This is the beginning of my posts for my final portfolio. To fulfill the requirements of the portfolio I must show proficiency in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I must also give examples of my best thumbnail color comps, marker comp, traditional copyfitting, best design, typesetting, creative concept, and InDesign Final Art production. 

To show proficiency in InDesign I chose a magazine spread from Better Homes and Gardens that I re-created. This was challenging because I had to match their type font, size, import images, etc. This project was successful because I matched their typefitting exactly, and placed side by side there is no way to tell which one is which.    

To demonstrate my proficiency in Illustrator, I chose a recreation of a Japanese print I completed in the beginning of the semester. This was a complicated project that required exact detail in matching form and color. (The one on the left is the original.) 

To demonstrate my proficiency in Photoshop I chose an old damaged photo I retouched. The original had something corrosive spilled over it. I had to recreate large sections of the photo including parts of the children. Specifically on the of the boy's legs and both hands.
