InDesign

 I found InDesign to be one of the most challenging softwares to learn. Although it took a while to get used to, I'm proud of my final portfolio. I used green grids which I found to be useful when spacing my photos and text out and the green helped to differentiate the lines I was looking at. I'm going to continue to learn how to excel in InDesign to keep improving :)

Letter to my 40 year old self

Here is the letter I used to put toward the making of my Calligram :) Dear Taylor, Has anyone ever told you what you mean to them? The good and the bad. Because right now, at 20 years old in October 2020, you have a lot of conflict on who you are and how much you’re valued in life. I hope you’re healthy and happy, but when you come across harder days, I like to remember the unexpected compliments. “You smile very well with your eyes, you seem genuinely kind and you’re very beautiful” - Woman at Boatyard “No on else in our family has hair like yours, I used to tie ribbons to my hair so it would feel long” - My Mom “You have really nice eyebrows” - Ariel the first time I met her “You have such a cute nose” - Ani in 7th grade “You speak so well, you should really go into sales” -Multiple professors/mentors  “My dog loves you, that’s crazy, they don't act like that with anyone” - Multiple Pet owners “Has anyone told you you’re extremely photogenic” - Ms. G senior year Little things can
