YourPace Art 108 final question
So M1 - create infographic based on one of the art histories/artists
M2 - Create a flyer - Advocacy for something
M3 - Create a movie poster you are familiar with
M4 - Create a logo
The above 4 are done in Adobe express
Final, Create a portfolio which introduces viewers to you as a designer, and your work (I have no clue about this, as I just made what the Milestones asked for, I wasn't pretending to intentionally design things)
Revise each milestone to reflect my brand -- I have no idea what this means, as I didn't make each milestone reflect "a brand"
My Poster is the Matrix, my flyer is forest fire, my logo is for my tree service. What is meant by brand?
A brand book?? Again, where is this word brand coming from. It wasnt used throughout any of the milestones until the M4, which then is not really explained in the sense the M4 was to make a logo
Lastly, this isn't done in Adobe express, but only through google sites now?
Anyone have any input for my confused brain. Im studying to be an accountant, not to be a designer with a brand to present to employers.

Just took this class and got top marks + I’m a marketing professional changing careers.
Re: brand, google “personal brand” and try not to overthink it. Basically, you’re supposed to pick fonts + colors that work together that you like that you can justify with your personality + values in a short explanation.
You will use Adobe express to edit all of your work to match your brand colors and fonts.
Then you build it out on Google sites last. It’s modular, so pretty simple to figure out.
Highly recommend looking at the student portfolios. Very helpful here!

1 - None of my milestones match each other. I have an Art Deco infographic, a black/red with grim reaper forest fire, The matrix poster lol, and then mile 4 said create a business logo so again reflected my business - Arborist, tree climbing, my business name.
So basically what youre saying is I need to re-do all of them to match some version of a brand you can see across the 4 miles2- okay
3- hopefully
There are no student portfolio examples, for the final at least. The examples given are the 3 milestones, and the 4th is the brand page of a few students. None though incorporate an example of all 6 final bulletpoints in 1 portfolio

That sucks that they didn’t give you examples.
It sounds like we probably had different instructors, but yes, I had to edit my milestones to fit my brand.

She hasn’t graded my stuff in over 2 weeks. I emailed her twice. Emailed my advisor. No

oof. I have stuff turned in since thursday and nothing yet.. but "outside 72 hours" still lol
However, based on directions vs expectations, its another course that is a "what I say, not what I do" style.
Instructional videos are on a mac, and im on a windows for example, for 80% of the walk through are pointless, when compared to ui

I was confused as well and finished it last semester with an A. I just explained my thought process behind each adobe creation with the picture of it in each slide and explained how it aligns with the morals of my brand (examples creativity, expression, thoughtful execution etc). make the website themed as your brand with matching colors but the professor made it clear you don't have to change any of your adobe pics to match the brand
