Project 6 Process Book

The final project of the semester. The goal is to create a cohesive process book. Including all the previous porjects in this class, describing them, the inspiration behind them, and showing how they were created. Then tying them all together with a theme of graphics or colors for the whole book.

The first step to creating this book was to make a mood board. After scouring the internet and scrolling through pinterest, I found a few different things that I liked and wanted to explore. They weren’t all the same style or color scheme, but it was enough for me to be inspired to create a theme that incorporates bits and pieces off of the board.

After placing every previous project and mood board or sketch into the template, I could get a clearer vision of how I wanted it to look. So I started to create a cover page as something to go off of style wise. The first design was very bold, using oranges and black, and the word process in a thick font repeating across the whole thing. After toying around with it for a while, I decided that even though

I liked it, with the content that was going in the book I didn’t want to make a whole thing that style. I think it would have been a little over the top and overwhelming. So I created a much simplier, and more modern version of it. The light blue/lavender color was much softer, and the type was much less in your face. I thought it would be much cleaner to create the rest of the book off of this version.

Lastly, after knowing what sytle I was going for, I put in all the copy. Then I was able to work on the individual spreads, constantly changing and editing them until I had everything placed how I wanted. Then the book was complete and the only thing left to do was publish it.

This process book, with all of my projects from my first college level art class in it’s contents can be used as a benchmark. I plan to continue to take art classes, as I

Reflection

move forward with fufilling my minor in art studio. I want to specifically dive more into the world of graphic desgin and visual communication. This book is basically a portfolio of my work from this class, and I want to be able to look back on it in 3 years and see imporvements and remember where I started at.
