Brochure
Description:
A brochure designed to advertise a jewelry
company called Island silver.

Date:
March 29, 2015

Course Instructor:
Cory Kerr

Program(s):
Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign.

Objectives:
Set up and align a two-sided, folded
document.

Process:
Adobe Illustrator was used to design a
treasure chest and palm tree logo. I then
took pictures of rings and other jewelry and
masked them in photoshop.
All of these were then placed into Indesign
and were laid out into a brochure format
using guide lines and rulers.
After printing two copies of this brochure
to adjust some minor problems with the
treasure chest lining up, it was complete.
Having the front cover be a vector shape
helped immensely.

Montage
Description:
This is a montage of a statue of Buddha and
also of Jesus Christ. The message Every
religion teaches to be good, is written in
Thai and also translated into English.

Cory Kerr

Program(s):
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:
Learn to blend two or more images together
gradually, using masks.
Demonstrate more advanced Photoshop
skills for layout with multiple elements.
Select good quality images.

Process:

Both of the images were masked in

Photoshop and put into a background of
a dirty wall. A filter was used to give the
background a foggy look. Paint was put
behind the text to give it more contrast.
Using another mask I brushed off half
of the image where the text went, which
actually was a happy little accident, as Bob
Ross would say.

piece as well as the outer maroon part of
