Business Card

Program(s) used: Adobe Illustrator, InDesign

Date: June 12, 2015

Course: Communication 130

Objectives: Use basic skills in Illustrator and InDesign

incorporating with typography rules.

Process: I started sketching some ideas that I had.

However, those did not have a message to the audience,

so I had to give up all the ideas and start over from the

beginning. I took time to think about what is web design

and got the idea of the logo. I created the shapes of my

initial HB by placing the squares that would look like a

wireframe of a website. I also put the pen tool mark on

the back of the card because I used it a lot when I designed

something with Illustrator. I used Illustrator to design the
business card.

Stationary

Program(s) used: Adobe InDesign

Date: June 12, 2015

Course: Communication 130

Objectives: Use new logo to design consistent layouts for

a letterhead.

Process: I used the logo which I created for the business

card and rearranged them in InDesign. By repeating the
dots, I tried to achieve composing a consistent design.

Web Page

Program(s) used: Photoshop

Date: June 27, 2015

Course: Communication 130

Objectives: Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and

CSS.

Process: I created the web page from pre-made html and

css file that were given for the project. I changed the color
so that would match with the logos color theme by using

eye dropper tool of Photoshop. I also managed to arrange

the image placement so that would be aligned to the center

and have good amount of padding around it. Then, I tried
to add more interesting feature to the background rather
than just having a plain solid color background: I added

some texture by adding some image over the color. I chose

the title serif font that would go along with the Web
Design in the logo.

Event Ad

Program(s) used: Word

Date: May 15, 2015

Course: Communication 130

Objectives: Learn how to create an ad only with Word.

Process: I used only Word with this project. I started

finding a picture that is interesting and be able to create

some event that go along with the image. Then I scanned

that image from a magazine. The magazine had some

texture on it, but I thought that would go along with the

message so I chose it anyway. Then, I designed an ad with

Word. I tried to achieve creating flow in the image and

sending fun and pop message by adding colors and circles. I

tried to keep the design simple by choosing simple and sold
title with only important imformation.

Logo

Program(s) used: Adobe Illustrator

Date: June 7, 2015

Course: Communication 130

Objectives: Use only the Illustrator tools to create and

draw your logos. Market research: gather opinions from at

least ten people about which logo appeals most to them.

Process: I used illustrator to create a logo for the brand

that I like. First, I searched about the company and

gather information. I decided to use a spoon which I draw

with pen tool. I chose the color theme to be warm and
trustworthy.

Flyer

Program(s) used: Adobe InDesign

Date: May 10, 2015

Course: Communication 130

Objectives: Apply the design principles and use

appropriate typography. Incorporate basic InDesign skills

to improve basic flier layout.

Process: I created four sketches with some different ideas,

and then I created the digital version by using InDesign. I

used circles in the design to add unity in the composition.

The hardest part was to decide the contrast of the title and

the back ground. I had to print out couple times to find the
best contrast to it.

Montage

Program(s) used: Adobe Photoshop

Date: May 30, 2015

Course: Communication 130

Objectives: Learn to blend two or more images together

gradually, using masks. Unify a layout with a consistent
theme and dominant spiritual message.

Process: The first step of this project was deciding the

message. Recently, I started climbing and it requires lot

of strength, self-control, and also finding a good course to

climb up. Then, I fond the Elder Andersens quote about

the road of discipleship. I decided to use one of photo that

I have taken while I was climbing with my friends and put
the temple and the scripture image by using Photoshop.

Now, I decided the color theme to be navy and gold. I used

the water paint filter on the main image because I thought
painting is also planning rather than just throwing colors

on the canvas. Then I placed the scripture image over the

rock so that can guide us towards the right direction. I

placed the temple because that is where we want to be ans

Brochure

Program(s) used: Adobe Illustrator, InDesign,

Photoshop

Date: July 11, 2015

Course: Communication 130

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

document.

Process: First, I used Adobe InDesign to create the

brochure to decide what and where place all the elements.

Then, I created the logo by using Adobe Illustrator as well
as all the images that I placed in the brochure. Most of

them were made by using pen tool. I used the color blocks
on the front of the brochure and also inside to create

unified design throughout the pages. I also used Adobe

Photoshop to remove the background of the images and

apply the text wrap in InDesign.

Front

PhotoDesign

Program(s) used: Adobe Photoshop

Date: May 22, 2015

Course: Communication 130

Objectives: Choose a color scheme, take a photo to match

those colors, then incorporate the colors into the layout.
Learn basic photography skills.

Process: First I took chose a color theme as

monochromatic because I tried to vary than usual. (I like

using multiple colors.) Then, when I was taking photos at

the park, I saw red play toys. I decided the color and when
I was taking the picture, the sun right came in the frame. I
added more red on the layer just so that go along with the
color theme.
