Business Card

 September 18,2021



Intro:

Business cards show you're a professional and serious about your work. If someone asks for a card you can't produce, you'll look amateurish and unprepared to do business. This assignment gave me the freedom to create a business card that is personal and represents me. 

After finding the dimensions for a standard business card in Adobe InDesign, I decided that it would be essential to have my phone number, email, college major, and most importantly, my name in bold. 

Set-Up:

 For the setup, I ended up manually typing in the dimension. I set the dimensions to 3.5 by 2.0 and the bleed to 0.137 and decided to do them in itches. 

Aesthetic:

For the design on my card, I chose a picture of a city highlighted with pink to make sure it stands out. I chose black because it represents stability. It also works so well with pink because it balances out the vibrant energy that pink often brings to the room.  Pairing any shade of pink with black is going to banish any sweetness and create a sophisticated look.

I chose to picture A city for the transparent image representing us because my goal is to work in a city after college.

Conclusion:

I was skeptical about my final results when completing my business cards, but I'm super content with the turnout. I did face some cons but was able to overcome them. I really enjoyed this project, and it was a great way to practice usual tools in the real world.

Blog 3: Meme

Image
  Introduction :  For this blog, I wanted to create a meme that everyone at HPU could relate to. I chose the template after seeing it on social media. It depicts the president of HPU Nido walking with "Parking," looking back at "New Fountains," seeming more impressed.  First Process:   For the first step, I imported the meme template I selected, then imported a picture of Nido and used the lasso tool to crop his head; after that, I made two layers and placed his head over the original guy in the image. Finally, I added layers for the texts to make sure they stayed organized. What I Have To do: Moving forward, I would like to change up the font and boldness of the text. I will also fix Nidos head positioning to face more towards the girl. Overall I enjoyed this assignment, and I think memes are fun and easy to catch a student's attention.

After watching the video, for the first time, I understood the purpose of AI  and the advancements that they are making. I never gave much thought to the simple changes that I see because of AI. I have realized that we no longer have assembly lines with human beings building cars, but for the first time, we realized the impact that it has on the people who no longer have a job. I started to think about going to the grocery store or Target, and I no longer have to wait in a long line because I can check myself out.  Computers are taking jobs away from many people. Many middle-class Americans are out of a job because of AI, and I question what all these people do to survive and put food on their table. It is scary to think that AI will continue to replace humans over the years, and finding jobs will become more complex.  A pro to AI is the advancements in medical technology. If AI can fight cancer and other diseases, that is an area that will benefit thousands of people. It makes total s
