Case Studies
For this project, my goal was to create images that advertised a rubber duck necklace using rubber duck accents instead of basic, neutral backgrounds. I utilized yellows, blues, and bright lighting to showcase the fun and aquatic vibe of the necklace. To do this, I purchased a yellow poster board, a plastic blue tablecloth, a windmill, and a gift bow, and I already owned the rubber ducks. I set up in my dorm room kitchenette and made my idea come to life. I used a desk light as my main light source. While my dorm looked like it had been destroyed, I was able to get some cool shots.
For this project, I needed to create a social media post for my university’s football Instagram page. In my Graphic Design 2 class, we made these posts so that our work could be showcased in the event they were needed. Below, I will show the progressions of my designs and how I ended up in my final post. My first design was on the bland side and needed more details, and after discussing potential changes in a group discussion, I added some more components. I added a fabric-textured background, switched to an athletic font, and added a strip shape for the location details. The end product had a more sporty feel than the first.
