EVENT AD
Programs Used: Microsoft WordDate: May 16, 2015Course: COMM
130Instructor: Emily KunzObjectives: Create an Ad for an event.
Process:After looking around my apartment for something to scan,
I came across a book my friend gave me last year about pugs with
these super cute pug drawings. Thats when I decided to do an event
for a pug adoption. I drew up a little idea of what I wanted to do
with my scan and started to put it together in Microsoft Word. Good
organization helps to make a flyer look good. It is important to
keep the important details on an event flyer the main focus.

FLIER
Programs Used: InDesignDate: May 9, 2015Course: COMM
130Instructor: Emily KunzObjectives: Create a flier.
Process:I created some sketches for my flier design. Then I used
InDesign to make a digital version of my favorite sketch. I used
alignment and circles to make my design pop. I also used different
shades of grey in the text. My message is to let recent college
graduates that there is a leadership conference available to them
to help them become stronger leaders. I learned the importance of
font choice and text alignment.

MONTAGE
Programs Used: PhotoshopDate: May 30, 2015Course: COMM
130Instructor: Emily KunzObjectives: Create an inspirational
montage by blending images.
Process:I cropped the background image to 8.511. I got rid of
the Angels surrounding Christ with the healing brush. With black
paint and a 100% opacity, soft-edged brush, I painted away the hard
image edges. With a larger black brush at 20% opacity and 20% flow,
I blended the door into the background, so it looks like it is
floating in the clouds.

LOGOS
Programs Used: IllustratorDate: June 6, 2015Course: COMM
130Instructor: Emily KunzObjectives: Create a logo.
Process:This was really fun project where we got to create a
logo in Illustrator. After figuring out what my logo was for, I
made 3 different types of logos and had a group of people vote on
which was their favorite. I chose the one which was voted on most
to work with. I changed my font choices to help them pop more. I
also changed the position of my fonts so they are easier to
read.

my name a larger font to contrast with the contact information. I
