Brochure

Description: A offset-two sided folding brochure.

Date: 12/6/2014
Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 8
Ben Pingel
Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign/Adobe Illustrator/Adobe Photoshop
Objectives: Create a brochure for my photography business to show
possible clients my photography and my prices. Tools used in Adobe
InDesign, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop
Process: I created the logo in Illustrator using the text tool and
pen tool. I created the decorative line under my logo using the
pen tool. I set the rulers for the offset-fold in Indesign and then
started designing it. I dropped a blue texture I found online on the
background and lowered the opacity so the text can still be read. Then
I placed my images. Then I placed my logo into InDesign on the front
page of my brochure. I used the decorative line in my logo throughout
my subtitles in the inside of my brochure to add nice repetition. To
create the text wrapped photo, I used the quick selection tool in
Adobe Photoshop to remove the background of the image. I then used
the feather and smooth tool through the refine mask dialogue. By
doing this, the edges looked more soft and not so sharp. Then I placed
the image into InDesign where I used the text wrap to wrap my text
around the alpha channel of the image.

Logos

Description: Three different logos for the same company.

Date: 11/1/2014
Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 8
Ben Pingel
Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator
Objectives: Create a variety of logos to fit a company . Use the basic
tools of Illustrator
Process: Ive always enjoyed creating logos. In my first logo, I used the
rounded rectangle tool and created rows for the beehive. Then I used
the pen tool to round the corners out more and to bring them blend
better. Then I put lines in to create the look of the beehive. Then I
added the beehive hole with the ellipse tool. To create, the bee, I used
the ellipse tool and pen tool to stretch it out a little bit. Then I used the
ellipse tool to create the head. Then I used the ellipse tool again and
made two circles. I deleted the bottom and used the pen tool to create
the heart for the wings. To create the antenna, I used the spiral tool. To
create the bees train, I used the line tool, but clicked on Stroke and
changed it to dotted line.

Event Ad

Description: This is a colorful, full-bleed event ad to promote a

photography fund raiser. I only used Microsoft Word and a scanner

Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 8
Ben Pingel
Program(s)/Tools:
Microsoft Word, Epson Scanner, PDF2JPG.net (PDF converter)
Objectives: Find, scan and import a high quality image. Apply
design principles to create a full bleed design in Microsoft Word.
Use text boxes and an image in the layout.
Process: I scanned the image, and then added the photo into
Microsoft Word. Then I added a green background to contrast with
the green leaves in the background of the picture. Then I added
a box at the top to bring out the title of the event. I added more
rectangle boxes with darker shades of green throughout the ad to
again contrast with the image. I then created the shape where the
date and time is and put an extra one at the top to add repetition and
organization. I chose two different fonts that blended well together.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Indesign
Objectives: Create a new logo to fit a company. Design consistent
layout for a business card and letterhead. Use basic tools in Adobe
Illustrator and Adobe Indesign.
Process: I created the logo in Illustrator. I traced a giraffe clip art and
then picked a font to best fit the look and height of the giraffe. I saved
both the logo and just the giraffe so I could use it later on in InDesign.
Then I took the logo into InDesign and created a business card. I
took the giraffe print from the internet and put it on the back of my
business card. Then I took my logo and put it on a flag that I made
from the line tool. Then I added the information on the back in the
same flag with just the giraffe.

images. Then I used my logo and the giraffe again on it. I lowered
the opacity of the giraffe to that its clear to read and the message.
Then, I added the necessary contact information on the bottom left.

Adobe Indesign
Objectives: Apply the design principles and rules of typography.
Use basic skills and tools in Indesign to create the flier layout.
Create a project folder will all of the necessary components to
keep them all linked.
Process: The first thing I did was sketch out four different layouts. I
then used one of my sketches as a guide to create a shape map in
Adobe InDesign. In my design, I used the black circles as well as
the line through it for repetition. I lowered the opacity for the image
and used bigger, black text for the title to create a good focal point.
I also kept my body copy small. I was given the image, logo and
content for this flier.

Web Page
Description: A web page designed to showcase a personally made
logo.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop and TextWrangler
Objectives: Size and optimize an original logo as a .png file.
Write content about the company. Design a web page using
HTML and CSS to display a logo, content and images. Apply basic
understanding of both HTML and CSS. Identify hex colors for the
CSS design. Compress multiple files into a zipped folder.
Process: I created this web page through a program called
TextWrangler. After coding the context for HTML, I attached a CSS
file that was pre-made into my HTML context. Then in Photoshop, I
got the hex code for the colors used in my logo to use on my web
page. I entered the hex codes so that they would match perfectly. I
also changed the fonts to Coming Soon and PT Sans. I also entered
some web safe fonts as a backup just in case when some computers
cant open these certain fonts, itll come up with the same category
of font. I changed the padding so that the wording isnt so close to
the end of my webpage. It makes it easier to read as well. I did this
for the second header as well.

Montage

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop
Objectives: Learn to manage Photoshop layers. Learn how to blend
images together smoothly using masks and filters. Apply the right
typography.
Process: I cropped the back image to 8.5 x 11 layout. Then I opened
up the top image of my husband and I and selected just our heads. I
added it to the back image and added a mask. With black paint and
100% opacity I painted away the hard edges. Then I changed the
opacity to 35% and blended the image to make it match the back
image. I then added two contrasting fonts to make it stand out.

Imaging
Description: This project was to demonstrate good photography skills,
as well as editing in Photoshop. I also incorporated a color scheme into
my photo.
Date: 10/18/2014
Course/Instructor:

Ben Pingel
Program(s)/Tools:
Canon Rebel T3i and Adobe Photoshop
Objectives: Learn photography skills. Use a high quality camera to
upload and edit the image in Adobe Photoshop. Learn basic editing
skills including brightness, contrast, levels, saturation and hue.
Process: First, I chose a color scheme for this project. I decided on a
Tetradic color scheme and to use the colors blue, purple, orange and
yellow. I then modeled my sister in front of a backdrop that I have for
my photography that had these exact colors and took a high quality
image with good light, focus and composition. I used my Canon Rebel
T3i with a 50 mm f/1.8 lens. I then brought my image into Photoshop
and edited it using specific instructions and techniques. I used levels,
selective color, saturation, and sharpness. After this, I opened up a
118.5 layout and inserted my image. I brought in the color wheel so I
could make sure I get the right colors. I used the eye dropper to do this
and dropped the color into the shape elements I used. I included flags
of the colors I used, with the name of the color in them. I included a
quote to tie in the image.
