I have learned a lot in this class. I'm not major in Viscom  but I still took DSP because I am really interested in it. Although it is the hardest class that I have this semester, it is the most interesting one. Everything was new for me at the beginning of the class. Time by time, I got used to it. Not only learning how to use the softwares and design process but also I learned how to manage my time. No matter how busy are you, live or dead by deadline. That is true in the real life. And I guess I already died couples of times.

This is my best set because it is neat and clean. My weakness in this comp set is that my final production doesn't look exactly the same with the thumbnail that my partner and I chose. The color is different and the concept changes a little bit. 

After doing copy fitting twice, I got used to it more. The first one, I didn't have trouble in calculating the text but I did in arranging it. I thought it wasted time to draw all the text boxes ahead to see how much space they were gonna take. Consequently, I have a lot of space left in back pages whereas the front pages were pretty tight due to many texts. I had to redo. The second time was much faster. I 

I chose the Chili cookoff poster as an example of creative concept because it is simple but different from the others. My concept is a chef holding a tray on which there is a Chili dish. Using  the letter " O" as his head, and the word "Chili" represents the dish. To make it look more like a person, I placed a hat, a bow tie, and arms for him. 

Marceline pamphlet is my choice because it is the best one that I made among newsletters or magazine spreads. My concept is making a pamphlet to advertise Disney's hometown but also attract attention from both sexes. That is why I used two colors blue and pink. For the front page, my concept was an art gallery. There was an art work talking about the mickey mouse was drawing Walt Disney. And, then the quote is like a tittle for the work. The next following pages introduces about Disney's hometown. Not only is there useful information for moms and dads but also kids want to look at it because of little cute Tinkerbell that they see her in cartoon. I rebuilt 3 Tinkerbells in Illustrator and out it in Indesign. To make sparkles, I created my own brush in Photoshop with different sizes of star bursts. Then using magic wand to select those sparkles and of course clipping path to cut out the background. I placed it into Indesign, copied and pasted to create as many as I wanted.
