MAJOR AND DEGREE
My major is
broadcast production
and journalism.
I have
always had an
interest in the
media. Hopefully
one day I have a
job in sports media
and reporting,
I have always
wanted to
be in sports media.
In a graphic
design perspective
of sports
media, I think
that it would be
cool to design
sports content
for a team like
posters, logos,
etc. Even though
graphic design
isn’t my main
area of focus,
I think having
some knowledge
of graphic design
will help me
in the future for
getting a job in
sports media.
BROADCAST Production
GRID 103
Prior to taking
graphic design at
Point Park, I had
almost no knowledge
of graphic
design. I never
realized how delicate
cuts and
edges had to be in a
design. I never knew
that you could clip
paths of pictures
and use them in designs.
Before taking
graphic design,
I had no idea of
all the different
Adobe programs
that can be used
to make designs.
This semester I was
taught different
grid structures,
terms used such as
bold, congested,
windy, etc. Throughout
the semester I
learned how to clip
paths and create
different designs
for particular areas
of design.
KNOWLEDGE OF GRAPHIC DESIGN

INFLUENCERS
One graphic designer
who has
influenced me
is Paul Rand. He
has influenced
me because of
his simple ways
with shapes
and images to
create simple
for big companies.
. Another
designer that
influenced me
is Massimo Vignelli,
in which
he used numbers
and letters
combined to
make designs.
The last designer
that has
influenced me is
Alan Fletcher.
He has influenced
me with
he’s unique,
creative, and
colorful ways
with words to
create designs.
TRIANGLES, CIRCLES, AND
SQUARES
This first project
is titled Triangles,
Circles,
and Squares.
This project
was to display
different structures
of graphic
designs of
Order, Increase,
Congested,
Bold, Playful,
and Windy. Each
design was restricted
to our
initials and
only using the
shapes of triangles
circles
and squares.

The next design
is called Page
Layout. The
idea behind this
assignment was
to exhibit the
understanding
of grid structure.
It shows
structure in
ways of which
an item flows in
a certain direction(s)
in the
picture.
The brochure
was a way to
put together
multiple angles
of an item
and show them
as one would
put together a
brochure. With
structure between
a text
and images this
assignment
acts as an ad
for the toy in
the picture.

it would look

JACK AND JILL
The last project
assigned in Grid
103 was a design
called Jack and
Jill. This assignment
is pretty
self-explanatory.
It is designed
to outline the
story of Jack and
Jill. Two figures
represent Jack
and Jill and everything
in the
story; Jack and
Jill went up the
hill, to fetch a
pal of water,
Jack fell down,
and broke his
crown, and Jill
came tumbling
after.
