Graphic Design Week of Jan 14 - 20

On January 17, I received the topic for my first project in my Design 101 class. The topic is either what interests me or a culture. The project is due next Thursday, January 24. For this project, I decided to do either Starbucks, or Japanese Animation. In the end, I chose Japanese Animation as my project topic. The project requires 11" x 14" paper without any white or blank space and must talk about the culture without any letter or number.

I began my project by gathering pictures online. I used mainstream Japanese Animes, such as Naruto, Bleach, Death Note and etc, to show how Japanese Animes are not only popular in Japan, but also around the globe. I started to put the pictures together last Saturday. I had problems with the corners of the pictures and placing them together. I had to cut parts of a picture and adjust different layers. At some pictures, I cropped the whole background and only included the main character(s) of the Anime. As I added more pictures, more and more adjustments were made and I'm only halfway done through this project as of January 20.

Total Hours: 4
