It was so much fun going through the course!

These are my results that are identical to the designs created in the class.

In my other class project, I'm planning on creating my own designs.

Space Scene

I've never created any digital artwork. So, this was actually a revelation for me: I can actually produce something like this.

I also took a detour to learn about swatches and color palettes, because I didn't like the color harmony in the example. What I did instead was to go with a cyberpunk color palette.

Designing the planets was easy. But I think the spaceship lacks depth. That will be one of my next learning projects.

Logo Design

I never created any illustrations, either. And it was a good thing to start with this lesson. I learned the basics and could proceed from there.

Business Card

I thought it was funny to pick an image from an archive of a person who does non-digital work. However, for an actual business card, this wouldn't be appropriate because it creates inconsistent messaging.

Yoga Studio Tri-Fold

I went with the original design and the presented photos. However, since I couldn't find all of the photos, I looked for alternatives.

The color of the best photos I found didn't quite match the originals. So, I tried to use overlays to match the pictures better with the color scheme of the tri-fold.

When looking back at it, I'd probably introduce some changes to the overlays.

That also lead to the idea to use the picture of the two women facing each other on facing pages.

A Study In Typography

There appears to be a pattern of using purple in the designs.

Cookbook

I had the most experience designing brochures, booklets, etc. and I've worked with apps similar to Affinity Publisher before. So, this was more within my comfort zone.

In the future, I want to learn more about tools in AP that make the process more streamlined and the layout more precise.
