Objective: The objective of this as-
signment is to help develop creative skills as well as enhance the ability to think outside the box. This assignment was difficult at times because It was my first assignment to think outside of the box and it was hard for me to think of a carrot other than food. As i spent more time on it I was able to get the hang of it and think of carrots in a whole new way.

This was one of those assignments where I kept second guessing myself. I drew out what I thought would work and then I created them digitally. For the most part I was happy with the way they came out. If I were to do it over I would redo Heavy and Tense.

Positive & Negative Space Assignment
Positive & Negative Space
Smile
-“It increases your face value.”
Smile
-“It increases your face value.”
Objective: The objective is to combine a
different cropped image and incoorporate text to create an interesting and dynamic layout using design principles, especially positive and negative space. This assignment was fun and challenging for me. I enjoyed using a quote and having it go with my own picture. The only challenge was the layout for me. I did a bunch of trials and errors before I got two that seemed to work well with the picture.
Creative Type Design Assignment
Creative Type Design
Objective: to design with type
only, experimenting with contrast, exploring visual organization, and choosing appropriate font for each quote. I enjoyed the way my final project came out. However, it was difficult for me to work only with white and black and no greys. In this case, reverse type worked the best for me for the more interesting and dynamic layouts.
Clock Design Assignment
Clock Design
Objective: Is to think creatively, and to practice using the creative technique, Attribute Listing.
I enjoyed this assignment because I was able to push my creativity by something as simple as a clock. I learned a lot from the attribute listing and its enabled me to think outside the box.
Creative Heart Assignment
Creative Heart Objective: The objective of this assignment
is to help develop creative skills and enhance the ability to think outsode the box. I had an easier time with this one because I am use to thinking outside the box. The creative carrot assignment really helped me in this assignment.

chy in a layout, to use the principles of design, to design three different layouts for the same product/company, and that each layout is changed to fit the specific format for newspaper, magazine, and banner ad. This assignment was a lot of work having to deal with different layouts and having to have the same pictures work with every layout. However, I enjoyed this assignment because I was doing it on something that kept my interest.
