I had not really worked with watercolour in this way before, and learned many new techniques and skills. We started by designing our name in cursive in Adobe Illustrator, I added character to mine by giving it a French cafe theme. We then took our designs and printed them out on watercolour paper to paint. Through the process, I struggled a lot with staying in the fine lines and especially controlling the opaque and water amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WC-name-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WC-name-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WC-name-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WC-name-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WC-name-850x420.jpg 850w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WC-name.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project is a product design for a coffee brand. I have always been drawn to coffee shop aesthetics and designs and wanted to make something that represented that. Another thing that I have always been drawn to is characters for companies, so I incorporated that as well. The first thing I designed was a logo, I used this on the tote bag and the hoodie. After I had a logo, I created a label for my product. The result brought my ideas to life and inspired me to do more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create the logo and label, I used Adobe Illustrator. It was a very tedious process using mockup designs from Placeit.com and sizing everything right. After I had created the designs to the right dimensions, it was very easy to place my image on the mockup and export it. The most difficult part of this project was finding the right items that conveyed the same feeling as my company. I scrolled through Placeit.com mockups forever before I found the ones that fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MoodBoard<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Design, we are required to create a mood board before starting any project. This consists of pulling images, fonts, colour schemes and more from the internet, that influence the idea we want our project to be. Creating mood boards has been one of the most beneficial techniques I&#8217;ve learned for starting a project. I quickly go from having no idea what I want my project to be, to having a guide to follow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

my story, there are twins sisters trapped inside a grand old victorian house. Theyre parents have disappeared and they have returned to this vacation home in hopes to find them. While searching for their parents, the sisters stumble across a glowing light coming from the basement. They wonder if this is where there parents went and decide to go in and are faced with the darkest version of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;To create this&nbsp;poster, I used mainly Adobe Illustrator to put all my graphics and elements together, but I also benefited a lot from Adobe Photoshop. Using Photoshop, I was able to remove the background of images and change the colours of certain graphics to fit the others. I was also able to create the credit block with all the names in Photoshop. I used Illustrator to place everything together and align things to create a symmetrical&nbsp;poster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this process, I learned a lot about juggling the use of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. At first, it was hard to keep track of what I was working on for each application. But with more practice, I found that the two programs working together are very powerful. In Illustrator, you have the ability to right-click directly on an element of art and edit it in Photoshop. Learning this sped up my process and helped me organise my work so much more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MoodBoard<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-MB-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-MB-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-MB-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-MB-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-MB-850x638.png 850w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-MB.png 1066w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Designed in Adobe Illustrator <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\"><strong>Movie Poster<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-pos.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-pos.jpg 540w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-pos-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mov-pos-300x444.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Designed in Adobe InDesign<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI Movie Poster<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ai-pos.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ai-pos.jpg 513w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ai-pos-192x300.jpg 192w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~CharlotteV\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ai-pos-300x468.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Designed in Adobe Photoshop with Generative AI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Book Jacket<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This book cover follows the same storyline as the movie poster.

My teacher always reminds us, &#8220;design is in everything&#8221;, and the more I look around the world, the more I see it. I have valued the experiences of being able to learn and understand the meaning of art from this class. Before Freestyle, especially design, I had never thought of art as highly as I do now. Design has opened my eyes to endless possibilities and taught me that there&#8217;s creativity in everything and everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Water Colour Name This project was an opportunity for a new experience for me.
