Portfolio

















Completing my FMX Digital Media program at the University of Tampa has been an enriching journey, challenging me to expand my skills and creativity within the Adobe suite specifically Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. As someone already immersed in the graphic design business, learning these software platforms not only broadened my capabilities but also refined my approach to visual storytelling. From the outset, navigating through the intricacies of Adobe Illustrator to the nuanced editing features of Photoshop, and the layout finesse of InDesign, each phase of this course presented its own hurdles and triumphs.

Throughout this demanding course, I've encountered moments of struggle and growth, from the initial learning curve to mastering advanced techniques. Yet, with persistence and dedication, I've emerged equipped with a comprehensive understanding of Adobe tools that will undoubtedly serve me well in my future endeavors. Compiling this portfolio, I've curated a selection of works that exemplify my creative journey within these platforms, each piece a testament to the evolution of my skills and vision.

Inspired by a template sourced from Adobe Stock, I envisioned a magazine-style layout to complement my background as a Journalism major with a minor in Public Relations. Incorporating a distinctive blue font, achieved through a text effect also sourced from Adobe Stock, I meticulously edited the contents using Adobe Photoshop to bring my vision to life. This portfolio not only showcases my proficiency with Adobe software but also underscores my commitment to merging design and communication seamlessly in my professional pursuits.

The vivid green color represents my name, Jaide, like the priceless Jade stone. The second card, with the initials "JG," pays tribute to my ancestry and my great-great-grandmother's name Georgiane. Finally, the third card's bright blue color represents my zodiac sign, Pisces, which is a sensitive and adaptable water sign. These cards were mostly created by hand using InDesign's rectangle tool to create the color backgrounds. In order to achieve the ideal colors and make sure every shade had the intended meaning, the Adobe Color Wheel was essential. Using the fill Gradient tool to provide depth and dimension, the second card's design was a particularly ...

  I've discovered that some tools in Adobe InDesign are simpler to use than others. For example, the Text Tool is really easy to use and will make it simple for me to add and format text in my layouts. Making aesthetic changes to fonts, sizes, and colors is a straightforward and intuitive way to create visually beautiful text elements. In a similar vein, the Shape Tool will be simple to use and allow me to rapidly add forms like circles and rectangles to my designs.
