lens, body, and any additional geometric shapes. (2) Pathfinder and Boolean Operations: To seamlessly blend and combine the various shapes, I employed Illustrator's Pathfinder tools and Boolean operations, such as Union, Subtract, and Intersect. These functions enabled me to create complex, integrated shapes that for

Book Cover  This book cover was a peer activity. Our vision reimagining the iconic character, Peter Griffin, from the popular animated series "Family Guy." The core concept behind this project is a major shift in Peter's life, where the roles between him and his son, Stewie, have been reversed. In this 2024 version, Stewie has become the father figure, while Peter now adopts a more playful and childlike demeanor. This role reversal signifies a significant change in the dynamics and power dynamics within the Griffin household, adding a fresh and intriguing twist to the well-established narrative. To bring this concept to life, me and my peer utilized various tools and techniques in Adobe Photoshop: (1) Selection Tools: We used the selection tool, such as the Lasso Tool or the Magic Wand Tool, to isolate and extract the desired characters (Stewie and Peter) from their original backgrounds. (2) Layers and Compositing: By layering the selected characters and manipulating thei

  Vision Board  The concept/ Idea behind my 2024 vision board is “Ambition”, hence having ambition or being ambitious you can get a lot of things done. Ambition is a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. All my pictures are related to ambition: (1) Achieving financial success and stability through the money-related picture. (2) Prioritizing self-care and personal growth to support my ambitious endeavors through the picture of the female, and the word love. (3) Nurturing important family and interpersonal relationships that provides a foundation for my ambitions through the family related image. (4) Pursuing my educational and intellectual growth through the books and academic pursuits image. (5) Setting specific, measurable, and achievable goals (SMART goals) to channel my ambition effectively. (6) Seeking guidance and support from others, represented by the "helping hand" imagery. (7) Lastly, incorporating elements of v
