Program(s) /Tools

Objective
Create a professional brochure.
Learn how to wrap text.
Learn how to use paragraph styling.

Process
The first thing I did was create a logo, so that when I went to start working on my brochure
I would have a little more direction. I created the hexagon shape by using the pen tool and
I created the tent with the shape tool. Once my logo was complete I started creating my
brochure. I decided to do a tri-fold design so I set up the layout so that I knew what needed to
go where. Once there are created the shapes such as the hexagons, trees, tents, and picture
shapes with the pen tool.

Objective
Design a orginal logo.
Use it to create a professional business card.
Learn how to write proper contact information.

Process
To make the logo I combined the letters I and D together. I then drew the arrow designs by
using the shape tool. I decided to go with teal as the color sheme because it is a very popular
color with young adults right now. I then took the logo and put it one a grey background in
InDesign for the front. For the back I used the same arrow design and added the company
information.

Objective
Create a letterhead with an original logo.
Learn how to add a watermark.

Process
On the letter head I decide to put the logo in the top left hand corner and the contact info on
the top right hand corner. I then added the arrow design that was on my logo. I also added a
watermark on the letter head by taking a simpler version of the logo to the background and
lowering the opacity

Text Wrangler and Notepad++

Objective
Acquire a knowlegde of html and css.
Display an orginal logo on the page.
Type up orginal body copy.

Process
I had never used html or Css so it was fun to learn about all the things you can do with it. I used
a couple websites to learn how to add things including w3schools.com. I added a logo that I
had previously designed, and typed up all the web word content. I then adjusted the padding
and font styles to make the web page presentable. I also added a picture from the web as a
background.

Montage

Program(s) /Tools
Adobe Photoshop

Objective
Learn how to cleanly blend at least two different images together.
Have a clear focal point.

Process
I first found the two images I wanted to use and set one as a background. Then I took the other
image cut it out and put it on top of the other one. I then blended the two pictures together.
This step took a lot of work to get it just right. I put a white box around the words to make them
more legible. I only used one font but different line weights and styles to add emphasis. Finally
I added a film grain filter and masked out the bottom portion of the picture so only the sky had
the filter.

Imagery

Program(s) /Tools
Adobe Photoshop

Objective
Learn how to do basic photo edits.
Use layers to design text, and repeating graphic elements in Photoshop.

Process
I decided that I wanted to use a split complementary color scheme for the picture so I used
blue, gold and brick in the picture that I took. I used a Cannon EOS Rebel Sl1 to take the picture.
For the Picture I used the basic edits to improve the picture. I changed the color of Emilys shirt
and necklace just a little bit so that they fit perfectly with my color scheme. I used rectangles
with rounded edges throughout the design because I felt like it matched the bricks in the
background.

Logos

Three different personally designed logos for the same company.

Program(s) /Tools
Adobe Illustrator

Objective
Create three varying logos.
Learn the basics of Illustrator.

Process
I used a lot of the shape tools to make the basic shapes for the sno cones and the castle. I added
a gradient to the first and second logos to give it a nice multicolored look. For the lettering
around the third logo I had the text follow a path so it would be curved.

Program(s) /Tools
Adobe InDesign

Objective
Apply the design principles and correct typography.
Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve the layout.
Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesign document to keep links intact.

Process
I drew out four sketches and then I chose the one I liked the best. I then took that design and
laid it out using Adobe InDesign. I put the picture on a black background to add contrast. I
added further contrast by increasing the title font size to make it stand out. I created repetition
by using grey boxes on the top and bottom. I left white space that is useful and not trapped. I
used a small font size for the body so it wasnt distracting but still large enough to read.
