This is my resume that I created in InDesign. I used my logo that I made in a past assignment and placed it on my resume and then I picked a color that I think is very appealing to look at and is personally one of my favorite colors. Using InDesign is still new for me and figuring out how to use the tools is still something that I am adjusting to. I think that when I go and tweak around with my resume some more I will Probably change some things and maybe add some different information. I didn't do this now because I already spent so much time messing around with it and trying to get the formatting to a point where I thought it looked presentable.

For this sketch I started with the word organic and then picked words that came to me afterwards. There's really no pattern of the words, I just write them when they came to my head. I really like this sketch because I think it's fun and I liked that I basically just got to doodle which is really fun to me. 


This is a sketch of an apple and a couple oranges. This is really my first attempt at cross-hatching and I actually like the way it ended up turning out for being a first try. I tried to get the shading as close as I could to how it actually looked but I think that I still have some practice to do to really get this technique down.




Foe this sketch I drew all different angles of a chair. The chair that I drew was a very basic chair. It had wooden legs and and a leather seat and back. I did not enjoy this sketch as much because I prefer drawing things with more organic lines. However, even though this is obviously not a perfect sketch, I think it is still pretty clear what the chair looks like. 

When creating this textile pattern I used images from the Italian Renaissance time period. I tried to select images that I thought best represented this era. I also wanted to make sure that the images I selected were within the same color range. This was important because I wanted the images to look like they belonged together. To create this pattern I ended up using three images. The corner piece was an architectural piece that I found and then the middle two pieces are a piece of artwork from the time with a patterned fabric overlay. When I was making my pattern I really had no idea which images I wanted to use but when I put them together I was really happy with the end product.
When creating this textile pattern I used images from the Italian Renaissance time period and arranged them in a pattern. When creating the images for the pattern I tried to keep the colors within an analogous color range so that they would seem cohesive together. I think that I mostly succeeded in making the images seem cohesive however I think that some of the images could have modified or changed just a little more. As I was completing this project I was becoming gradually more accustomed to using photoshop so I feel that the images I was created got better as my skills improved.
