Description: Three logo variations for the same company.

Objectives: Frozen yogurt is a fruity and colorful dessert.

Programs: Adobe Illustrator

Process: I used Illustrator to create the logos. For the first one, I created the orange out of shapes and chose a font tomatch. For the second one, I created the swirl of yogurt out of ellipses and the curving tool. For the last one, I used the

same swirl of yogurt in a different color and added a line. I used a unique color scheme for each one.

Flier Date: October 5, 2014

Instructor: Pingel

Course: COMM 130

Description: This project is a black and white flier promoting a graduate leadership conference for college seniors.

Objectives: I want to show college graduates that this conference will be professional and educational, but alsoreachable and age appropriate.

Programs: Adobe InDesign

Process: I chose my best sketch out of four and created my vision using Adobe InDesign. I used contrasting fonts,making the title much larger than the appropriately small yet readable body copy. I created black triangles in opposite

corners to draw the eye into the center of the page and provide some repetition. I made sure there was lots of white space

throughout and that none of it got trapped in the middle of the design.

Instructor: Pingel

Course: COMM 130

Description: A spiritual montage created from two or more images, with use of typography and filters.

Objectives: God will comfort us when loved ones pass.

Programs: Adobe Photoshop

Process:First, I found two images that would work well together. I made the funeral scene the background and

montaged the angel on top of it. I used a Gaussian blur filter to make the background less distracting. I added the text in

cohesive fonts. I used the color from the tablecloth as the stroke behind the letters.

Event AdDate: October 11, 2014

Instructor: Pingel

Course: COMM 130

Description: A color full-bleed event ad to promote a fundraiser using only Microsoft Word and a scanner.

Objectives: I am advertising a marathon that will benefit cancer research. Everything on the page symbolizes speed,which is something associated with marathon runners.

Programs: Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop

Process: I used an HP LaserJet M4345 MFP scanner to scan the image of the racecar driver. After correcting the pixels in Photoshop, I moved the image to Microsoft Word, where I stretched it enough to reach both ends of the page.

I filled in the rest of the page with analogous-colored boxes, creating a checkered-flag type of look. I added the title in

italics to make it look like it was traveling fast across the page, hinting again at racecar driving. Then I entered all of the

information for the event in the bottom left box.

Instructor: Pingel

Course: COMM 130

Description: Use Photoshop to create a full-bleed, 8.511 photodesign with an original photo, consistent colorscheme, text, and design elements.

Objectives: I wanted to make an appealing look to pair with the quote. I wanted to promote the wear of jewelry.

Programs: Adobe Photoshop

Process: I took a picture of some jewelry on a table using multiple lamps for lighting. I edited the photo in Photoshopand added a background color. On top of that, I put see-through boxes and then text on top of those. I chose a font that

matched the jewelry theme. I made sure that everything was different shades of orange, since some of the jewelry was

orange.
