On Campus Event at Elc

For my on-campus event, I decided to go to the closing reception in the elcm of Zach Shaffer's The Fountain. This was a Talk that was discussing the cross-over of entrepreneurship and art. I think that it was a really interesting subject that should have been mentioned before and I'm surprised it hasn't been. The most interesting part to me was the merging of departments. Personally,interesting I know when I come into contact with someone that is outside of the art department it seems that they have a completely different experience than I do. The most interesting part was the way they met. from what I remember it was though the help of a professor, and next thing you know this major collab was created and they worked together so well an interesting point that was discussed was the marketing of zachs work. All artists would like to believe that they could just create work that would make them happy and they could sell all of it and live completely off that as an income. But most of the time that is not true. Rae was working on ways that Zach could sell his work for a profit that would make it so he could eventually turn it into a career.

Week 12

This week was all about working on the final manifesto. So far it is not going very well for me all my diffrent media elements are messed up and i had to put my code in the drive. I have tried fixing it several times but i have no idea what is going wrong. So I have decided to start over.

Week 11

Today in class I presented my Interactive Pdf and my feedback was as follows.


Feedback:

• Too much words for a website ( good thing its a publication) 
• Think about how to symbolize whats clickable 
• The video and the directions were redundant (even though I don't think so) 

Week 10

This week i was making sure all of my illustrator work was done in order to move everything into in design. I have been watching a lot of videos in order to learn how to link everything properly and feel like it wasn't hard at all. 

Week 9

This week I focused on making my beef jerky publication ready to go into indesign. This took a lot of work to figure out how to get things up and which order to place things. I also have been working a lot with how to get the colors and fonts in the document in order to make sure they indicate what is clickable. Im also worrying about if I want the whole video link to be clickable or just the title on the page. I know the hardest part of this is the initial layout but i'm still worried about the interactive part. but after watching another video on it it cant be too hard.

Week 7

Coding: This week we received two more exercises that would help further our coding knowledge. The first exercise was just a reading assignment to help learn about different type classifications. I actually did learn a lot from the reading, I never realized how many different font classes there were. The other exercise was all about google fonts, and I like google fonts so much more than I like font squirrel.  I feel like font squirrel was too complicated and Google fonts get right to the point.

Typeface: This week I was beginning to go through different ideas for the final typeface. I keep going back to beef jerky and I can not think of anything else that would suit my typeface so well so my proposal is as follows.

1. Jerky

2. Making a company that focuses on showcasing some of the best beef jerky recipes and also allowing people to showcase some of their original creations and be ranked according to the scale of jerky. This will not only be about beef jerky I'm talking chicken, pork, gator and so much more I just want this to be a southern jerky website, showcasing some of the best. I feel like the font will be a perfect fit for the southern roots of beef jerky.

3. A website

4. Sublime, illustrator, and photoshop
