i first selected and scanned my image. Once I had my hierarchy
established, I tried to illustrate that hierarchy through the
size of the text. I also tried to create a clear focal point

background. Finally, I aligned all of the elements within the
piece with another element and printed.

I began this project by sketching. From there, I created a
paper mock-up. I created my logo and the city skyline from
the front cover using Illustrator. I selected the images that
I wanted to use. I adjusted the height of one of the buildings
using Photoshop. I then inserted my text and used a paragraph
style to make sure that all of the elements were cohesive.
finally, I cut out the city skyline using an Exacto knife and
then I used some black thread and a needle to bind my white
cardstock and recycled paper together.

changes (primarily to improve my alignment within the piece).

edges were in line with the keyboard. i finished by adjusting my
text so that it was easy to read.

Choose a color scheme.
Use layers to design text and repeating graphic elements.
After choosing an image, I felt that I could achieve a higher
contrast by turning the image into black and white. After
turning the image black and white, I edited a bubble image. I
changed the colors of the bubbles to fit my color scheme. I
then inserted the text and tried to align the shapes in a way
that they would naturally occur. Getting the gold color was
especially tricky and I ended up having to use a mask. Finally, I
added color swatches and included my color scheme.
