      Before I took this Graphic designing course I wasn't too great at doodling or sketching> Now I have come to realize, like everything else, practice makes perfect. Every little thing counts when it comes to being a articulate creative, such as, writing, doodling, looking at other designs ect...      One of the exercises I have practiced was to just continuously draw a bunch of circles until the overall marksmanship improved. Another exercise I did was to continue drawing different shapes and figures until I could do it without looking at the original picture. The last exercise I did was to write personal letters to family in cursive or calligraphy until I liked the quality of my handwriting.      Until we were assigned the project of making 30 designs I was not aware of how creatively articulate I could be with a pen or pencil. To be pushed past your capabilities and comfort zone is the best way...

      I'm really feeling myself after this design.... I've spent countless hours on free handing different designs and for some reason I feel this is the one. Not to mention the baby is one of my aliases but it also portrays that I'm a little homesiqq.      As you can see in the first paper I sketched a few rough drafts, however I sketched more than that on all kinds of paper... (This is just the one you guys get to see). Eventually Baby Ragz will either get his bottle, bag of money, or California.... Possibly all 3... I feel like this could even turn into more than just design material it can become a comic book.      Whichever comes first I'm just excited that I get to continue practicing in the world of Design and eventually get to share my ideas with the world... Over and out 10/4

 

       I took this picture of my Cousin at the Lakeland Square Mall after she got done getting a #FRESH Line Up. Since I had some time to kill, I uploaded it into my Photoshop app on my Iphone and as you can see from the second picture... That was the after effect. I put a texturized border on the original photo and a green, gradient spotlight on her.      This was my first time utilizing photoshop on a mobile phone, and for those graphic designers or creative individuals period,,, I would recommend downloading the app.     What makes this picture special to me, is the fact, not only is she  my cousin but I also really like her sweater and the way it was designed. It's simple but screams for attention with just those five letters with a period at the end. Very stylish Cousin, I give it 2 thumbs up!
