Setting up the wordpress account with filezilla

Setting up the wordpress site for sharing portfolio was very easy for me because I am kind of in technical stuff and it is important to learn. Just by learning system it wont be enough we should know how should we make systems to work for ourselves.  Wordpress is free and open source content management system(CMS) paired with MySQl and MariaDB Database.It supports plugin architecture and template systems known as themes in wordpress. I  used one theme and slider plugin to create my website. Which looks like  (https://ca-net.herts.ac.uk/~dc21aaz/wordpress/) The interface of wordpress is intuitive and beneficial for beginners honestly i had a  great time going through interface and understanding each aspect of it . It was very Easy compared to my contemplation  In interface everything that is given is particularly useful . everytime you install a plug in and activate it there is a new button directly leading to that. All the pages that you create is in the pages button on left side. basi

 Hannah Hoch was a German Dada Artist . One of the originators of Photomerge or Photocollage in which various photos are pasted one another in a way that Conveys a message . She was a strong feminist And recognisable among men for her professionalism and energy . She was a Strong political Critic who structured social roles. Her art works encouraged leberation and agency of women during Weimar republic.  (Example of her art work ) I did not tried to replicate any of her art work but Surely tried to made Two variations which were inspired by hers. As she made photo collages with mainly one similarity of mixing one animal with human. I saw her trend in most of her art work And i tried my hands on. I had an amazing time doing it in Adobe Photoshop . Keeping it clean and detailed as possible as possible. I did replicate the color schemes she uses giving it a vintage kind of  look and feel. I used tools like clone tool, content aware fill , Transform and mesh tools Then camera raw filter to

Example of One of the Best Portfolio sites

Image
  This Portfolio website is of Sophie Brittian who is a Visual Designer Specializing in UI/UX designing. Website is minimal as possible with negative space which is important as per my contemplation because it gives feel of talent and not the feel of extraordinary janky designers. She has uploaded only 6 of her best works in minimal way with just background and simple mock ups but the interesting this is there is a button which takes you to the full Details of each projects with color variations and other mock ups, Little paragraphed information explaining the exact idea with like to that particular site. Which I think is best way to showcase any work (below is Screenshot)(https://www.sophiebritt.com/) I think the overall mood and tone of the website is Light Themed with the perfect use of space and colors. the only buttons are colored in various colors featuring the intuitive design. There is only three buttons to get to whole website.  About the designer is always A chance to Create

The Website with Good Design and Structure

Image
  The squarespace website is the website used for designing websites. On this platform people can Design their Shopping, Portfolio and other business related websites. It also includes Domain name which makes it a better option then such similar sites . I just saw the advertisement of squarespace in a Youtube video and checked it out . It is indeed eye catching website with impressive layout and intuitive design .  The user interface and user experience is top notch . You can just scroll down the first web page and get whole idea of what this can provide you and why this is a better option . The main attractions are the way in which templates are illustrated maintaining the aspect of negative space . It manages to include various tools and which ones are used most according to their analytics . We can visit pages in which visitors are engaging the most .         My most favourite thing about this was obviously the motion graphics used whenever you scroll or move your cursor there is s

Add A shadow (photoshop session 2)

Image
As part of second session we had to cut this man from whole another image and bring it in this photo and make this man cast a shadow to be honest it was a simple trick using free transform and opacity but we also learned perspective view we have to adjust the size of man compare to this photo angle to look more realistic and little bit about saturation   

Men Removed !! (Photoshop session 1 )

Image
             This was the first photoshop task to Remove the man . we used some other other images for patches and this image for clone stamp tools. One main thing which I learned is cutting corners will not give extra ordinary result it might give you satisfactory result  

First Poster Design !!!

Image
My Favorite band for a long time is ONE REPUBLIC without any doubt. Their songs are heartfelt and they always try to convey a message in songs. One of the mine most favorite songs is COUNTING STARS. I was confused at first but when I saw typography it simply struck my mind to mix up the 1 and republic somehow. then after I tried but tutor said it was not matching the theme therefore I tried to replicate their fonts and came up with a logo. Poster Design was Kind of tricky because there were too many things that we can do but I have tried to keep it simple and minimal. Those boxes are perfectly aligned and the title between them is also. overviews the alignment and I have placed a play logo in R to mention the future and try some color variations  As this was the vinyl Poster space and focal points were the main consideration with alignment but I feel colors are the part in which trials and error is required     

Replicating Some Famous Logo's

Google and Nike are two of the most successful Brands in This Era and they only modify their logos. we learned that creating something minimal and with fewer colors are very beneficial for a Long time. By replicating them we also learned that Designers can Take a world-known brand and Design something with a complex mindset but minimal Design and fewer color schemes

A reimagined concert poster by Mike Joyce. This was the last gig Ziggy Stardust ever played. I tried to redesign the poster which was created by Mike Joyce. The creation of mike Joyce was stunning but I tried to play with the shapes. the original one had perfect circles but I added one different kind of eclipse just to give it a face-like structure.  This was created in Adobe illustrator by using very basic tools such as alignment, space, proximity, focal points, etc. A good alignment is the basic need of any art use of space and alignment are interrelated. moreover, I tried to play with color choices but it took away the originality of the poster.  The main tools used by designers today are most basic tools such as brush tool, pen tool, colors, layers, points, and perspectives. basically, all tools have their

The Movie Poster

  People are generally attracted to watch movies for many reasons. A good poster plays a major role in being the reason the public intends to watch movies.   Recently a movie named "Dune" released an impressive poster which overviews their story with one artifact and desert with sand dunes.

The tones and colors used in the poster     match well with the subject of the film  This is a sci-fi movie set in the far future on a different planet where the noble  family   is   invaded by enemies and this conceive a war
