Week 2 Journal Blog

For the job search, I was looking at the coordination internship site by the COMD in City tech and looked for jobs but wouldn’t apply as the contents I had now needed more adjustment to be acceptable which is why I had visited the professor for my very first one on one meeting. The very first thing she mention when I told her that my resume feels empty would be that the content can be filled with visuals to cover up the negative space and to add more text on the negative space she told me to add related coursework and achievement and education along with portfolio link and about me. But the most important criticism that I had to change was the template of my website. The professor mentioned that my website seems to be all in one page instead of separate and can be off guard to people who are considering hiring a person so she advise me to change the template into simpler and easier navigation to my work. I will now work on this Wix Website while also fixing my resume layout and design.

Week 1 Journal Blog

At first, I had to set up my portfolio and resume which was lackluster at the beginning. I worked on it for a few hours and also worked on a portfolio website on Wix as it is one of my few times learning how to set up a website with no prior experience.  For this specific week, I had only submitted the portfolio that I had done for my portfolio that was required for my Portfolio class. As for the resume, it was lacking in terms of contents and was mostly and would require me to have to go for one one-on-one session with the professor.

As of now, I had not found any internship as both my resume and portfolio are not polished to the point that it would be acceptable for any internship program.  The resume experience and works content were needed for me to get a better chance at landing into an internship.

Banner and Logo Design

The Banner relates to how there’s many path I can cross which is why there’s a bunch of diagonal lines and the emphasis of my name on the left represent me pushing through all the obstacle , for the logo I alway enjoy drawing and the pencil always become natural to me, the whole point of the logo is to ” all the piece of works and art are all done with a single pencil”

Field Trip Report

Last Week I saw a bunch of printing device in the printing facility in the UFT. One of them which is the Epson Stylus Pro 9800 which is a device which is used for large photos or graphic prints , another of the device for printing is Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C8000 which is used for digital color printing. There is also that one machine which printed logo onto a shirt which need to be heated up to the point the ink is flat out sticked into the shirt. Based on this trip I learn many things that I haven’t gone through in the printing facility in the UFT and hope to see more in the future.

 

 

 

Enhance Visual Quotes

 

The first quote design was a concept of the meaning gift. The present represent the gift of life which is stated in the quote. I emphasize the word gift as that is the most important word for the meaning of this quote. I want this quote to look clean and simple.

This variation of quote is more based on what the scenes in the Movie is portrayed by Jack Dawson (Leonardo de Caprio) and I got this concept because a lot of other movie quote follow the movie image and the capture of the quote. I want this one to be more sophisticated

 

I figured this is going to be a simple idea of a quote but this concept is what I want to emphasize with the letter size and the the leading to make the word flow. I choose the light blue color to represent the color of water that the titanic ship is cruising over.
