Photoshop Buisness Card Project

For our final project in my contemporary media class, we had to design a business card using Photoshop. We downloaded a business card guide from the internet to help us figure out the dimensions. Before we got started designing we had to create a professional design document listing all of the elements on the business card: 2 fonts, background color, color scheme, contact info, original graphic design image and finished graphic design.

Here is one of the main color schemes.

Photoshop For Beginners: The Power of Layers

This week in my Contemporary Media class, we used Photoshop to create a logo. We used Special Effects, Drop Shadows, Color Pallet and the Text Tool.  Layers are important for any design work because that's how projects can get edited

Designing logos is the job of a graphic designer. Now that I know how to design a logo in photoshop, I am able to make logos for local businesses.

WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY MEDIA?

contemporary media is advanced Digital arts, brand new technology for the modern time.



The definition of contemporary is existing at the same time or of the present time period. An example of contemporary are the works of Fitzgerald and Hemingway. An example of contemporary is furniture in the modern style

Living or occurring at the same time.


Contemporary: is living or occurring at the same time and belonging to or occurring in the present.

Contemporary media means: advanced technology studies



Here are a few examples of the word contemporary:



Usage: Since contemporary can mean either `of the same period' or `of the present period', it is best to avoid it where ambiguity might arise, as in a productionof Othello in contemporary dress. A synonym such as modern or present-day would clarify if the first sense were being used, while a specific term, such asElizabethan, would be appropriate for the second sense.



Contemporary art is the art of today, produced by artists who are living in the twenty-first century. Contemporary art provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary society and the issues relevant to ourselves, and the world around us.




belonging to or occurring in the present.




Media: the means of communication, as a radio and television, newspaper, and magazines, that reach or influence people widely




syn: contemporary, contemporaneous, coeval, coincident mean happening or existing at the same time. contemporary often refers to persons or their actsor achievements: Hemingway and Fitzgerald, though contemporary, shared few values. contemporaneous is applied chiefly to events: the rise of industrialism,contemporaneous with the spread of steam power. coeval refers either to very long periods of time, or to remote or distant times: coeval stars, shining formillennia; coeval with the dawning of civilization. coincident means occurring at the same time but without causal relationship: World War II was coincident withthe presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt.






My Definition Of Contemporary Media: //The definition of contemporary is existing at the same time or of the present time period. An example of contemporary are the works of Fitzgerald and Hemingway. An example of contemporary is furniture in the modern style.// is advanced technology in academic learning & communication through technology such as Facebook, Tumblr, Insta-Gram, SnapChat, SoundCloud etc you get the point.
