Description: Uplifting and inspiring poster

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I chose my color scheme, orange monochromatic, first and then went to take my picture. Luckily I found this location where there were already orange trucks. I used a Nikon D3100 camera then brought the photo into photoshop to edit. I fixed the levels first then sharpness, saturation, and color balance. I didnt have to do much for any. I liked how the pic-ture turned out without much editing. I loved the lines in this photo and tried to utilize them to create flow. I used the eye dropper to better match the color in my picture for the different rectangles that I made using the Rectangle Tool. I had to edit out a wire and forgot how so I used a tutorial on YouTube for that.

Message: This design is meant to be inspirational whether it be personally or literally is up to the reader. When we have a strong, stable foundation we can do great things.

Audience: I wanted to make a poster that was eye catching for anyone. The yellow monochromatic color scheme that I chose was perfect for this photo.

Top Thing Learned: Vibrance is not always a good thing. My photo already had a lot of vibrance in it and it took a lot of different times to get it so that it didnt look over done.

Color scheme and color names: Monochromatic Orange

Description: A blend of different photos to create one montage with a spiritual or uplifting message

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing):1. Found a photo that had a single tree with landscape, clouds, a glow, a rod and the quote2. duplicated the background layer and put the glow in between and put a mask on the 2nd background and got rid of everything except the tree so it revealed the glow.3. Put all clouds together and put masks on all of them so they would blend4.Added fruit to the tree and put a mask on them so they looked lighter5.Added quote and lined up the first line to the end of the tree6. Added rod with mask to get rid of all of the other rods.

Message: I wanted to convey a message that would tell us the blessing of holding to the rod.

Audience: Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or those who know the message of the tree of life.

Top Thing Learned: I loved being able to figure out how to make the glow in my tree appear so that the whole tree glowed.

Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I selected the fruit and made it so they had less satu-rationColor scheme and color names: Triad, Green, Blue, Red

MONTAGE

As we continually hold fast to the rod by keeping our covenants, we will be strengthened to resist the temptations and perils of the world.-Elder Keven S. Hamilton

Description: Three Logo variations for the same company

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): For this project I used Adobe Illustrator and used the pen tool to draw out the sketches that I had. For my second logo I had to use the clipping mask to cut off the circles from the edges. To do that I copied and pasted a tie on top of the original and selected all that was underneath then selected the clipping mask. For all of the logos I used the pen tool mostly then used the direct se-lection tool to manipulate the points that didnt look right to me. I also used the rounded rectangle tool for the middle of the bowtie. When selecting my fonts I tried going for something guys would like and also something more simple and clean.

Message: Formal wear for sale for men

Audience: Any men interested in buying formal wear

Top Thing Learned: The one thing that I thought helped me a lot during the design process of these logos was sketching. That is what helped me the most because I knew what I wanted it to look like and drawing it helped me get out a lot of different ideas.

Three Color Scheme and Color Names: Top: Complementary Blue and Orange, Middle: Monochromat-ic Red, Bottom: Black and White

LOGOS

Description: A two sided (duplex) folding brochure

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I first created the logo in Illustrator for my pizza company. It seemed very plain because it was only white and so I decided to add some color to it by putting pepperoni on it using the elipse tool. I used the eraser tool to cut out the piece of pizza as well. I then added a white circle behind the logo so that it wasnt transparent.

For the brochure I create the pocket first. I wanted it to be able to slide out of the pocket so I made it so I could just fold it in half. I placed only the logo on the front and left an opening on the pocket where the menu could go.

When I created the menu I decided that I wanted it to fold out as you took it our from the pocket so I positioned the pages to do so. To make the text wrap I used the window for it and positioned it so there wasnt any widows.

Message: Pizza menu

Audience: anyone eating at The Pizza Place

Top Thing Learned: Its a lot harder to figure out where to place things on a brochure because of printing front to back but with lots of help I figured it out!

BROCHURE

Description: Black and White flier to promote graduation leadership conference for graduating seniors

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): First I created sketches and got opinions on which one was the best and some of the people I asked like different elements to each one. I then made my decision and used InDesign to make the flier digital. I made one word of my title bigger to create a focal point and tried to emphasize the first sentence of the text to grab attention. I was given pictures and text for this project to create a layout with whitespace. With the picture I layered I tried to create the same feeling with the the text box to provide repetition.

Message: There will be a conference held for graduating seniors that will help them to learn leadership skills that will help them in the workplace.

Audience: Graduating Seniors getting ready to go into the workplace ages 20-30

Top Thing Learned: The most important thing I learned is to align during this project. There were many things that needed to be aligned to provide unity.

Description: Matching letterhead and business cards

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): for my business card I used simple shapes to create the owl logo for the childrens clothing business. I used the direct selection tool to click on the anchor points of the cir-cles and deleted half. I then created a letterhead to match the business card using the logo.For the letter-head I wanted to create some type of repetition so I created the circles next to the typeface which leads to the contact information. For the logo I wanted it to be visible but not so much that it was distracting. I made the logo bigger and then put the opacity down so that it is transparent.

Message:The company is a childrens clothing business. The owl is to create a fun and friendly feel for the business targeted towards parents who shop for the children.

Audience: Parents shopping or looking for clothes for their children.

Top Thing Learned: The top thing that I learned doing this project was about using both Adobe InDe-sign and Adobe Illustrator. I learned how to incorporate both of them together. I also learned a lot about the pen tool while making a new logo. I loved being able to manipulate the opacity for the logo as well on the letterhead.

LETTERHEAD

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

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I went to the McKay Library and looked through the different magazines that they had. One magazine that stood out to me was the Powder Ski Magazine which had good quality pictures without any text on them. I actually scanned a different picture for my final design because the first one didnt seem to work very well. I created decided my color scheme after seeing my image in Word and went from there. I tried creating visual balance as well as repetition by placing an orange dot next to my text to draw the eye to it after seeing the title. I also aligned my text with the ski jump made sure it was readable.

Message: I am running a fundraiser to help the Breast Cancer Research earn money. I wanted the even to be family friendly so it is during the day and all skiers are welcome.

Audience: All skiers that want to help raise money to support a good cause.

Color scheme and color names: Complementary: Blue & orange

Top Thing Learned: One thing I learned from this assignment is that you can scan in different resolu-tions depending on how good your printer is. I always thought scanning was a waste of time but now I know that you can good a good quality picture from it.

Description: A webpage to show a unique logo

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): For this website I used TextWrangler in order to establish the HTML and CSS coding. While I was coding I tried to change a lot of different things but it seemed very plain to me. I looked for tips and tricks on the Internet to learn more coding ideas. After writing up the HTML I linked the file with the CSS and started editing.

I found these colors by opening Photoshop and using the eyedropper tool. I also changed my fonts to Times New Roman and Georgia. I declared some backup fonts just in case the viewers browser didnt have these fonts. I also changed the hover color for the link to my blog.

Message: Foxy Formal Wear is a resource for online formal shopping

Audience: Anyone looking for formal wear
