Description:

A brochure that promotes a business I created.

Programs Used:

Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator

Objectives:
Process:

Set up a full bleed printed brochure that incorporates

quality images and more than 250 words.
I first started this project by sketching out various logos and
designs for my brochure. As soon as I developed a solid
sketch, I created a logo design in Adobe Illustrator.
I then began to develop my brochure in Adobe InDesign. I
first added a picture background for the front cover, then
placed my logo. On the front page towards the side, I
incorporated several photos. For the second page, I placed
three more images. For one of the images, I used quick
selection tools to cut out the background. I took that image
back into InDesign then used text wrap around the image. I
then added titles and text.

Logo for a hiking travel guide for the Grand Tetons.

Programs Used:

Adobe InDesign &Illustrator

Objectives:

Create an original logo and use market research to gain

fedback from a variety of people.

Process:

First I had to sketch out multiple designs for this project. I

then used Adobe Illustrator to create three different designs
that applied various types of fonts and colors. After getting
several critiques, I learned that my first original design was
the best choice for my final project. I then created versions
of this design in grey scale, and in white on a color
background. Originally. I had another logos project,
however Brother Pingel had to give me an automatic fail
because I used a think black stroke. In this final project, I
made sure not to make the same mistake again.

Full color bleed design that incorporates photography and

photodesign skills.

Programs Used:

Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

Learn how to take quality images and edit them using

Photoshop. Then adjust image levels, saturation, color
balance, sharpen tool on separate layout.

Process:

I began this project by sketching and analyzing what my

message and who my audience was. I then took several pictures
with a model and uploaded one of the images into Adobe
photoshop. I used tools such as vibrance, levels, brightness,
and exposure to edit the picture. I also used
color selection on the models sweater to change the
color from red to purple so that it followed the color scheme
(Complementary). I had to crop out the body and decided to
add a gradient background. The gradient effect emphasizes the
reflection theme. The effect that I used within the
bottom box also creates repetition to the theme.

Description:

Design of a personal logo applied to a business card.

Programs Used:

Adobe InDesign &Illustrator

Objectives:

Create a new logo and design consistent layouts for a

business card while applying typography rules.

Process:

I began this project by brainstorming and sketching various

logos. As soon as I established a company logo and design, I used
tools within Adobe Illustrator and Design to create my project. I
first made a business card and used a subtle gradient for the
background to add texture. After I created my business card,
I created a letterhead. I used the same logo from the card to add
repetition to my project. I also added more design elements at
the bottom of the page where I put the letter C in between the
information.

A web design project focusing on the tools and

principles of HTML and CSS.letterhead.

Programs Used:

Text Wrangler, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign.

Objectives:

Write orginal content to describe the logo while

developing a knowledge of HTML & CSS.

Process:

In this project, I used programs such as text wrangler to

develop a HTML and CSS file to establish my web page. I
inserted a previous design image using codes and changed the
background colors and text to match the logo. I matched the red
background by using the eye dropper tool in Adobe Photoshop.
To create the border effect on the top and bottom of my page, I
used a special code within CSS. For the black background, I
inserted an image from Shuttershock. I chose this image because
of the dark and subtle gradient. This compliments the overall
design of the logo and webpage.

Black & white flier to promote an event titled: Graduate

Leadership Conference.
Adobe InDesign
Apply the design principles and use appropriate
typography. Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic
flier layout.
I began by analyzing who my audience was and what the purpose
of this design would be. I then sketched and chose one of the four
outlines to guide me as I started the project within Adobe
InDesign. I used black boxes to fill in white space and add
contrast. I also applied two different types and fonts to
differentiate the various sections. By emphasizing one word in
the title box, graduate students can see how leadership is the
main message. I was given the image, logo, and information for
this copy.

I first found an image and scanned it. I then began to
organize my project by establishing my charity sketching
out a design. For this design, I used tools within Microsoft
Word that cut out the background of the child image. The

Description:

A spiritual montage made by blending three images which incorporates typography.

Programs Used:

Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

Unify a layout with a consistent theme and dominant

spiritual message. Use a mask to apply a filter to one part of the
image.

Process:

I began this project by organizing an overall message and then

sketched out a design. I took the picture of the scriptures and
journal in my apartment and found the Christ and cloud images
online. I used the magnetic tool within Photoshop to cut out the
scriptures. I then placed the cloud image and applied a filter to
change the color from blue to a golden brown. For the image of
Christ, I used a mask and blended the image into the design. I
also used a blur filter to add a sensational effect. Within the
title, I used a bevel and emboss as well as a drop shadow to
create a dramatic effect to the text. This image to the right was a
redo of my original project.
