Justification-Music CD Cover

This project was probably my favorite, seeing as how I love music. First off, I stuck with my nickname "Sticks" and decided to name the fictitious artist Lil Sticks. With my love for New York City showing in the piece, I created a velvet red background, with the New York skyline transparent. Adding the Parental Advisory logo I thought made the front more legitimate. The bold text of the rapper's name with the cursive name of the album, Brooklyn's Finest, beneath it and sort of overlapping Lil Sticks, creates a unique juxtaposition. The back of the cover is a bit lighter with a gradient fading to light in the upper right hand corner. I stuck with the bold, white outlined text for the songs, as well as added the silhouette of the city in the background.

Justification-Advertisement Promotion

I was a member of the Key Club in high school, and thought it would be cool to make an advertisement for something I was once part of. I used a light blue for the background similar to the blue that is seen within the Key Club logo. I wanted to keep the color scheme alike, and that color scheme was followed primarily from the logo. I broke up the page a bit, having two pictures and the Key Club logo at the top of the page. I also thought having a tagline such as the one I wrote right below the pictures at the top was a good transition into what it was this ad really was conveying. I also outlined the second hand information such as the sandwich making in a yellow, again similar to the yellow that was found in the Key Club logo.

Justification- Business Flyer

For my business flyer, I knew right away I wanted to make it for a custom car shop. With that said, I knew I needed a color scheme, font type, text place, and graphics that really screamed custom, big wheeled cars. The faded car in the background brings the whole piece together in my opinion. I also outlined the "Custom Car Shop" and phone number; because those are the two aspects on the page I want people to see first, besides the company name "Sticks" which is a unique cursive font outlined in green. The black border with the corners of the actual ad fading back into the border gives the page a sleeker look.

Justification-Company Logo

This one seemed to give the most trouble, mostly because I could not download the text in which I used. Instead, I dragged into photo shop then dragged it into InDesign. However, I could not change the color or anything simply because I had placed it into InDesign as an image. With that said I coasted through the rest and really enjoy my finished piece. When I thought "Atlantic", I knew I had to go with an ocean theme. The "Caesar" font in which I used is an elegant, classy font that looks like it could be found on a ship. The anchor caps it off with the anchor itself going one way, and the feather behind it going the other. It creates a sort of focal point leading up to the writing above it.
