Objectives:

To involve in photography classes to learn a new skill that can be

applied to fun and a career.

Process:

Using Adobe illustrator I created my logo and added it to Adobe indesign where i created a trifold design brochure. In the design I gave

inspiration for the company came from my interest in photography
and learning more from a beginners stand point.

the name of the lawyer and have an appealing illustration. Using

a 8.5 x 11 page. I found the texture page on google as well. Adding
everything to Indesign, i put the letterhead together and designed a

Picture & Information provided by class

Objectives:

Graduating seniors that want business leadership skills and strength

when entering the work force.

Process:

I started with 3 separate sketches of my design that sparked ideas

for my final. When I sat at the computer, I had different ideas come to
mind though.I began with a larger title that set the layout for the rest
of the design. Using Adobe InDesign, I created the graduate conference flier.

Logos
Description:

A colorful and attractive logo reaching out to those seeking safety for
their homes.

Cory Kerr

Programs/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:

To attract consumers looking for a safe alarm system for their families. Also to effectively design and carry out an illustration.

Process:

I sketched the design multiple times and then perfected it when

using illustrator and the design came together. I brought the design
together and then used the Focus book in order to choose the color
scheme to best fit the design. Once I chose the color, more of the
designs came to me. After I received a critique and votes for the favorite, I chose this design to change to a gray scale and switch to a
solid color background (red) with all white letters.

Event Ad

Programs/Tools:
Microsoft Office- Word

Objectives:

I wanted the audience to see a fun event that would also benefit
charity. The colors bring the image and the event alive.

Process:

I scanned the image when I firsts found it because I automatically felt

connected to it. I loved the colors that are present and upbeat vibe
in the image. I used Microsoft word to view and edit the image. This
is where I also came up with the title and information used for the
event. I used a soft yellow that would compliment the rocks in the
background of the image, thanks to the eye dropper tool. Programs I
used: Microsoft Word, and Epson Scanner.

Imaging

Programs/Tools:
Camera
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

I wanted to show the viewers the beauty of campus with a strong

message that powerful people emerge from BYU-Idaho.

Process:

I first took the image and edited it with Photo shop. I had to use the
basic photo editor tools in order to balance the colors just right, and
make it all balance with good flow from the architecture. With the
rainy day, I think it makes the image look like it was taken on a fall
day, which is a more attractive time of year, with many colors. There
is repetition within the pillars that make it more attractive to look at. I
put the whole design together using photo shop, focusing mostly on
the colors used and how I could balance those better.

Web Page

Programs/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator
Text Wrangler

Objectives:

My message centers on protection, and having an alarm system that

will work for families. The dark background makes the bright colors
of the page pop, so the information will catch the eye.

Process:

Using Adobe Illustrator I created the city logo. Saving it then to an

HTML program through Text Wrangler I was able to edit the code
to my design, also connect it with a CSS code. I used Photo Shop
to eye drop the right colors, and give it more design with that. I
aligned with coding.
