The Yellow House
This picture was for the one point-perspective assignment. To enhance the depth of field I added a vignette to get the viewers focused on the yellow house. In addition, I also change the tone of the buildings to a blue tone to make the scene more cold and cloudy.
Wagen’s in the West Island
This shot was taken on a rainy evening in the West Island. I decided to enhance the blue colours in the photo because it was just that kind of feeling I had at the time I shot it. It’s also 1 point perspective.

Hi, Sonya Adelman Here
About
Let me introduce myself. My name is Sonya Adelman and I am a young Graphic Design student in my final year at John Abbott College. I have been taken by world media and the advertising world since I was an eleven year old watching an animated Oreo commercial on cable television. Advertising and Graphic Design to me is the perfect combination of arts and marketing I’ve always sought to aim towards in my future professional career. In this decade I’ve continued to be interested in that same field, not without learning a few things along the way; I love to write, I am obsessed with social media and I absolutely adore anything to do with packaging since you can have fun with doodles, funky colours and shapes!

Future
I plan on continuing my education in graphic design before searching for a full-time job. I told myself before coming to John Abbott college that I want to learn as much as possible. Not only to increase my knowledge but create more opportunities for myself in the future as a vector artist.

Zac Taillefer: Graduating Profile
About me
So, here you are to learn a little bit about me. In 2016 I started at John Abbott in 2016 in Arts, Literature and Communication. I took a lot of photography classes, both digital and film. I also took animation classes. These classes helped me find my passion for design, and in 2017 I decided to apply for the Graphic and Web design program. I am an extremely hardworking and dedicated person; when I set my mind to something I work relentlessly until it is finished. I take my work very seriously and am very open to criticism. I work extremely well with others.
Graphic and Web Design
With the three-year Graphic and Web Design program, I learned to master many programs such as the Adobe suite, Atom, Office365. We covered all sorts of projects, from posters to complex packaging to web development, both front end and back end. We created media of all sorts from posters to animations to video editing. For web classes, we started by learning to code html and CSS in basic text editors and then moved on to using more complex applications like Dreamweaver. We also touched on php and creating sites in WordPress. My favourite class was photography, a passion of mine since I was a child that my grandfather, a high-ranking designer, taught me. I also really enjoyed my web classes and excelled very quickly.
Influences
My designs and work have been heavily influenced by the extreme sports world. I grew up doing all sorts of extreme sports such as surfing, snowboarding and downhill mountain biking. I was always watching the content that companies like RedBull House Media or Monster energy would post. My bookshelves were filled with Thrasher magazines and Snowboarder Mag. All this along with mainly shopping at Empire and Vans has led me to create with a very distinct style. You can find much of my work on my portfolio

Future Plans
During my stage, I am looking to further understand how the industry works and gain enough experience and knowledge to start working confidently. Following my graduation in winter of 2020 I am planning on going straight into the workforce instead of doing the university route. I will be looking for full-time work as of the summer.
Rachel Dallaire: My Future in Graphic Design
Who Am I
Hello! My name is Rachel Dallaire. I am a third-year graphic design student at John Abbott College and I am an extremely social person who expresses her love for art digitally.
Stage
I am detail oriented, responsible, charismatic and have excellent people skills which is why my niche of knowledge would be directed towards marketing and graphic design for brand companies. I have always taken interest for the advertising and photography aspect behind these companies. Now that I am in the process of learning the marketing aspect as well, I hope to be involved in this section too.
Ever since I was young, I was a very visual person especially when it came to learning. This resulted in my soft spot for creative photography and advertisements.
My dream job would be to work in a brand company revolving around clothes, shoes or beauty products. I have always admired these types of companies as I have been surrounded with models for various companies. I had the opportunity to observe all the work put in before the final advertisement so after a while I started to get the hang of it. For now, this is a very general direction but I would be happy to explore any direction my path takes me.
Future
After I finish my DEC in Graphic & Web Design, I would like to continue in university to obtain a BAC in marketing and then start my career as a graphic designer. After three years of knowledge and different perspectives I would like to finally apply the skills that I have learned. I would love to work in a branding company where I would focus more on advertisements, logos, photography and marketing. Above everything, one of my biggest goals during my career is expanding my knowledge and ideas as much as possible. I hope to gain experience and learn from my colleagues in.
