Photodesign
Description This is a flyer explaining a positive aspect of winter to others. Date 2/8/2014 Course COMM130Visual Media Instructor Brother Judkins Programs Photoshop, Adobe Bridge. Objectives Learn about Photoshop editing techniques. Learn the basics of using a DSLR camera. Process I used my DSLR camera to take several photos of branches with snow on them. I opened the photos in Bridge, and opened the one I liked best in Photosho. I used adjustment layers and a sharpen filter on the photo to achieve the effect I wanted. After that, I added the quotes and color swatches, and used shapes to keep the colors in one place. After the peer review, I added in the color scheme and the names of the colors.

Brochure
Description Black and white flier detailing a graduate conference for business majors. Date 3/29/2014 Course COMM130Visual Media Instructor Brother Judkins Programs Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator Objectives The objective of this project was to learn how to create and print a duplex brochure using the Adobe Suite. Process I chose a business to design a brochure for, and then I picked photos that matched what that business was selling. I used Illustrator to make a simply logo, and I used Photoshop to edit the photos as necessary. After the first group critique, I changed the indendation and font size, but left the color as white. I printed the brochure on the Spori Color Printer and used an exacto knife to trim the edges.

Date 2/1/2014 Course COMM130Visual Media Instructor Brother Judkins Programs Microsoft Office Word Objectives The purpose of this project was to learn to scan images and design an advertisement in Microsoft Word.

Business Card
Description A letterhead design for an independent graphic design and photography business. Date 3/1/2014 Course COMM130Visual Media Instructor Brother Judkins Programs Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator Objectives To learn about InDesign and reach an audience of business majors. Process First, I made the logo in Adobe Illustrator, using the ellipse tool and the pathfinder tool, which let me divide the overlapping shapes and delete segments. Its supposed to look like a rose and the lens of a camera at the same time. Then I opened it in Adobe InDesign. I got a lot of feedback at the critique, so I changed the background color of the business card from pink to green.

Logos
Description Three logos designed for a cloud storage service, designed to appeal to people who know how to use computers and who would have a use for cloud services. Date 2/22/2014 Course COMM130Visual Media Instructor Brother Judkins Programs Adobe Illustrator Objectives The purpose of this project was to learn the basics of Illustrator including the pen tool, type, and outlines. Process I played around with the pen and shape tools for a while until I made the cloud and raindrop tools. The first logo is the only one left from the critique, because the other two were similar, and my group really liked the simplicity of the top logo. I designed the other two logos using Illustrator on Friday, using the type tool, shape tool, pen tool, and eyedropper tool.
