Portfolio Style Guide

For portfolio, I'm going to highlight my work from this class, particularly the photography and the videography. My color pallete is going to include these colors; 4F0D28, FFF0CA, AE7175, and CFB699, and if I add more for some reason, they will be along this line. The font will be simple, nothing fancy at all, maybe something like Courier New. I want to go for a simple feel so I'm not going to use any background images or images in my header.

Website Research

this is a cheer movie. the colors are bright fun and perky like cheerleading is. it is easy to navigate. though i do think that there is a lot going on this one page, everything is spaced out, not too cluttered. i like the overall layout of the page, however, i would not include so much on the home page.

this is more along the lines of what i would want to do for my website. there is one main image, keeping it simple, with a navigation bar leading to more detailed parts of the site. though this one doesn't have the same theme as my video, i like the style and layout of the page much better.

Color Pallete

9E1E4C
FF1168
25020F

i chose these colors for my pallete because there is a good contrast, yet the colors share the same temperature range. looking at these colors together is easy on the easy and nothing causes the viewer's eye to be interrupted.

Movie Poster

i chose to keep the poster simple because some of the best movie posters had very simple, but powerful elements. the only place where there is a difference is the uniform which makes it a focal point. i gave the title an arch to give the illusion that its heavy and the cheerleader is holding it up. i used this font because its bold, fun, and heavy and i chose the same color as in the uniform to keep some uniformity. i primarily used masking techniques. i also used a fill to make the body of the cheerleader purple.

Business Cards

Serious/Professional

Creative/Entertaining

For the serious business card, i used classic, neutral colors, the font color complimenting the picture and the background. The font is legible and not too playful. i used the picture of the capital to draw in more professional clients, and the quote which invites everybody to my company. for the creative one, i used much more vibrant colors and a party scene. this show the more social side of PR.
