Photodesign
Description:

Demonstrate good photography and image editing skills. I used an original photo and
incorporating the color into a poster layout.

Date:

February 6, 2016

Course/Instructor:
Comm. 130 Section 1
Ben Pingel

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop
Nikon Camera

Objectives:

Learn basic photography skills.

Use a digital camera to take a quality image, then download it.
Size and crop the image.
Adjust image brightness, contrast, hue and saturation levels.

Process:

I took this picture at night with a Nikon camera. I went out after it was dark to get this
desired shot. I had an additional flash that was off to the side of the subject which created the
darkness around him. I didnt have to do a lot to edit this picture, just a little to make the red
and green stand out more.

Montage
Description:

An inspirational montage made by the blending of two or more images, and the use of
typography.

Date:

February 12, 2016

Course/Instructor:
Comm. 130 Section 1
Ben Pingel

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

Learn to manage Photoshop layers.

Learn to blend images together smoothly, using masks.
Use filters.
Apply appropriate typography.

Process:

I completed this project strictly in Photoshop. I cropped the background image to 8.511
and I used two images in this project. My first step was putting the main image (The man
standing alone with the sun shining on him) as the background. I then took my second image
and used the lasso tool to take just his hand; I selected it and moved it to my main picture.
I wanted the hand to be noticeable but not overlooked by being too transparent. I did a
mixture of opacity, using 20% and 30% to give the image more of a solid and more of a
transparent look. I used two different fonts in the quote to help it stand out more and help
the message come across.

Flier
Description:

Black & White promotional flier to promote a graduate leadership conference.

Date:

January 23, 2016

Course/Instructor:
Comm. 130 Section 1
Ben Pingel

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign

Objectives:

Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography.

Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier layout.
Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesign document to keep links intact.

Process:

I first started with some sketches of what I would like to do with this project. I then used one
of my sketches as a guide to create the layout in Adobe InDesign. I created the main black
box and inside used one of the words to create more contrast, and to create a good focal
point for the flier. Using this process helps those that see know what this flier is about. I was
given the image, logo, and content for this flier.

Process:

I started this project with a dew sketches of ideas of creating a logo for Katy Cooper
Photography. Mainly focusing on what she can use as a stamp for her photos. My main focus
was the K, C, and Photography. I played around with a few different typographies before
settling on Perpetua (K and C) and Miami (Photography). It was fun to play around with
different ideas and to see what worked best for this company.

Brochure
Description:

A folding newsletter brochure.

Date:

March 26, 2016

Course/Instructor:
Comm. 130 Section 1

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

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

Learn how to wrap text around an image.
Use paragraph styles in InDesign.

Process:

I had a lot of fun with this project, I really enjoyed using Adobe Illustrator to create the
image. I created the J and K by hand with creating lines and drawing them out, making them
shapes and then filling them with colors that I wanted. I then created the silhouette of the
lightsaber hilt to go with it, so anyone who viewed the logo together would know what they
were looking at. The star blast was created and used to give the appearance of a blade coming
out of the hilt.
Once I had the logo created I went to work with creating the layout of the brochure. I tried
a few different ideas but the newsletter folding brochure fit better than anything else I was
trying and I liked the simplicity of the layout and how much I could do with it. I found
images of lightsaber hilts Online, and the two color of lightsaber blades that I wanted. I did a
little in Photoshop to get those blades alone and use them for the middle of the inside of my
brochure.

Program(s)/Tools:
Microsoft Word
Scanner

Objectives:

Find, scan and import a high-quality image.

Create a full-bleed design.
Use text boxes for layout in Word.
Insert and edit images in Word.

Process:

I found the image of the runner in Runners World Magazine. I started with scanning the
image and setting the ppi at 300 so I would be able to enlarge the picture without losing the
visual content of the picture. I used the color scheme triadic, to bring the colors red, blue,
and yellow into my project. I feel this color scheme fits perfectly with my image and has a
light airy feeling to it as well. Making everything in Microsoft Word was interesting and fun
to know that it can be done.
