Final Graphic Design

For my final graphic design project, I took into consideration the helpful tips that my peers gave me in order to improve the final draft. My peers have suggested that I give the text more of a unique flow to it, rather than having a simple letter text so that the post does not seem plain and boring. What I also incorporated was giving my project a title so that it gave off more of a magazine like feeling to it. I have decided to take the photo outlines off of the individual pictures so that it blends and flows into the background. Overall my peers suggested that include more detail into the imagery so that people will understand that it is about college football and be more unique with the designs. Now that I have completed the changes to my final draft my project is to tell the journey of what I have done thus far to get where I am in my athletic career. It shows the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices that it took in order to achieve my dreams. The main objective of it all is that nothing comes easy, you have to go out and work for it.

Road To Success

The road to success never comes easy for those who work tremendously hard for something that they dream of doing. For me, the dream is to continue playing college football. What I decided to create for this project is a collage of some of the things it takes to maintain the physical fitness one needs in order to achieve their dreams like I do for mine. This project idea relates to my topic due to the fact that my main focus of this project is fitness and I want to inspire others to get out and get active. So, by creating a brief collage of some of the things that I do to remain active and staying in the best physical shape that I can be in. I am hoping to influence others to achieve their fitness goals as well as chase whatever dream they have, whether it is playing sports at a certain level or just overall having a better life. The significance of the elements in my design is to share and publicize that there is more to just being an athlete and playing the sport they are costumed to playing. This design shares that there is more work put on that most people don’t see. Coming from my personal background of being a “walk-on” athlete, these images indicated the hard work I put in to get where I am today. The design process that I wanted to focus on at the start of the project to the end is the professional image collage process.  With the photos that I chose to use for the project, I wanted them to tell the story of a hard-working athlete during the off-season. The audience can interrupt the images in different ways but come to understand that it will all eventually come to the same meaning.

Fitness Journey

For me, like many others, fitness is an essential part of my everyday life and routine. Starting at a young age I played various sports including football, baseball, and track. Even though my athletic career ended for many of these sports my active lifestyle did not. Fitness has influenced my life in many positive aspects, physically and mentally. The benefits of physical fitness are plentiful, and I have seen these positives attributes play out in my life. Through this outlet, I believe I could influence people to start living a healthier lifestyle by supplying them with both information and motivation. I plan to track my progress weekly on this page through pictures and videos. I will also record clips of various workouts I do and post them with descriptions of the workout. Ideas that I plan on incorporating into a couple of the unit projects are unit one, demonstrate a variety of workouts through photographs and show how they are properly performed at each individual stage until the workout is finished. For my other unit, I plan on doing a video and filming workouts to demonstrate each exercise as well as show what my workout routine consists of.
