Adobe Max 2023 - Design Post 8

-

Introduction

    ADOBE MAX 2023 was just released at the beginning of this month, and I must say there are quite a few exhilarating features that have been updated across the Adobe Creative Cloud. These new features are included in Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, Premier Pro, and more. This is all thanks to the new Firefly Model. What an exciting time for all creatives. This new release just skims the surface of what Adobe will look like in the future.

New Features

    Illustrator has a new “Text to Vector Graphic”. This allows the user to create a wide amount of various editable vector graphics. You can manipulate them in any way that you need to get the form and effect that you were aiming for.

    Photoshop has two HUGE improvements. AI is slowly creeping into the back door, and it will continue to speed into the future. "Generative Fill" and "Generative Expand" are the new features. They are incredible. Generative Fill allows you to type a description of whatever you need for your project, and Adobe creates different versions of it. You can then edit it however you please. Generative Expand literally will expand off of the picture you are editing and fill it in as if you blended and edited the picture yourself.

    In Lightroom, the new effect is called “Lens Blur”. Lens Blur makes it easier to blur any part of the photo that has been selected.

    Premier Pros’ new update is awesome as well. Adobe has added a “Text-Based Editing” The editor can now go into the text to the left of the video and simply highlight and delete anything that they do not want. Also, if you are looking to delete or change a specific line or word, you can search for the word and it will highlight every sentence that has that word in it. You can then press delete, and it will be gone.

    After Effects now has “Roto Brush”. Roto Brush has made it easier to select or quickly isolate objects in your image.

    Adobe Express was also interesting. It is highly relevant in this day in age. It creates content and generates posts for multiple social media sites all at one time.

Conclusion

    All of these new features allow for better efficiency. The designer can get more work done and focus more are creating art. That is the main goal of these updates. Adobe Max 2023 was very insightful because this is the future for graphics artists and any other artist out there who works with Adobe software. These updates can help your business tremendously. I look forward to learning these new features and implementing them throughout my studies and the career path that I choose.

Nigerian Street Buka's Logo - Project 25 Final

-
Image
     Nigerian clothing and street restaurant signs are filled with vibrant and bold colors. Each region's colors vary, but many wear colorful attire at some point.      To begin my logo process, I came up with the name Nigerian Street Buka. I wanted Nigerian and street in the name so that people knew what kind of food it was, but I also wanted it to be unique so I named it Nigerian Street Buka. Buka refers to small local shops in Nigeria, and that is what my restaurant represents. I also knew that I wanted to represent music and food.      Then, I sketched 30 thumbnails, and from the 30 that I sketched, I chose 3 thumbnails. I then created 3 roughs from these thumbnails, adding more detail. I again chose 1 rough for my final design.      I uploaded a photo of my rough to Adobe Illustrator, and I began drawing everything out with the pen tool. As I came to the final logo, I realized that there were some details that I did not like. I ended up going with Bookman Old Style Bold

Nigerian Street Buka's Brand Identity - Project 26

     Now that a Logo had been established for Nigerian Street Buka , it was time to create a Brand Identity. For this part of the assignment, we were supposed to create a Business Card , Letterhead , Envelope , and a Website Mock-up (For a cell phone screen.) for our restaurant.      I began this project by researching various brand identities and business cards. I wanted to get a feel for what was out there in the world of the restaurant industry. Anyone can come up with a generic design for their brand identity, but if you want your brand identity to speak to your customers visually and emotionally, there needs to be a great portion of brainstorming and planning: colors, shapes, typography, and more need to be taken into careful consideration.      After completing my research, I drew my artboards out for each project piece and began contemplating a few designs. I knew my colors would be a combination of two or three colors that I picked from the logo itself. I placed the logo a

XXL Magazine - Project 3

  Introduction      This is my favorite project so far. We had to create the October 2023 edition for a popular magazine. The magazine that I chose was XXL . XXL is a rap/hip-hop magazine that presents stories relating to these genres of music. It also offers little take-aways such as: how hip-hop has evolved, how to develop your musical career, personal/career related information about major/underground artists and record labels, and up-and-coming trends and artists, etc. I chose to put the new artist Ez Mil (Ezekiel Miller) on my October 2023 rd edition of XXL. He is a Filipino rapper, but he can sing, dance, beat box, rap, produce, and write songs. He can also rap in multiple languages. There is more. He not only raps, but he is a scream vocalist for death metal bands, as well. He just signed with Shady Records, and he has never been on the cover of this magazine. Ez Mil would be a great prospect for XXL’s next edition. Creative/Design Process      I did a substantial amount of
