Brochure
Description: A two-sided offset brochure for a recital.
Date: 12/9/14
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 Section 04/ Brother Judkins.
Program/tools: Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop.
Objectives: Learn how to use each of the Adobe programs together.
Process: I began by creating a rough sketch on paper, with measurements to figure
out how to do the layout in InDesign. Once I had my InDesign document set up, I
created the brochure by using different graphics that had been created in Illustrator
(the logo, saxophone and cloud) and them adding them to an InDesign document.
I edited each of the pictures with the quick select tool in Photoshop. I took out the
background, and then in InDesign added a basic feather to make the edges softer.

Letterhead

Description: Using an original logo created by me, a design for a letterhead.

Date: 11/8/14
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 Section 04/ Brother Judkins.
Program/tools: Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator
Objectives: Create a professional letterhead for a ficticous company.
Process:Using Adobe Illustrator. I created the lion, and the grass. For the lion, I used
the ellipses, star, and arc tool. The star was only used for the nose, and the arc for
the mouth. I roughened the mane and added anchor points to manipulate the shape.
I did the same with top of the lions head to make his hair stand out. For the grass,
I simply used the line tool and varied the length. Once I was done, I used Adobe
Indesign to create the logo. I placed both the lion and the grass into the document. I
picked a lighter green for the background, and then changed the opacity so it would
be light enough for letters to be written on.

sized down.

name tag. To make the text stand out, I used a drop shadow and an outer glow in the
blending options.
