Twitter Infographic

An infographic is a way to express information in a simple form while using visuals to help the viewer through the process. It shows how content is created, how content is shared, and what outlets are used. It goes through a step-by-step process that visually shows the outcome whatever topic you chose to do it on.

GIF

For my GIF I took my video from our video project this semester and imported it from my documents from Photoshop using the layers on the file import tab. I then shortened my video before I imported it. To make it faster I deleted the odd number layers, then copied the remaining layers and made it so there was no delay. Once I was happy with my GIF, I exported it using the file tab and saved it for the web. I used 128 color to keep the file size down and I found my finished GIF in my documents. … Continue reading GIF

Brand Yourself

Brand Yourself was an assignment where we created an account at BrandYourself.com. Once logged in I entered “Michael Bernard II” into the name and it came up with 10 results from google search. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Michael Bernard’s so only 1 out of the 10 posts was actually about me. Apparently, there’s a pretty successful director with my same name, so he was a part of most of the original posts. My result was a grade of an ‘F’ because only one of the posts was actually about me and that was my Instagram account, so it … Continue reading Brand Yourself

The amount you can do on these programs is astonishing if you know how to use all the tools. Right now, I’m getting close to “knowing enough to be dangerous”, as you might say … Continue reading InDesign
