PHOTODESIGN
Description:

Design focused on bettering my understanding of photography and Photoshop basics.

Date:

October 17, 2015

Course:
Comm 130 Section 6
Ben Pingel

Programs/Tools:
Photoshop

Objectives:

Gain basic photography skills

Adjust levels, saturation, color balance, sharpen tool on image
Design text using graphic elements

Process:

The first thing I did was take my picture. I decided that the type of picture I wanted to take was one that was based on focusing the
foreground. I used my Canon Rebel t2i for this. After deciding on a photo to use, I chose my color scheme split complementary. My photo
had red, green, and yellow in it which did not work for split complementary, so I used the selective color tool on Photoshop to change my
red to violet. After finalizing my color scheme, I decided on what words I wanted to put on my design that could somewhat relate to my
picture. Finally, I decided on right aligning everything and chose a font that worked best. Lastly, I chose to make the words, kindness,
and, judgement, stand out more than the other words. I put the finishing touches such as my color swatch and green lines on the
design and finally finished.

MONTAGE
Description:

This design focused around the spirit using two different photos on Photoshop.

Date:

Programs/Tools:
Photoshop

Objectives:

Blend two or more images together using the masking tool on Photoshop
Apply filter to one part of image using mask
Unify with spiritual message

Process:

First, I chose my two photos and made sure that they would not overpower one another. Then, I uploaded both photos to Photoshop,
blended them together as well as I could, and turned up the levels on my family photo to make it pop more. Then I chose a quote
based around family and pulled the colors I used for my larger words and lines from the family photo. I blurred out the smaller
words a bit to make the larger words the main focus. Lastly, I blended together the legs of my family and mixed them with the trees
so the difference in photos was not so obvious.

BUSINESS CARD

Programs/Tools:
Illustrator
InDesign

Objectives:

Create new logo to fit company

Use logo to design business card and letterhead
Use basic InDesign and Illustrator skills

Process:

First, I looked on Pinterest for some insipiration and to get some ideas flowing. I immediately had this idea for a bunch of polygons
in similar colors and thought it looked really modern. I created that on Illustrator then stuck with the modern theme throughout my
font choice and business choice. I made up a business and name and was really happy with the final product of my business card.

LETTERHEAD
Description:

Original new logo and stationery items for a specific company.

Programs/Tools:

Objectives:

Create new logo to fit company

Use logo to design business card and letterhead
Use basic InDesign and Illustrator skills

Process:

Making the letterhead was fairly simple. I just used repetition with the polygon design on my business card and added it onto the
corner of my letterhead. Then, I made it transparent so that anythning that would later go on top of the page (body copy) would be
perfectly visible. I continued with the repetition by adding the information from my business in the same font and color at the top
corner.

Objectives:

Create original logo

Write 250 words of original body copy
Create a two-sided, folded brochure

Process:

First, I came up with what I wanted to do my brochure on. From there, I created a logo, and color scheme to match my idea. Then wrote
out my body copy exactly how I wanted it. After that, I found the pictures that I wanted for my brochure and made sure they matched
my vision. Finally, I put it all together onto the brochure and did the details such as font choice, alignment, etc.

LOGOS
Description:

Logo project for specific business using 3 different designs

Ben Pingel

Programs/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:

Create three completely different logos

Refine one logo with different variations of color

Process:

First, I decided on a color scheme (analogous) and one color teal. After that I tried to make my design send a message that my business
is modern. I did this through modern looking fonts and triangles. Then, I finalized my design and created three different versions of it.
The first was my original, the second was shades of black and white, and the last was one color and white.

EVENT AD

Programs/Tools:
Microsoft Word

Objectives:

Learn to use Microsoft Word design features

Scan and import quality image
Use FOCUS principles to create original flier

Process:

First, I decided on an image that I wanted to use from a magazine that I found on the kitchen counter of my apartment and scanned
it onto my computer. The image focused mainly on fashion, so I decided that I wanted to incorporate fashion into my charity event
somehow. Originally, I had a boring name for my event named Music For Clothes but then found a way to make the name fit my
younger audience a little more and named it, Rock For Rags. I chose a color scheme and pulled as many colors as I could from my
picture and loved how the colors turned out. Lastly, I chose a font, font color, and body copy plus added a few minor details to finish
it entirely.

Objectives:

Learn basic InDesign skills and apply them to make a flier

Use design principles and appropriate typography

Process:

First, I downloaded the images onto my laptop then arranged them on my design in a way that I thought was
visually appealing. Then, I edited the body copy to make sure there were no grammatical errors and arranged
it onto my design. I used the skills I learned on typography and applied them to my design to make it more
exciting. Lastly, I added my own flare to it and added some lines throughout the design to make it flow more.
