Montage
Description:

This is a montage project. The montage is bringing into the file another image that
blends well with the background image. Its a good tool to make an image look more
powerful.

Date:
5/31/15

Course/Instructor:
Comm 130
Emily Kunz

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

Learn to manage Photoshop layers.

Learn to blend images together smoothly, using masks.
Use filters.
Apply appropriate typography.

Process:

I first started looking for a quote. I have always been very found of President Hinkley. I
deicded to do some research to find some of his quotes. I found one that I really enjoyed.
After I found the quote I started looking for images of President Hinkley and stormy
weather. After I found my images, I used the lasso tool and used a feather of 100px
around President Hinkleys face. I moved the image on top of the lake image. I put a
mask over that image and blended it to look smooth against the picture of the lake.
I added the quote in the text tool, added a minor drop shadow because the color I used
for the type is white. Originally, the image of the lake was not a painting, but an actual
image. Something that I wanted to try, was a filter to make the image into a painting to
make that picture more consistent with my picture of President Hinkley. I thought that
was cool that Photoshop had a filter for that. I had to play with the settings a little bit, but
the outcome was pretty cool I think.

First I did some rough drafts on paper, then used Adobe Illustrator to draw the digital

Use the basic tools of Illustrator & InDesign.

Process:

Had to come up with a logo, did some sketches to find a good logo. After I finished
drawing the logo I opened up Illustrator and used the text tool to create an E. I then
placed little circles on top of the E to make it look more like a pizza. I filled out the rest
of the content with the text tool. I used the pen tool to design a slice of pizza for the
stationary paper. Used a lightened color of the same yellow in the E. I then copied the
content to the business cards file and arranged the content.

Brochure
Description:

For this project, we were supposed to make a brochure for something. I decided to make
one based on traveling to Romania.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Indesigns
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web page.

Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and how it appeals to a target
audience.
Design a web page using HTML to display a logo and content.
Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and basic understanding of CSS.
Identify hex colors for web design.
Compress multiple files in a zipped folder to attach as one file.

Process:

In order to create this brochure, I had to first brainstorm possible templates and ideas. I
did some sketches to give me some ideas. Once I found an idea that I was pleased with,
I created a new InDesign template. I had to create grid lines to map out where the folds
would be placed. After I did that, I began to design. I found some images that I really
liked from Romania online. I placed them in the areas I sketched out. After my text and
headlines were inserted, I began to work on a logo. I opened a new template in Adobe
Illustrator. I used the text tool and typed out the words, Travel Romania. I inserted my
new logo into my brochure and then began to play around with a color scheme. I took
the eye drop tool and took the color from one of the images from Romania. I then went
to Adobe Kuler and explored the color schemes that they had available for that color
I found using the eye drop tool. I then took those colors and played with them in my
design until I found the best possible pattern.

Program(s)/Tools:

Objectives:

Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography.

Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier layout.
Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesign document to keep links intact.

Process:

The process included several sketches to work with possible design layouts. After
selecting the best sketch, I used Adobe InDesign to build the flier. Some of the main
principles that I used in this flier were alignment, white space and shape.

Event ad

Program(s)/Tools:
Microsoft Word
Canon Scanner

Objectives:

Find, scan and import a high-quality image.

Create a full-bleed design
Use text boxes for layout in Word.
Insert and edit images in Word.

Process:

First I had to locate an image to use for the ad. After I located an image that I wanted
to use, I scanned the image in and then I set it as a watermark to make the image the
background image for this flier. Once I had the image set to the background, I decided
began writing my text. After the text was typed up, I played around with various layouts
until I came across this layout. I created a black text box in Microsoft Word and made
it opaque. I stretched it out to fit the content and gave it some padding. The design
principles that I used were alignment, typography and white space.

web page
Description:

This project was 2 weeks long. In that time frame, we learned to how to write HTML and
CSS. HTML and CSS are the languages used to develop webpages. The screenshot above
is the end result.

Program(s)/Tools:

Objectives:

Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web page.

Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and how it appeals to a target
audience.
Design a web page using HTML to display a logo and content.
Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and basic understanding of CSS.
Identify hex colors for web design.
Compress multiple files in a zipped folder to attach as one file.

Process:

At first I had to take the logo that we made 2 weeks ago and resize it and format it to
a .PNG file format. I then used the eye drop tool in Photoshop to find the colors in the
logo. I wrote my HTML in a program called Adobe Brackets, a text editor. After I had my
HTML ready, I linked the demo.css file to my HTML doc in the header. I used the colors
from my logo that I found in Photoshop and I changed the colors in my doc to match my
logo colors. I used inspect element in the browser to see a live preview of the code.

imaging
Description:

A personally taken photograph that has been edited/formatted using Photoshop.

Date:

Course/Instructor:

Program(s)/Tools:
Canon PowerShot Camera
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

Learn basic photography skills.

Use a digital camera to take a quality image, then download it.
Size and crop the image.
Adjust image brightness, contrast, hue and saturation levels.
Use a selection tool to isolate a portion of the image.
Desaturate the selected portion of the image.
Use a filter or colorize a portion of the image.

Process:

After I went and collected all of my images, I transferred the files to my computer. Once
I had the photos saved to my computer, I brought them into Photoshop one at a time.
With each image, I would first adjust the levels of the image. This corrected the lighting
on the photo. After I adjusted the vibrance, which gave the image more color. Then to
really polish the color off and fine tune specific colors, I used the Selective Color tool,
which allowed me to adjust the individual colors. To top it off, I ran a sharpen tool around
the focused parts of the image.
