Brochure
Description: A three fold brochure
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign were the programs that I used.
I used the gradient tool, the eye dropper tool, lasso tool, quick select, pen, eraser and the rectangle tool a lot
during this design process.
When designing this brochure I had to carefully select the images that I wanted. And I had to do most of the
gradient work in Photoshop. When doing this I used the gradient tool like I would the rectangle tool. Once I got
the size I wanted I had to remove it from the design itself in order to get the gradient with the eye dropper tool. I
then played with the gradients for each cup of tea.
I was able to make my logo using the quick select tool. With the lotus logo there was a bee on the side of the
fower & to remove that I used the erase tool.
Message: To inform people on the benefts of drinking tea.
Audience: Tea drinker & those interested in learning about diferent types of teas.
Top Ting Learned: How to do master pages.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):
Adobe Illustrator was used for this process. I really enjoyed this project because there was a lot of trial and error.
I was able to used the pen tool to the and get my curves as curvy as possible. Using the star tool was also inter-
esting to add and subtract points. Te pencil tool was not as fun because then I had to go back to the pen tool
to make it accurate so I was more focused on the pen tool. Tracing images with the pen tool was also very time
consuming and a great undertaking. Zooming in on the image was necessary for this part of the project. When
an error was made instead of starting over I would add a layer on top of the main layer then I would add or sub-
tract the parts that I did or did not need then change the colour of that specifc part.

Message:
Modern and traditional Indian dancing.

Letterhead
Description: Tis is a web page that was created to showcase my personal logo that I created.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I created this web page using TextWrangler and Dreamweaver. this was my
frst time using these programs. Tis was also the frst time that I had ever even attempted, to thought to create a
web page from the ground up. I had never seen or written an HTML or CSS before this. Tis was an interesting
process, entreating but also time consuming. however it was interesting to see how I could make a web page by
only using a simple text editor.
When I was editing my fle, I made a lot of mistakes, there were a lot of trial and errors. I put the image of my
background into the folder with my CSS, HTML, & logo that way they would all be attached to each other. I used
the eye dropper tool to select the the colours from my background to make it apart of my design by putting the
colour codes in the correct places.

the desire physically, spritually & mentally. We also help those who are intermediate & advanced in these tech-

Web Page
Description: To demonstrate my knowledge and skills of photography. Taking pictures & also editing those
pictures in Adobe Photoshop.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): At frst I was not sure what I was going to do but living in Rexburg Idaho na-
ture is all around. I knew that there were lots of reds when it comes to plants. I love reds, yellows, and greens so
I fgured that would be mu best bet. I used a Cannon Rebel from the library on the BYU-Idho campus. Te day
was cloudy and the sun was very random at that day so to get the perfect shot was harder than usual. Te im-
age is 8.5 by 11 afer being uploaded to Adobe Photoshop. To get the swatches matched correctly I used the eye
dropper tool. I was able to incorporate the repetitive design with the my text.

Message: I wanted to make my poster for strength and beauty when we are alone and to also be able to stand
strong in the face of adversity.

hard to fnd beauty & strength in the world today.

Photodesign
Description: Blending images that make me happy.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing):
I was able crop the background image to 8.511 with the help of a tutor, and afer atrial and error process.
I was able to Google images of Jamaican beaches and set that as background image as less visible as possible, I
also searched for Manchester United logos, ones I found those I then added masks as needed.
With the Manchester United logos I used the lasso tool to crop what I needed then added a feather to sofen
the edges and also help with the blending process.
With the black paint option and 20%-100% opacity I used the brush tool to paint away the edges that were
not needed.
With my black brush at 30%-50% opacity, I blended the images into the background, so it looks like he is
melting into the scene.
I repeated the process with the sun, the Manchester United feld, and also the image of my sister.
Programs/Tools Used: Adobe Photoshop
Message: My sister was my inspiration and her love for the game & Manchester United helped me to put this
image together. Also Fifa 2014 will Begin soon and team England will be great.
Audience: Anyone who is a fan of team England and also Manchester United. Tis is also for anyone who just
has a passion for European football.
Top Ting Learned: Once the back ground image is in the back ground it is very hard to do anything else with
it, especially when adjusting the size. It is best to ft the background image to the size it should be, before adding
other images.
Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I was able to increase the saturation of the sun as well as the
image of my sister.
Color scheme and color names: Primary colours: Red, Blue, and Yellow.

Description:
Black & White promotional fier to promote a graduate leadership conference.
Process:
I frst created some sketches of my layout. Ten I tried to use my sketches as a guide to create this layout I did
not like a few of the sketches with the fyer but it did not work so I had to start over. I got to a point when I just
wanted to give up so I came into the lab with an idea that I did not sketch and I started to work with InDesign
.Te fyer started out very messy but then I just kept going. Te text I created at the top with the gradient that
was an accident. I had no idea what I did to get that. I frst tried to get rid of it then I thought wait this is some-
thing that I liked so I kept. I tried to center my logo, make it smaller, make it bigger. I tried using diferent pic-
tures but then I realized that the picture I started with worked perfectly with my gradient design.
Message:
I am trying to reach recent graduates and those who are in their frst year of graduate school, who want to have a
winning edge by becoming strong leaders.
Audience:
Recent graduates and those in their frst year of graduate school who are 22-30 years of age.
Top thing learned:
Sometimes a mistake can add a really good contrast to an idea that one has.

Description: A full-bleed promotional fyer. Tis included only using Microsof Word 2013 and an scanner.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): Te image used is my own original image. Te photo was printed at
Walgreens and I was able to upload it using an industrial sized scanner at the copy spot on the BYU-Idaho cam-
pus. Te process of designing using just Microsof Word 2013 was at frst a bit frustrating. I had to constantly
make adjustments, watch a ton of youtube videos and also spend a few days searching bing.com. Although it was
time consuming afer a few trials and errors I was able to get better results and it became a lot less frustrating. I
was able to use Microsof Word 2013 on my Lenovo laptop. Scanner on BYUI campus. A online pdf converter
from my search on Google. http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert/. and also to convert from a PDF to JPEG I
used http://pdf2jpg.net/.

Message: Fundraiser for veterans who are displaced. A 5k walk through Central Park NYC and then a dinner an
performances afer also in Central Park.

Audience: Civilians, veterans, and those who are currently serving in all branches of the US Military.

Color scheme and color names: Blue & white for the background. Since this was a picture of a fag there was also
red white & blue with a green tree also in the picture.

Top Ting Learned: Designing in Microsof Word can be frustrating if you are not patient and if you always
prefer InDesign. I found that you should like something for what it is but also what it can be. Not everything is
made perfect but with efort ones ideas can become a reality.
