Class Experience/Final Blog

Overall I loved the class. I learned a lot about photoshop, illustrator, and indesign techniques. One thing I learned in the class was to not fully rely on the computer and use hand drawn type and illustrations for my work. I also liked the individual critique time because it helped me create better projects and learn how to use the programs better. I enjoyed taking the class and it makes me anticipate my future graphic design classes.

"How to" Illustrative Style

For the illustrations of the "How to" zine I am going to use a bold simplified outline style

"How to" Zine Topic

My topic for the "How to" Zine is how to fight vampires. I researched books at the library and two main sources I found at the library are Vampireology and Encyclopedia Horrifica. Both books I found in the children's section but both offer good illustrations and information on my topic.
