I brainstormed few ideas that I could use for the poster. I came up with my final idea after i did some researches on Google.com for some ideal images. I then edited the two images that I decided to use for this poster by using colorization on Photoshop. I used the brush tool to blend the images gradually together. I also added my text Live in the Moment and applied a filter notepaper on the text as well.

Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop

- Use The basic tools of Illustrator & InDesign. - Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image. - Design consistent layouts for a business card. - Learning to keep thing simple by having watermarks and drop shadows light and white space.

Process:

I first created a simple logo on Illustrator for the Kisa Wedding Planner company. Then I place the file into InDesign to start creating the business for the company. I wanted to have more contrast with the colors that I used on the Logo. I then decided to use black for the color of Business Card. The use of color is able to catch the attention. I tired to keep it simple but eye-catching.

Imaging
Desciption: Date:
A personal taken photo that has been edited by Photoshop. October 17, 2013

Course/Instructor: Program(s)/Tools: Objectives:

Comm 130 Visual Media Section 2/ Julie Peterson

Photoshop (Adobe Creative Cloud) - Learn basic photography skills. - Adjust image brightness, contrast, hue and saturation levels. - Use a selection tool to isolate a portion of the image. - Desaturate the selected portion of the image. - Use a filter or colorize a portion of the image.

Process:

I first took the original image by following the rule of thirds. I then cropped the photo into a 6in x 6in image and started editing the photo by using Photoshop. I adjusted the colorful background into black/white. I also toned down the background so the flower could become the main focus on the image. Moreover, I adjusted the color of the main image, the flower, so it would even stand out more in the photo. Finally, I did some touch up by using spot healing brush tool and brush tool to cover some black spot on the leafs and flowers, as well as the fire extinguisher on the wall that was originally part of the photo.

Process:

I wanted to do something different and thats the reason why I picked this picture. I first edited the picture with adjusting the contrast and brightness of the picture. I was going to use left or right alignment for the text; however, I want to create an artistic alignment. Thats the reason why I put all all the text within or on the toilet and the lid. I also use word art to draw attention to the D-T-P.

Flier

Course/Instructor: Program(s)/Tools:
InDesign

Comm 130 Visual Media Sec 02/ Sister Julie Peterson

Objectives:

- Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography. - Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier layout. - Retrieve image and logo from links on this page. - Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesign document to keep links intact.

Process:

I first created 4 sketches with different ideas. and then i com bined the ideas from my sketches in order to create this final flier with InDesign. The use of different fonts demonstrates the principle of contrast and i also used image and objects to create flow on my flier. Leaving white space on my flier was able to create room for the readers to breath. It is easy to read and understand by using simple layout and design.
