Business CardThis project was made to practice our design skills in creating professional business cards.

Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign

February 27, 2016

Comm130-07

Nichole Nugent

Use the basic tools in Illustrator & InDesign.

Create a new logo to t a company or personal image. Do not imitate existing logos or use previous designs. Don’t use photos or live trace.Use the new logo to design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead. Photos areokay on business card and letterhead as additional design elements. Letterhead should be 8.5

x 11, full-bleed optional, but trim only .125. Business card should be 3.5 x 2 and printed above

center on a vertical page. Apply typography rules, keeping small copy.Keep designs simple with light watermarks and drop shadows and plenty of white space.Include contact information: name, address, phone, website, and email on each piece. Use peri-ods, bullets, or spaces in phone number; no parentheses/ hyphens.

I rst used Adobe Illustrator to create the tool logo by tracing simple clip arts in order to

create vectored images. I then transferred it to Adobe InDesign to create the layouts for both.Once the logos were transfered, and after I had made the stationary, I created a layout thatwas consistent with what I hade prevously designed. Transfering elements such as the place-ment of the logo, and the three different colored lines accenting the design.

Event AdThis is a project made to demonstrate the design capabilities of Microsoft Word.

Microsoft Word, basic scanner software

Nichole Nugent

Comprehend image sizing (how pixels and inches work together)

Find, scan and import a high-quality image.Create a full-bleed design.Choose a color scheme and typeface(s) that work for your message and audience.

Learn to use only Word design features without using any Adobe programs, includingPhotoshop.

I used Microsoft word and a personal scanner to create this ad. The main image was scannedoff the back of a copy of Star Wars Battlefront by Dice and EA games. I wanted to keep withthe theme of Star Wars throughout the ad, so I downloaded a free font that matches the title,and created the red and green accents to look like lazer blasts, and keep things in the same

world.

Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography.Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic ier layout.

Retrieve image and logo from links on this page.Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesign document to keep links inInDesign intact.

I used Adobe InDesign to create this yer. Primarily I used the text-box and type-on-path

tools, but I also used the shape tools mixed with the gradient color option to create some

of the other design elements. I made sure to repeat the elements that I was using. I alsoensured that everything was well aligned.

Nichole Nugent

Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web page so the long side is300 – 500 pixels.

Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and how it appeals to a targetaudience. (Minimum of 200 words. Include rationale for colors, appeal to target audience, de-sign skills, etc,)

Acquire a working knowledge of HTML. (Include all required tags – Doctype (provided), html,

head, title, meta charset (provided), body, h1, h2, p, ol or ul (with li tags), img, br, and a

link to blog)

Acquire a working knowledge of CSS. (Customize the provided CSS provided to format theHTML to complement the logo design. Change at least the following: The h1 text color & h1

background color, font colors for the paragraphs & list items, the background color, font fami-lies and add at least one css comment.)

Identify hex colors to match logo, using Photoshop color picker.

Open the HTML page in a web browser and capture a quality screen shot with .5 inchmargins for printing.

Using Text Wrangler for Mac, I used html and css coding to create this webpage. I’ll admit that

this was not my favorite project. My mind didn’t seem to want to wrap aroud the concepts ofcode. I fortuantly had an initial layout that I could build off of.

PhotodesignThis project was created to demonstrate our ability to take quality photographs, and edit themin Adobe Photoshop.

Learn basic photography skills.Choose a color scheme, take a photo to match those colors, then incorporate the colors intothe layout.Use a digital camera to take a quality image, then download it.

Adjust image levels, saturation, color balance, sharpen tool on separate layers for NDE(non-destructive editing.)

Size and crop the image, then place on an 8.5×11 page layout.Use layers to design text, and repeating graphic elements in Photoshop.

Print with full-bleed margins. Trim only 1/8″ (0.125) from all four sides.

I used a Nikon camera and photoshop to create this yer. Using photoshop I made a fewminor edits to the photo I took, like sharpness, contrast and other elements like those.

After I had edited the photo, I transfered it to Adobe Indesign in order to put everythingtogether. I honestly wasn’t sure what to create with this design, so it’s not the mostserious of projects.

MontageThis is a “Spiritual” project made for my design class. I decided to take something controver-sial and close to a lot of people’s hearts in order to really get people to look at it and considermy design. It was created to demonstrate our abilities with more advanced editing tools in

Adobe Photoshop.

Use the FOCUS design process with strong focal point and ow

Unify a layout with a consistent theme and dominant spiritual messageLearn to blend two or more images together gradually, using masksDemonstrate more advanced Photoshop skills for layout with multiple elementsUse a mask to apply a lter to one part of the image

Apply typography principles (titles, quotes, events or scriptures…your choice)

Format type: Legibility; Small copy & Title with varying text size. Theme word(s)

Select good quality images

I used Adobe Photoshop and a standard google image search. After choosing my topic, Isearched for a high quality image, (nothing under 1024×768) and added it into my photo. I

decided on a good shape for my image because I didn’t want to simply use the standardrectangle. I then feathered the edges to make them softer and found a good image for mybackground. I used different masking techniques on the background image of the feet to makeit blend well with both the main image and the black background. After deciding on somegood text, I chose how to break it up. After some suggestions and critiques, I was able to

break it up further and make everything easier to look at.

BrochureThis is a design made for a brochure layout made for my band, The Noisy Neighbors.

Nichole Nugent

Set up and align a two-sided, folded document.Create an original, new logo and use it in a brochure.Incorporate quality images. Incorporate at least four quality images, not including the logo.One should be clipped in Photoshop and text-wrapped in InDesign so the text follows the

cutout shape of the image.Write at least 250 words of original copy in at least three paragraphs,headers, and subheaders.Trim for a full bleed and print in duplex (two-sided) color.

I rst used Adobe Illustrator to design the logo. After this I found the pictures for the band

member that I wanted to use. I knew that I wanted this brochure to be an introducing tool forthe band. After nding the picture that I wanted, I cropped it so that each person was isolat -

ed. After this I found a picture from a show and inserted it as well and did some editing inPhotoshop in oder to get ride of the background. After writing the bios for the members andthe band itself, I put everything together and moved it all until it looked the way I wanted it to.

Noisy

Neighbors

Ben’s talent on the bass is what drew him into the attention of

his band. Having grown up in Michigan, latter to marry a mutual

friend of James and Austin, they all quickly grew close. Preferring

the heavier styles of music to the rock that many bands tend to

flow toward, his influence is heard greatly in the fast paced and

deep bass lines of the band’s music.

Easily the most laid back and carefree of the group, his influence

keeps the music and the mood light, especially when things get

tough. His primary style of music leans towards the sounds of Jason

Mraz. His band-mate James, whom he’s been a friend with since

early high school, fondly says, “Your music sounds like what would

result if Jason Mraz and Coldplay had a baby.”

Having grown up in Wisconsin with Austin, their friendship was a

solid foundation with which the rest of the band could build on.

As the drummer for the band, he makes sure everything is neat

and sounding uniform. He was immediately accepted as the bestpossible drummer for the band after his flawless performance of

legendary Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker’s covers.

Calling no place home, James has lived his life in many different

places, Utah, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, California, Idaho and back again.

He has sung his whole life and considers it the one thing he is truly

good at. With a very 90’s skater-punk background and attitude, he

keeps the music fast and gritty, also making things interesting when

he gets bored back-stage. However, he is being mellowed by his

wife and new baby on the way.

Brought to you all the way from the Midwest, theNoisy Neighbors have been playing together for

a staggering two months. Coming from different

areas of the Midwest, they all have differingbackgrounds that make their sound as unique as

it is. Some of their favorite things about home

are things like, the greener grass from the sideyou wish you were on, the fat, fat cows, and the

strength of the second amendment in the area,

that allows them the right to shoot stuff. They

would like to share publicly, a personal messageto their namesake, their neighbors, “We

apologize for the noise, but we feel

that the fact that you called

the cops on us was

inappropriate.”

LogosThis is a project made to demonstrate my knowledge of the basic elements of design, the useof Adobe Illustrator, and color.

Nichole Nugent

Create three completely different, original logos to t a company or personal image that will

appeal to the audience. Do not imitate existing logos or use previous designs.

Market research: gather opinions from at least ten people about which logo appealsmost to them.Use only the Illustrator tools to create and draw your logos. (No Illustrator pre-fabricated

ares, symbols, etc.. No photos or live-tracing. You may use an image or drawing as a guide to

trace it with the pen/pencil, but delete the image before submitting.)

Rene one logo with variations for color

I used Adobe Illustrator to create this logo. I found a high resolution picture of the front ofa gun, looking down the barrel. I then traced the basic shapes of that image and created myown version of that picture. I then used different colors in a monochromatic scheme to try and

nd a color that matched the mood of the logo.
