Designer Bio Progress

The Beginning

Towards the beginning of my design process, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my bio. The first thing I decided to do was write down all of the elements that we had been learning about in 2110.  My first process was to go through the rubric on Carmen and make sure that  I had  all the requirements listed there. I then tried to make it all organized with headers and look nice before I changed the colors of my name and started to put horizontal lines. These were all very little beginning things that helped me organize my thoughts and get a starting template.

The Middle

At this point I got into the groove of things. I put my list of favorites down as well as all the ideas I had written in my journal. This included what I wanted to do with my major, what a wild dream of mine was, and why I got into design in the first place. In this part of the process, I really just started revising to make my paragraphs sound and look better. I decided what order I wanted my headers to be in, and where I was imagining my pictures to go. This was the stage where I was deciding what looked best, and how I wanted to come off as a person and a designer.

The End

This was my favorite stage of the process by far. In this stage, the first thing I did was decide what photos I wanted to use and edit them to fit on the page nicely. I got all the pictures I used for my favorites off a free use picture website, and still posted links on a separate word document. I then took them and edited them in Canva to be in the template I wanted them to be in. I took the pictures I wanted to use of myself and also edited them into a collage. I put the pictures and very tediously went back and fourth through the edit and the preview changes page to make sure they were where I wanted to be. I ended up with 15 revisions. I then proof read everything to make sure it all sounded correct and there you have it! My completed designer bio.
