PHOTODESIGN
DESCRIPTION
Photodesign project using a photo I took and an analogous color
scheme.
DATE
February 7th, 2015
COURSE / INSTRUCTOR
COMM 130 Section 1
Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Adobe Photoshop
OBJECTIVE
Learn basic photography skills and how to choose a color scheme
PROCESS
I went outside to take various photos. I then picked the photo I liked
best, and found a color scheme that worked with the photo I took.
On Photoshop I made various colored boxes using the analogous color scheme and angled them to match the angle of the character in the
photo. I used the lasso tool to copy a part of the shield and pasted it on
the top layer to make it appear as if it was popping out over the colored
boxes.

EVENT AD
DESCRIPTION
Event ad for a benefit concert for a sick boy.
DATE

COURSE / INSTRUCTOR

Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Microsoft Word
OBJECTIVE
Learn to use only Word design features without using any Adobe programs, including Photoshop. Learn how to scan images.
PROCESS
I made a few basic sketches of how I wanted the flier to look after having picked two images to scan that I wanted to include. Looking at the
images I chose a color scheme that I thought went well with them. I
went for a somewhat chaotic look for this flier, because it is for a punk
rock show.

BROCHURE
DESCRIPTION
Brochure for music store Victor Hemsley Music.
DATE
March 28th, 2015
COURSE / INSTRUCTOR
COMM 130 Section 1
Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
OBJECTIVE
Learn to set up a two-sided folding document using multiple quality
images. Learn to wrap text.
PROCESS
First I designed the logo in Illustrator. Once I had the logo I started
putting things together in InDesign. I wanted the brochure to resemble
a piano, so I made the piano keyboard visible to the side, and the brochure opens like the hood of a piano. I edited one of the images in Photoshop to make it blend with the background texture.

LOGOS
DESCRIPTION
Three logo variations for imaginary company Victor Hemsley Music.
DATE
February 22nd, 2015
COURSE / INSTRUCTOR
COMM 130 Section 1
Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Adobe Illustrator
OBJECTIVE
Create three different original logos for a company using only Illustrator.
PROCESS
First I made a bunch of sketches for logo ideas that I had. Then I opened
Illustrator and tried my best to recreate my sketches digitally. I used the
pen tool to draw half of a guitar, and then mirrorred the half to create a
whole symmetrical guitar, which I then filled in with a color. I used the
shapebuilder tool to create the music note.

MONTAGE
DESCRIPTION
A montage with a spiritual theme, pieced together from four different
images and with added typography.
DATE
February 14th, 2015
COURSE / INSTRUCTOR
COMM 130 Section 1
Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Adobe Photoshop
OBJECTIVE
Learn to blend multiple images together using masks. and unify a layout
with a consistent theme and dominant spiritual message.
PROCESS
First I made some rough sketches, and then I spent a long time searching online for images to use that would work with the idea in my head
and on my sketches. Once I found images that worked, I used masks to
hide every part of the image I did not want to use in the montage. I arranged the pieces together and did some blending to get the final result.

FLIER
DESCRIPTION
Black and white flier for a graduate leadership leadership conference.
DATE
January 24th, 2015
COURSE / INSTRUCTOR
COMM 130 Section 1
Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Adobe InDesign
OBJECTIVE
Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier layout.
PROCESS
I started with a basic outline, with the boxes, and then worked on picking the fonts I wanted to use for the title and body of my flier. These
fonts went through multiple changes before I settled on something I felt
works well. Throughout the entire process I was conscious that I wanted
to align everything as best I could. I picked the image I thought fit the
flier well and implemented it and the company logo into my flier.

STATIONERY
DESCRIPTION
Stationery for business Victor Hemsley Music.
DATE
Febuary 28th, 2015
COURSE / INSTRUCTOR
COMM 130 Section 1
Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Adobe InDesign, and Illustrator
OBJECTIVE
Create stationery for a company with contact information.
PROCESS
First I designed the logo in Illustrator. I arranged the logo and the important information at the top of the stationery. I then added two blue
waves to the top and bottom of the stationery, to keep it consistent with
the business card I designed for the same company.

BUSINESS CARD
DESCRIPTION
Business card for Victor Hemsley Music.
DATE
Febuary 28th, 2015
COURSE / INSTRUCTOR
COMM 130 Section 1
Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Adobe InDesign, and Illustrator
OBJECTIVE
Create a business card for a company with contact information.
PROCESS
I wanted to keep the business card simple. I put the logo on the back
side of the card, and to fill the space I streched the little piano keys I
had created for the logo to fill the bottom half of the card. On the front
I experimented changing the width of the wavy blue lines I was using. I
then outlined them to turn them into shapes. I turned down the opacity,
and I used the knife tool to cut the edges off that were bleeding off the
edge of the design.

WEB PAGE
DESCRIPTION
A webpage designed to showcase my logo for Victor Hemsley Music.
DATE
March 14th, 2015
COURSE / INSTRUCTOR
COMM 130 Section 1
Cory Kerr
PROGRAMS USED
Notepad++
OBJECTIVE
Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and CSS.
PROCESS
The first thing I did was to add my logo to the webpage. After typing
up a description of the logo that I pasted into the HTML document, I
opened Photoshop and used the eyedropper tool to pick out the color
of the guitar in my logo to use that color in the rest of my design. I used
the same font from the logo for the headings to add to the overall consistency of the webpages design. The last thing I did was center the logo.
