Brochure
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Course: Communications 130 section 3
Date: July 12, 2015

Description:

A two-sided (duplex) folding brochure.

Objective:

To inform people of the amazing adventures that can be had during the winter season by taking a heli
skiing trip with our company.

Process:

I started this out by using Adobe Illustrator to create the Far out industries logo. I used the pen tool to
created the mountain shape for the letter A in the logo. Once the logo was created I went to InDesign
to pretty-up my layout.
Because of my overall projection of heli skiing and being out in the mountains, I thought black
on white would be perfect for the cover and back of the brochure. For the inside I chose blue to be
my background. I chose this because all the mountains have a blue tint to them with snow and blue
with white went really well and flows with the mountain theme. I also chose some cool title fonts to
give my design a snowy look. I chose to do a wrap text around the first image of the mountain. I did
this becasue the mountain has a cool wave to it and I knew it would flow well with the text being a
mountain. I was able to find great high quality images to give a real feel of this company and what we
want to accomplish in the mountains.

business cards

Instructor: Ben Pingel

Course: Communications 130 section 3
Date: June 13, 2015

Description:

Business cards representing a high end mountain bike company.

Objective:

To promote mountain biking to everyone. The words chain and love are very strong for biking and
appreciation. This will reach an audience of many.

Process:

I started this project by using Adobe Illustrator to create the logo and then move everything in to
InDesign to finish the layout of the business cards. I focused in a lot on a good color scheme with
creativity to the layout to draw attention to the company and make promotions. I repeated some
elements such as the wheel. A challenge was finding out how to tie in chain with love to make them
seem together but both creative. I finally was able to do so by changing the font of the word chain and
overlap it with the greater text of love.

Description:

Letterhead representing a high end mountain bike company.

Objective:

To promote mountain biking to everyone. The words chain and love are very strong for biking and
appreciation. This will reach an audience of many.

Process:

I started this project by using Adobe Illustrator to create the logo and then move everything in to
InDesign to finish the layout of the letterhead. I focused in a lot on a good color scheme with creativity
to the layout to draw attention to the company and make promotions. I repeated some elements such
as the wheel as a watermark with a low end opacity to allow text to flow over without being disrupted.
A challenge was finding out how to tie in chain with love to make them seem together but both
creative. I finally was able to do so by changing the font of the word chain and overlap it with the
greater text of love.

Logos
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Course: Communications 130 section 3

Description:

Logo for a lacrosse equipment and retail store.

Objective:

To satisfy the needs of purchasing high end, quality lacrosse equipment and enjoy quality retail items.

Process:

This project was very fun to create using Adobe Illustrator. I first started this project by creating three
separate designs. I then went around and had each logo voted on to its popularity. I then chose my
favorite design by also using the input of the votes to choose one final logo. I then went back in to the
program and refined my design by tweaking little things to make the design more legible and at a
format where it can be shrunk down and have the details remain.

Instructor: Ben Pingel
Course: Communications 130 section 3
Date: May 24, 2015

Description:

Applying color in to a flyer layout using an original photo while demonstrating good photography
skills and image editing using Adobe programs.

Objective:

I wanted to promote the sport of lacrosse to show any person studying at BYU-Idaho that this fun sport
is available and enjoyable for any to watch or participate in.

Process:

I first came up with the idea that I wanted to promote the sport of lacrosse. I developed a color scheme
and chose complementary. Blue and orange is what I had in mind which fit perfectly using colors in my
original image to fit in with the color scheme. I took a quality photo focusing on attributes such as good
composition with lead room. I then went to Adobe Photoshop and was able to edit the image and apply
details to make an advertisement. Hue and Saturation, and levels were altered in the image.

Montage
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Course: Communications 130 section 3
Date: July 15, 2015

Description:

An inspirational spiritual montage made by blending images together and typography.

Objective:

To motivate every person in need of a spiritual lift.

Process:

I was inspired to make this montage due to current events in my church. The two men in the corner
had recently passed away. They were very well known and a key part to my church and to the faith
of many. I was inspired to incorporate images of the two men with an image of Christ and use an
inspirational quote from scriptures. This montage was done more as a tribute to their dedication and
service to thousands. This project was done using Adobe Photoshop with layer masking.

Flyer

Course: Communications 130 section 3

Description:

Black and white flyer to promote a graduate leadership conference.

Objective:

My design is trying to help recent graduates who want to have the upper hand in business, by
becoming strong leaders, by receiving useful help from this leadership conference.

Process:

First I started with some sketches to get ideas flowing for a design. After some critiquing I was able to
use my sketches to help me create a successful design using Adobe InDesign. I created squares using a
black-gray scale. This provided the design to be visually pleasing with some good contrast and also by
focusing in on using the rule of odds. Next I focused on good alignment with the body copy and image
down to the logo leaving plenty of white space between images and text to be visually pleasing. The
logo, image, and text copy were provided for this flyer.

Webpage
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Course: Communications 130 section 3
Date: June 26, 2015

Description:

A webpage designed to explain a personally created logo.

Objective:

That my company Six Shots Lacrosse is there to assist anyone in purchasing lacrosse equipment or retail.

Process:

This webpage was created using a program, TextWrangler. I had very little experience with HTML/CSS
before this project. This was a great way to obtain some good experience and have fun while creating
and entire webpage using just a simple program.
After creating my body copy in an HTML document I dragged a pre-made CSS document into my
HTML to start creating the layout and pretty-up the webpage. I used the colors in the CSS by opening
my image logo in Photoshop and using the eyedropper to give me the color code. I changed the fonts
and color scheme of the webpage and did some simple adjusting to make it original and fit with my
logo that was created.

Event Ad

Course: Communications 130 section 3

Description:

A color event ad to promote a charity event using Microsoft Word and a scanner.

Objective:

I am promoting a fund raiser to raise money for children in need at the Seattle Childrens Hospital.
This will be a fun event being a live acoustic cafe where everyone will be able to have a good time and
enjoy some wonderful music while participating in helping children in need.

Process:

I started by scanning the back image of the guitar player and adding it to a Microsoft Word design file.
I played off the green X on the guitar to choose my color scheme because that to me was the most
noticeable part of the image. I chose the font title to be green to match the guitar to bring it to life more
and give good contrasting elements to the image. I was also able to have great alignment with the text
and have 5 elements of font on the page to keep it interesting with the rule of odds.
