Programs used: Adobe Illustrator and InDesign

Description: I designed a brochure for my company called Everest, which is anoutdoor apparel company. It describes our products and mission statement.

Objectives: Set up and align a two-sided, folded document, to become a brochure.Create an original, new logo, and incorporate a minimum of 4 quality images. One

image should be clipped in Photoshop and text-wrapped in InDesign. Write at least

250 words of original copy in at least three paragraphs, headers, and sub headers. The

brochure needs to be print in duplex color, and trimmed to full bleed.

Process: I rst created my logo in Adobe Illustrator. I used the line tool to createthe design, and then used a font off dafont.com for my logo name. I added color

and then a white outer glow with noise, spread, and opacity. I decided to make a

picture of Mt. Everest as my cover. I cut out the background of the front cover using

the quick selection tool in Photoshop. I used the same tool to cut out the picture

of a snowboarder , and used the Photoshop paint tool to cover up the logo on the

snowboard. I then placed smaller pictures on the side, letting them bleed off the edge.

I then added my text. To wrap my text around the mountain, I took my cut out from the

front cover, placed it on the inside of where the front cover would be, and ipped theimage. It was now backwards, so it was like it was the back of my front cover. I then used

the text wrap setting to wrap around with a .25 in bubble, and then inverted it so it was

.25 from the edge of the picture. I then sent the picture to the very back, so it wouldnt

be seen. I then added the rest of my text throughout my brochure. For my nal touches

I added a smaller logo to the back cover, and added outdoor apparel under my front

logo with increased tracking and learning. I then printed and cut out the mountains with

scissors, and trimmed the edges with a cutting board.

Programs Used: Adobe Photoshop

Description: This design has a spiritual theme, focusing on the LDS missionaries. Ithas masked images and black masking behind text to create the montage effect.

Objectives:Create a unied layout with a dominant spiritual message. Learn to blendtwo or more images together using masks; also use a mask to apply a lter to one part

of the image. Apply typography principles of legibility, small copy, and title with varying

text sizes. Select good quality images.

Process:In Adobe Photoshop I opened up my large picture of the missionary. Ithen sharpened his name tag. Next I opened up my other two pictures in new pages.

I used the lasso tool with 100 px feathering to grab the images and place them on

the rst picture. I started with the sister missionaries. I sized them how I wanted, and

then used a vector mask and blending tool to gradually (30% opacity) blend them

into the background. I made sure to keep their faces intact to create a focal point. I

then repeated the process with the scriptures picture and kept the middle point. I then

repeated the process with the scriptures picture and kept the middle of the pages as the

focal point. I then added text, and embossed and beveled it so it would stand out more.

Next I added a new layer and used the black blending tool at 30% opacity to create alight black background for the text to lay on.

Programs Used: Adobe InDesign

Description: This is a ier for a Graduate Leadership Conference. It is for graduated ornearly graduating college seniors.

Objective:Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography. Incorporatebasic InDesign skills to improve basic ier layout. Retrieve image and logo from links

given. Create a project folder with image, logo, and InDesign document to keep links in

InDesign intact.

Process:For this ier I selected a picture and logo from the given collections, andused a repetition of varying sizes of lines to tie in the design. I then created a visually

grabbing title, so viewers would be more intrigued. To keep a professional tone, I used

simple fonts and images to create the sense of professionalism and importance. I used

a picture without a face so that the viewers would not be distracted by the persons

face, and notice that the person in the picture is taking notes. I then made the crucial

information big at the top so if anything, the viewers would know where to nd this

conference.

Programs Used:Text Wrangler, Dreamweaver, and Adobe Photoshop

Description: This project I designed a web page using HTML and CSS. I used a logfrom my logos project, showcasing my Big Island Shaved Ice company.

Objectives: Size and optimize an original log as a .png for a web page so the longside is 300-500 pixels. Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and

how it appeals to a target audience with a minimum of 200 words. Acquire a working

knowledge of HTML and CSS. Customize the provided CSS to format the HTML to

complement the logo design. Change at least the following: the h1 text color and

background color, font colors for the paragraphs and list items, the background color,

font families and add at least on CSS comment. Identify hex colors to match logo using

Photoshop color picker.

Process: To create this web page I used Text Wrangler and Dreamweaver, andPhotoshop for colors. I wrote my own HTML code to create this website, using my

classs example as a model. I then used the demo.css document and linked it to my

HTML. I inserted my resized (using Photoshop) logo into my website and centered it

with tags. I then used Photoshop to nd the hex code for the colors on my logo. I used

the eyedropper to match the exact colors, and then inserted the hex code into my CSS.

I then played with padding and alignment until I got the right amount of white space. I

then straightened out the corners of my body and header by putting the borders at 0.

I nished up by writing about my logo in the HTML. To add emphasis on some parts of

my text, I bolded and italicized certain words using tags.

Programs Used:Adobe Illustrator and InDesign

Description: This is a business card design for the company Poseidon Diving Systems.

Objective:Create a new logo to t a company or personal image. Use the new logoto design consistent layouts for a business card. Business card should be 3.5x2 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, and email on each piece. Use

periods, bullets or spaces in phone number; no parentheses/ hyphens.

Process:I created the logo in Adobe Illustrator, using the line and pen tool. I thencreated a circle and increased the stroke to make the navy blue ring. Once I created the

logo, I went into Adobe InDesign and placed the logo in a 3.5x2 inch rectangle to t a

business card. I then added my title and information. Next, I created another rectangle

of the same size to be the back of my business card. I placed the logo in the bottom

left corner, letting it bleed off the card. To create contrast between the front and back, I

made the back of my card the same color as the circle in my logo. That way all that you

see on the back is the tridents.

Description: This is the stationery letterhead for the company Poseidon DivingSystems.

Objective:Use the new logo to design consistent layouts for a letterhead. Letterheadshould be an 8.5x11 full-bleed optional, but trim only .125. Apply typography rules,

keeping small copy. Keep designs simple with light watermarks and drop shadows and

plenty of whitespace. Include contact information, name, address, phone, and email on

each piece. Use periods, bullets, or spaces in phone number; no parentheses/ hyphens.

Process: I used InDesign again for the stationery. I placed a small logo in the upper lefthand corner, drew a line with the pencil tool, and wrote in my information in the upper

right hand corner. Next, I placed the logo on the page again, this time larger and in

the bottom right hand corner. I then reduced the opacity to 25% to create a watermark

effect. I then made sure all my fonts, design elements, and logos were in the correct

color scheme.

Programs Used:Adobe Illustrator

Description:For this project I designed three different logos for a company I madeup called Big Island Shaved Ice.

Objectives: Create three completely different, original logos to t a company orpersonal image that will appeal to the audience. Do not imitate existing logos or use

previous designs. Use only the Illustrator tools to create and draw your logos. You may

use an image or drawing as a guide to trace it with the pen/pencil, but delete the image

before submitting.

Process: I used Adobe Illustrator to create my logos. I used the shape tool for thesnow cone, using a triangle and circle. I then used the pen tool for similar things like

the smiley face and the ower in the rst logo. I also used the line and pencil tool to

connect the coconut bra in the rst logo and then to create the grass skirt. In my second

logo, I traced a picture of the Hawaiian Islands and then scaled them down to t inside

my snow cone. To make this snow cone more realistic looking, I used a radial gradient

for dimension. The last logo I used the trace of my Hawaiian Islands, but deleted the

smaller islands, and used the big island as my main focus.

Description:This is a picture of my friend on a railroad and she is holding up a peacesign. It has a gold opaque layer over the picture , teal owers, and slightly opaque teal

lines going through the violet text.

Objective:Learn basic photography skills. Choose a color scheme, take a photo tomatch these colors, and incorporate the colors in the layout. Take a quality image with a

digital camera, then download it into Photoshop. Adjust image levels, saturation, color

balance, sharpen tool on separate layer for NDE (non-destructive editing). Size and

crop the image, then place on an 8.5 x11 page layout. Use layers to design text, and

repeating graphic elements in Photoshop.

Process:I used a Canon semi-professional camera to capture my image. I had mymodel Sydney start playing around on this bridge and doing different poses. I found

that I liked this one best out of all the smiling, normal pictures and decided to make a

more fun design. I then edited the photo in Adobe Photoshop. I sharpened, brightened

and xed the colors of the picture to make it stand out more. I also spot healed some

parts of her clothing and the background. I then decided that I did not really want

to focus on the colors or background so much as the essence. I decided to place an

opaque gold layer over the picture as a kind of funky sepia effect. I then added my textand made it violet, the second color in my triadic scheme. I put teal rectangles under

the text to tie in my other color and make the text stand out more. I also played with the

opacity of the rectangles and feathered them out a little. Then I added the text at the

bottom that describes my color scheme. Lastly, I used the shape tool to add the little

teal owers in opposite corners.

Description: This is an advertisement for Madison County Animal Shelters annualadopt a pet weekend. If you adopt an animal between October 17-19, 50% of the

proceeds will be donated to ASPCA to help homeless and abused animals across the

country.

Objective:Comprehend image sizing (how pixels and inches work together). Find,scan and import a high-quality image and 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.

Process:I used Adobe Photoshop to crop and resize my image from Womans Healthmagazine, but not digitally retouch. I then played around with the sizing until I found

just the right amount of whitespace and ow. I did not want to overwhelm the viewer

with contrasting colors, so I only used red and orange as accent colors, and had teal be

the dominant color. I decided to make my body copy white, to stand out against the

bright teal, and added in red as the main text, and bolded it. Since the red was still hard

to see, I added in a white opaque text box behind it for more emphasis. Lastly, I added

in the orange as an arrow pointing to the information with the words Adopt Today!.
