Continuing my final portfolio, I chose a set of color thumbnail comps from an advertisement we created in class fora car. These follow a "Green" theme as the car was a hybrid. I also created a leaf logo to accompany the ad and that could be used on subsequent ads or other promotional items related to the car.  

I chose a marker comp for a fishing magazine spread to fulfill both my best marker comp and my best traditional copyfitting. I intended to use my chili poster as an example of my best marker comp but the poster was too large to fit on the scanner. I chose the fishing to fulfill my best copyfitting because it was the most accurate when translated onto the computer for final production. The only reason it does not look exactly the same is because I chose to wrap the text around the fish instead of stopping above them. Otherwise it would have been exactly the same as in the marker comp. 

The example I chose as my best use of typography and typesetting is of a magazine article I created in the beginning of the semester regarding stress. Our parameters for the article were specific on our use of images, call outs, and number of pages. I feel the project was successful in each of these areas.   

The last three categories for the final portfolio I chose my fishing spread to fulfill. I believe it is an example of my best design. It follows the rules of structure, hierarchy, and other principles and elements and is my best example of Final art production. There were no lingering technical problems. I also feel this is my best creative concept, many of my others had obvious flaws, or small hiccups that at the time I wasn't sure how to remedy. This project represents much of my work this semester. The images were edited in photoshop and/or illustrator and many technical hurdles had to be overcome to align everything with so much overlapping and clipping paths. I was very attentive to the small details.
