Swatches of Furniture
Task 1: Photo
I was in the common room of my residence hall when I started realizing all of the various colors in the furniture. Though there are multiple colors, somehow they all blend together. I decided to photograph a chair alongside a little decorative stand. The black, cream, and dark olive green provided the perfect colors for my swatch assignment.


Task 2: InDesign
Once I uploaded the image to InDesign, I set my original colors from the photo as new colors on the swatches icon. I found my perfect colors. Using the rectangle tool, I created my boxes for the swatch. I then used the "click and option" tool that we used in class to create the same size rectangles across my swatch. A dark grey, dark olive green, and an off white cream color. I set those as the boxes on my first column on 100% tint. In the next column, I placed the same colors, but at 70% tint. In the last column, I placed the same colors, but at 30%.
 Task 3: Nameplates
Using my different tints, I created nameplates. I really like how my nameplates came out. None of the colors contrast each other and they all go together well. I included my name, major, and minor. My favorite nameplate is the dark gray with the yellow font because the tints go well together and contrast each other. I chose this font because it's professional and simple, which is a good thing to put on your LinkedIn page.

Accessible Video Project

Overall, I think this project was a really great way to bring attention to the fact that not everyone is able to watch or hear videos, TV shows, movies, etc. When producing projects, it is so important to include enough visual and audio details in order to provide for various kinds of people who are watching. Audio Only: With my audio only video, I strived to include as many sound effects as I could. When completing this project, I shut my eyes or avoiding looking at the screen in order to understand what it would be like to be visually impaired. With that, I tried to make my audio as detailed as possible, so that someone who is visually impaired doesn't feel like their missing out on the story. Visual Only: With my visual only, I added various personal photos, clip art photos, and some text. Again, I tried putting myself in a hearing impaired person's shoes and strived to incorporate as much visual detail as I could so that person wouldn't feel like they were mi...

Original 5 Minute Story: https://soundcloud.com/caroline-hamrick-830009156/blog-1-original Edited 1 Minute Story: https://soundcloud.com/caroline-hamrick-830009156/blog-1-edited This blog was a great opportunity to learn more about Adobe Audition. I learned new things through trial and error. For example, highlighting the part I wanted to delete was made much easier once I realized I could drag it longer or shorter if I held my tool at the top of the section. Before I realized that I had been listening to the same part over and over again, trying to find the specific second I wanted to delete. I used many of the tools that we talked about in class like the razor tool, the move tool, and the time selection tool. These all allowed me to edit my clip into a minute long story. When I added the introduction and closing clip, I had some trouble getting to the end of the page, but was able to find it by dragging the selected clip all the way to the end. Uploading the file was not ...

Blog #3 (GSP)

Since I did yearbook for three years in high school, creating my Photostory draft felt as if I was creating a spread for yearbook. I started in Photoshop and chose two photos where the lighting was off or their were distracting elements in the photo. In the airplane photo, there was originally a Starbucks cup that I edited out by using the stamp tool. For the largest photo of the chair in Slane Student Center, I also edited a few lighting distractions by using the stamp tool and the paint tool. In InDesign, I used the fit content buttons a few times when moving around my photos, for it can be easy to make a mistake with that. I also utilized the proportions InDesign gives when you move things around. It makes your layout more organized and easier to complete. I also played around with the type tool and different fonts that InDesign has to figure out what would look best with my PhotoStory.
