Ezra's Multimedia portfolio

  Instagram Square: Monitor: Phone: For the monitor, I created all my text, colors, and images to my standard. When switching to the phone version, I changed the dimensions after making a copy of the first artboard. I then adjusted everything to fit into the artboard. I did the same after making a copy for the instagram square.

 

The band TV Girl’s album cover for Death of a Party Girl uses many different principles of design to capture the viewer's attention and also give off a certain message. As per the name, the album describes the downfall of a once vibrant and lively “party” girl. She has fallen into loneliness and relies heavily on acceptance and validation from others. Certain aspects of the album cover can relay this type of message if looked at closely. Although this may be an album cover, it counts as graphic design, which shows that graphic design is almost everywhere you look.    The album cover uses bright and heavy colors to contrast the pale gray background. In each color change, it can also be observed that complementary colors are being used. For example, the cyan woman is positioned right before the orange woman, which is shown in the color wheel to be opposite of each other. That is not the only type of formula being used in the image. Analogous colors such as red, yellow, and orang...

  Habituation occurs in every human, whether good or bad. It is how we learn. Once we get used to something, it just becomes a small thing, a part of the routine that we are so comfortable with. Conversely, it can prevent us from noticing small issues that need solutions. It is a designer's job to notice all these small things and make a solution for them. Seeing these little issues is not a talent designers are just born with but rather build up as they experience more. They have to see their product in the eyes of a customer and consider every little aspect to fulfill their needs. To see these problems, there are some simple steps. Looking beyond the problems can show you the steps necessary leading to the problem and also the ones after. It helps to remove, add, or combine steps to achieve the goal wanted. Another step is to look closer. Focusing on small details and debating whether they are of importance can help consider a variety of customers, not just one type. Lastly, it i...

 

  My subject is a rock from Everything Everywhere All at Once and the slogan is Just Be A Rock. I have 7 layers.

  I added an image from google for the background and then I added my name. I made my name into a shape and rotated and shifted each letter for it overlapped with the others. Finally, I made it so that the overlapping parts showed the image. I also outlined the name with a slight white.

  I used a layer mask to hide certain parts of the text behind the main subject.

  Layer 1= I created a mask to hide the shot inside the camera screen. Layer 2= I changed the size/position of the image using the transform tool and also removed the background. Layer 3=I made the selfie smaller to fit the camera screen using the transform tool and also increased the vibrance. Layer 4=I used the spot healing brush to remove some stuff from the original image and also removed the background as well as changed the size. Layer 5=I removed the background and changed the size as well as decreased the brightness and increased the contrast by a little bit. For my collage I put my picture inside the camera screen to make it look like it was a shot taken before and also added “stickers” to the camera to personalize it.

  Multimedia is the use of computer technology to create graphics, videos, and a combination of other things to allow someone to create, communicate, and interact. The mixture of using many types of media makes it easier for people to become immersed in the information spread to them and also their understanding of the topic. Multimedia is a gigantic aspect of the way information is spread in today's world. We see it everywhere like Instagram or even Google Classroom. It is also utilized in making things like animated characters or the shows we watch on the daily. There are a handful of apps that involve multimedia and photoshop is one of them. Photoshop allows someone to create or change images or videos. It has different formats like posters, videos, and webpages. People create and customize these utilities to spread information about a certain topic. Earlier today, I used photoshop to change a picture of giraffes and a moon. It allowed me to change what is in view the most, what...
