Blog Post 2: Business Cards

By: Marissa Cohen



Introduction 


Welcome to my second blog post! This week in my class I learned how to make a business card. I had to follow a rubric on how to make the card and do my best to follow directions in order to produce a well-made product. I think it's important to know that getting the dimensions for the card right are essential, and making sure you use a professional photo when creating the cards is also a recipe for a successful business card.




BUSINESS CARD

This image before the final preview of the card allowed me to see what I was able to produce and my placement of everything I wanted to be included on this business card.



FINAL PRODUCT

My final business card turned out well for the first time making it. I did my best to follow the correct dimensions and bleed in order to achieve a good business card. 






What I Learned


Something that aided me when making this card were the readings and assignment itself. I was able to learn how to insert my graphics and make sure I was following the correct directions. Something else I think is important to note is when making your card, be sure to be patient and identify what you want to go onto the card thoughtfully before pursuing your final product. 




Key Takeaways

I was able to learn more about Adobe InDesign and discover how to create a business card, something I've never done before. I also learned about different measurements and sizing, and how important they are. Another thing I learned was to follow the directions, because I was able to produce my very own business card in the end. 

I'm looking forward to working with InDesign in the future!

Blog #5 - Swatches

 SWATCHES - 11/23/2021 Introduction : For this assignment, we were tasked with creating swatches behind the inspiration of a photo we were tasked with choosing. For my inspiration, I used a photo I took of myself from fall break when I was in Miami, Florida. From this image, I was able to take three colors - pink, green, and gold - and make them swatches and nameplates.  What I Learned : From creating my swatches and nameplates, I was able to learn what is necessary in creating a professional looking swatch and nameplates that would present well for a future job or other professional endeavor. I think this really helped me for any future assignments, internships, or jobs I may want to pursue and this would really expand my personal portfolio and allow me to experiment with different shades while keeping a sense of fun and lightness out of the entire experience.  Overall Thoughts : When I was completing this assignment, I was a bit confused on how to create the swatch...
