a companion site to CIOS 233 course at UAF
I created a newsletter for a fictitious store. It was difficult to come up with content and a theme, but I am proud of my overall design and the way the images are place within the text near corresponding headlines. I’m glad that I got to use a lot of elements that I prepared for my midterm assignment but didn’t work out for that design.
I find this class to be inspirational. I have learned so much and it has really enhanced my skill level and my confidence. I am disappointed that it’s almost over and will be very sad to let it go. The assignments are challenging, but fun. What I like most about this class is that we were given a specific assignment each week to turn in that is not in the book and in turn, we have really ended up with some great portfolio quality work.
I think this was one of the hardest assignments yet. I don’t know if it was just me, but buttons were not cooperating after I exported my pdf. I finally had to give in to what I have thinking it may be a program glitch.
I redid week 8, working with styles.
I found some cute little illustrations on the web.

She sells these on etsy in PDF format for a very reasonable price. I think I’d like to try and do something similar with some of the skills I have learned this semester. Perhaps I can create templates for birthday cards and sell them on etsy.
Anyone else interested in sharing their cover? I’d love to see them.
As someone who regularly uses blending modes in photoshop, I really thought this should be easy. But it actually was not as easy as I thought. It turns out that the first two colors I tried to use didn’t work so well with the blending modes. First I tried magenta, nothing was happening, then I tried yellow, also nothing happened.
I am inspired by the colors that most often represent Easter or Spring. I’ve dedicated my week 10 assignment to them and also the web page that I am creating.
