Brochure

Description:
A trifold brochure advertising a company.
Date:
December 5th, 2015
Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 01
Kory Kerr
Programs/Tools:
Adobe InDesign
Objectives:
Set up and align a two sided document
Learn how to use paragraph styles in InDesign
Process:
I used InDesign to put it all together. I set up a
brochure fold line on the document so I knew
where to place the images and captions. I then
added text boxes, filled them in and added a line
around them. Pictures were place where needed
and then came the typography. I played around
with several different fonts and even downloaded
a few off the internet for the final product. All of
the titles I filled in with red and outlined in white.
I used the paragraph style format to make sure
all writing did not have any sort of hyphens and
looked clean and professional.

Logos

Logo for a clothing line.

Programs/Tools:

Objectives:
Create three variations of an original logo to fit a
company.
Market research: gather opinions from at least ten
people about which logo appeals most to them.
Use only the Illustrator tools to create and draw
logo
Process:
First, I looked at some logos to receive a feel for
my project. I sketched out about seven different
designs for logos. I went online to fontsquirrel.
com and downloaded a few different fonts as well
to help complete my designs. Using Illustrator,
I created three different logos. After receiving
critiques and votes, I took my personal favorite
(which was also the publics personal favorite as
well) and edited it in three different ways. I also,
applied some suggestions from my critique to the
initial design to help it look more appealing.

Flier

Black and White flier to publicize a meeting about
a leadership training conference.

Kory Kerr
Programs/Tools:
Adobe InDesign
Objectives:
Apply design principles and rules of typography.
Show basic skills of InDesign
Process:
I was given the information, logo and a few
pictures to choose from to create the flier. First,
I drew some sketches to get an idea for the flier.
Afterwards, I used Adobe Photoshop to take out
the busy background of the picture I was using.
For the title, I bolded and enlarged the word I
wanted to pop out the most and catch attention.
Using different shades of boxes, I drew attention
to questions that would draw the person in. I
left white space and placed the text in a way the
person would glance at it back and forth across
the page like a zig zag.

Use Word only
Process:
First, I scanned a picture onto my computer.
After saving it, I copied and pasted it onto a word
document. Using text boxes, I added text about
the event onto the page. To color the title and
the price, I used the dropper to match the colors
to the picture of the boys shorts and t-shirt.

Montage

and exercising my knowledge of Typography and

Programs/Tools:

Objectives:
Blend two or more pictures together using masks
Apply filters using masks
Process:
First, I cropped a picture of bamboo and used a
an adjustment layer to change its color. Second,
I took a picture of Audrey Hepburn and by using
a mask, I was able to cut out her and a couple
other kids. I then added some type in white font.
Afterwards, I used a grey box in the background
to make the words easier to read.

Lean basic photography skills
Learn editing photo in photoshop
Process:
First, I took a picture of my roommate. Then,
using Photoshop, I used the editing of vibrance
etc to create a more eye appealing picture. After
saving it, I applied it to a flier on in design. Using
the color scheme I selected before the photo,
I was able to create color swatches to match.
I chose fonts that worked well together. As a
finishing touch, I created triangles using the
polygon tool.

Objectives:
Learn to have a simple design
Create a logo by scratch
Process:
I created the logo by using Illustrator. I
basically created shapes with the shape tool
and overlapped them over each other. Opening
InDesign, I placed my logo upon the page. While
editing and figuring out how the page should look,
I had to fix the logo. Some of it needed an outline
or change the sizes of the different shapes to
accommodate to the stationery.

had the top text bleed out of the box to create
contrast.
