InstructorCaryn Esplin
ObjectivesThe create a varity of logos, using Adobe Illustrator, with consistant content
but different designs
ProcessThe first thing I did for this project was brainstorm. I used the FOCUS pro-cess to sketch all my ideas. Then I used Adobe Illustrator for all the designs.
The first design I used the line tool and just put arrow head on the ends. The
middle tool I used the pen tool to create my banner type object. And then use
the line tool with arrow heads again. The last design I just used text and the
line tool. I had to use all my skills of design and also the skills I have acquired
using Adobe InDesign.

ObjectivesTo help Elite Music Enterprises grow as a business. The web page was also de-
signed so that anyone who was curious as to what we do, could log on and find
out all they needed to know.
ProcessEvery sense the company started, we knew we would need a good website. So
we designed the website in SquareSpace. I took all of the picture that are on
the website. I also helped create the layout, edit all the body copy and text,
and helped design the logo, and slogan. I am the Social Media director for the
company so this was one of my first jobs.

ProcessI used Adobe InDesign. This was my first time using this software so I didget help but now that I have finished this project I feel like I learned so much
about InDesign and I feel much more confident in using it. I did use to FO-

and the text boxes first. Then after moving around all the shapes, I placed the
information in and the picuture. I then pushed the picture to the back of the

ObjectivesTo create a professional looking letterhead and stationery that a company coul
use. And to get famliar with a letterhead and stationery setup in Indesign.
Process
I created the two parts of the logos using Adobe Illustrator. I then exportedthose files to Indesign where I used the inst ructions to make a business card
layout and a letterhead layout. By tweaking and playing with my two types of
logos, I finally came up with a simple business card and a matching letter hea
for my brothers music company. I used all my skills I have learned in my visua
media class thus far. I used my Adobe skills to navigate my way through Illus-
trator and Indesign.

ObjectivesTo blend two images together using masks
ProcessI found both images on a popular blog I follow, and uploaded one into photo-
shop, then placed the other one on top. I added a mask so I could begin using
the brush tool to take away parts of the picture I didnt want. I took away the
hard edges then used a softer opacity to blend the image as desired. I then add-
ed the filters to both pictures. I then added the text boxes and text I wanted.

CourseCommunications 130, Section 2
InstructorCaryn Esplin
ObjectivesTo get famliar with designing and printing a brochure and the layout assosiated
with that.
Process
First I created the Capital Fitness Logo in Adobe Illustrator. I wanted a simpleand powerful logo that would capture the eye of someone really looking for a
gym. I think took that logo and put it in Adobe Indesign to create my brochure
layout. I used a normal layout for a folding brochure but I cut out the top and
bottom on the front page to give it a litt le edge. I then used my color scheme,
mainly grays, to design a layout. I placed my images and placed my text in and
worked on it for a couple weeks to get the lay out right so everything looked
like it had enough space.

CourseCommunications 130, Section 2
InstructorCaryn Esplin
ObjectivesTo create a webpage using html and css, and understand how to set up a web-
site
Process
I created the website and used html and css in TextWrangler. I have never doneany type of coding before so this was very interesting and useful to learn in
class. They gave us the basic codes and css format, I changed several things
such as the background and wording, and also I inserted my logo I designed.
I used a tutor to help me get the coding down and help me do things such as
increase the padding and make the logo go into the center.

DescriptionCreate a design to show case a picture we had taken.
ProgramsPhotoshop
Date2/7/2014
CourseCommunications 130, Section 2
InstructorCaryn Esplin
ObjectivesCreate a design and incorperate a picture we had photograped into the design,
and to place a color swatch from our photo in the design as well.
ProcessI formulated a plan using the FOCUS process before I began. I picked a color
scheme, then using my D5100 Nikon SLR I took this photo, using good light
and composition. I edited the photo and created the design in Photoshop. I
used Levels, saturation, selective color, and sharpness to edit my picture. I then
used my design skills and the help of the lab assistants to create the layout.
Getting the colors I wanted for the swatches was the hardest part. But it all
came together to look exactly like I wanted it too.
