Description: A brochure with a gated fold for a mountain adventure company.

Programs: Adobe Indesign (Layout), Photoshop (Images), Illustrator (Logo)

Date: Dec. 12, 2015

Course: Comm 130

Instructor: Ben Pingel

Objectives: Create an brochure and logo that would appeal to recreationenthusiasts and mountain climbers.

Process: I designed the logo by nding an image of a mountain and then tracingthe edges of the mountain and some other features to get the right look. Then I deletedthe picture and messed with the thickness of my lines and design of my lines. Themountain image was used later for the brochure background.

I wanted to split the logo in the front and have it open straight to the image of themountain I took the logo from so I used a gated fold. I put the logo image in a circle

with a thicker border and colored in the circle with a lighter blue. I then added the textbelow the logo within the text.

I used the image of the mountain for the background. I added a blue background

matching the color of the front and back of the brochure. I then added a darker baseto the inside. I added in my body copy and subtitles. I set of different styles in theparagraph styles menu. Once I got my placement I added in my images. Finally Iconnected my different sections by drawing a curved line with the pen tool and makingit thicker and dashed. This created the map affect I wanted. I made the dashed curvesthe same color as the border of the circles.

The back of the brochure I included my company logo in white to create bettercontrast. I then added 3 more images of mountains keeping the repeating theme ofplacing the images in circles.

Event Ad

Description: Color yer for a charity dinner

Programs: Microsoft Word

Date: Oct. 10th, 2015

Course: Comm 130


Objectives: Create an yer using a scanned image and a non-design program.

Process: I found an image that would work for the event. Then scanned the image

at 300 dpi. I used Microsoft Word 2013 to make the yer. The image already had theprimary colors in it so I went with a Primary color scheme because I felt it would bemore bold. I created the bars and faded them across and really loved the effect.

Montage

Description: An inspiring montage blending 3 images and using typography

Programs: Adobe Photoshop


Course: Comm 130


Objectives: Create an yer using a scanned image and a non-design program.

Process: I set up a black rectangle to give it a black back drop for my design. I

selected the man staring up at the stars and placed him in the corner and added amask. Using the brush tool I faded the edges and blended it. I put the mechanic withthe wrench image near the center of the backdrop. I used 100% opacity to clear theedges and then brought it down to between 10% and 30% to blend the rights side withthe man image. I added the quote with each line being in different layers. I addedan inner and outer glow effect to the text to help it stand out more. And I added anoverlay effect to the text as well. I added some sharpen effect to the man standing inthe bottom right corner.Using the lasso tool I selected some stars from the time elapsedstar picture and added those in front of the mechanics image. I added a mask to thestars and then used the brush tool to fade away all the color besides the stars.

Corrections: I made some movements to the text from my original design. Also somecolor changes to the text





Logo

Description: Logo for Sugar-Salem Volleyball team

Programs: Adobe Illustrator

Date: Oct. 31st, 2015

Course: Comm 130


Objectives: Create a new logo for an existing organization or your own.

Process: I went online to brainstorm ideas. I found several different logos. I

started out with the ball and text. I made a simple circle and added different strokeeffects to make th ball look like it was hit hard. I added the lines to make the net. Iused the line tool and increased the line size to 6 and added the triangle style to it. Iangled them all to give it good depth to.

Corrections: I changed the design quite a bit to make it less busy. I took some linesout of the net and straightened the text more. I also gave the text more space from thedesign.

Business Card

Description: Business card for a fake sports management company.

Programs: Adobe Illustrator and Indesign

Date: Nov. 7th, 2015

Course: Comm 130


Objectives: Create a business card and stationery using a new logo thatconnects by design projects.

Process: First I designed the logo in illustrator. I was going for something simpleso I used the rectangle tool to make a soccer goal and then joined all the rectanglesusing the pathnder tool. With the goal shape I put the company name in it then usedthe curve line tool to make a swoosh symbol going into the goal. I changed the strokethickness to 7 and changed the stroke orientation to the triangle instead of solid line.I then used the object menu to make the whole thing an solid object instead of justa line. I looked for many different text ideas and was able to nd some sports ones. I

went with the SF Night Upright Line for the title and then News of the World Seriffor the subtitle. I copied and pasted in the color wheel messed with the colors. I went

with Indigo and Gold for the colors. I opened the logo into Indesign and then madethe business card. On the backside I used the alternate logo without the swoosh. I used

the main logo on the front. I copied and pasted the swoosh to the front, enlarged it anddecreased the opacity to 15%. From there I used text boxes to add in the details.

Corrections: I changed the design by making the logo more consistent across the bothprojects. I added in the extra information I needed and moved text around so that it

was not as close to the edges.

Programs: Adobe Illustrator and Indesign

Date: Nov. 7th, 2015

Course: Comm 130


Objectives: Create a business card and stationery using a new logo thatconnects by design projects.

Process: See Business Card entry for details on creating the logo. 6. With thestationery I copied a lot of the same elements. I used the swoosh for the back groundof the stationery like on the business card. I lowered the opacity to about 10%. I alsoused the alternate logo for the letter head with Sports Managers next to it. Using theline tool I made dashed lines at the top and bottom to close in the space. I lessened theopacity and made the dashed gold to match the color scheme.

Corrections: I changed the design by making the logo more consistent across the bothprojects. I added in the extra information I needed and moved text around so that it

was not as close to the edges. I lightened the watermark. I also changed the logo on thestationery to the main one on the business card to be more consistent.

Iembedded the image in Adobe Photoshop with an 8.5×11 page. I darkened the imageto add effects. Darkened the areas under the bed and added shadows by featheringrectangle shapes around the edges. To express my message I made outlines of objectsto ll the image while creating emptiness still. Added quote with shadow to help createdepth effect.

Flyer

Description: Black and white ier for a graduate leadership conference.

Programs: Adobe Indesign


Course: Comm 130


Objectives: Create a black and white yer for a graduate leadership conferenceusing basic design principles and at least one image.

Process: First I brainstormed some possible ideas, and looked at the images andlogos I had to use. I made some sketches of several possible layouts. One of thoselayouts and put it into Adobe Indesign. I tried to create a focal point with the imageand title and the used repeating black arrows to help guide the ow of the ier. Withthe Focal point and the arrows it creates a z shaped ow. I left my body copy small andleft plenty of white space at the bottom.

Corrections: I made a lot of corrections for this project. I went back to one of myorgininal design layouts. I changed the font and placement of the title and a lot of thebody copy. I kept some elements like the arrows but used them better to create focalpoints.
