Brochure
Description:

A duplex folding brochure for an animal shelter called Furry Friends

Process and Programs:

I used Illustrator to create the logo, then I chose the newsletter layout to
create a brochure in InDesign.
I used the font Euphorigenic for the titles and subtitles. I created curved
shapes with the pen tool and filled them with color. I chose colors green and
yellow, and overlapped them so they looked like different-colored lines. I
created paws with the pen tool and filled them with color brown and gray. For
the circle on the inside, I downloaded the picture of a dog and removed the
background in Photoshop, then I placed it on the circle, and wrapped the
text around it. I also wrapped the text in the body copy around the pictures
of a dog and a cat. I added contact information at the back of my brochure
and made circles for each info.

Montage
Description:

A Montage made in Photoshop

Process and Programs:

I opened a new blank document in Photoshop. I inserted the image of the

Salt Lake City temple. I chose the filter Soft Focus Lens Effect to make it look
more like a real background. Then I opened the image of clouds with the
same color scheme. With the lasso tool I selected the part that I wanted with
an opacity of 80 px. I inserted to my design. I inserted the image of two hands
reaching to each other. I deleted the background with both the magic tool
and the background eraser tool. I added a mask of the same image and
reduced the fill to 39%, then I erased the hand below with the brush at 100%
opacity. I used the font Precious Regular for the quote. I chose to make the
words Love and everlastingly bigger than the rest, and the name of the
author smaller. I flattened the layers and adjusted the shadow in the Levels
option. I also increased the intensity +35. I inserted a lens flare filter.

Photodesign
Description:

A design made in Photoshop

Process and Programs:

First, I thought of what I wanted to design in Photoshop. I decided that I

wanted to make a design for a quote I liked. I browsed my favorite quotes in
a Pinterest board, and found this one. The first thing I thought was : Winnie the
Pooh is red and yellow. I had to decide what other color I should use to have
a great color scheme and I came up with a Big Split Complementary color
scheme. It was easy to choose green and blue as additional colors because
I immediately thought of placing my Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal on green
grass, with the blue sky in the background.. I used Photoshop CC to adjust
the colors to make the picture brighter and the colors more vibrant. I fixed the
cyan sky to make it a true blue sky. I drew different circles in the colors of my
color scheme, that resemble bubbles, I changed portions of the typography
to a childlike font, and put more space between each speech.

Logos
Description:

A logo for a company

Process and Programs:

I drew some sketches before I started with Illustrator. I downloaded and

installed Walkway Bold. I drew cirles and rectangles to resemble eyes,
lashes and lips. With the pen tool, I filled the spaces in the es from the word
eyes and made them blue to make them look like eyeshadow.
I aligned the three words equally to the left, but resized the word lips, so
the S with the lips would be aligned with the eyes on the es from the word
eyes, and it would look like a face. I made the word and small, because
that one is the less important, and I didnt want it to take much space. I made
two other versions in Grayscale and white on a fucsia background.

Web Page
Description:

A website to explain the process behind my logo

Process and Programs:

I used Notepad++ to edit two documents: one HTML document, and one
pre-made CSS document. My HTML contains the logo I created in previous
weeks, and a brief description of the process I followed to create it. I used
Photoshop to find out my HEX color codes, and used them as the colors for
the background color and the headings. I edited colors, typography, fontsize and links with the CSS document.

Event Ad
Description:

An ad for a Breast Cancer Awareness Event

Process and Programs:

I used Microsoft Word to create this ad. I scanned the image of the face
of a woman and cropped it in half. I deleted the background. I have both
a sans serif and a decorative typeface. I chose the decorative one for the
words "Breast Cancer". I aligned the image to the left and the text to the right.
I added rectangles as the background of different portions of text to group
similar information together. I inserted the image of a pink ribbon, and made
an abstract woman sillhouette with pink shapes.

Business Card
Description:

A business card for a construction company

Process and Programs:

First, I designed the logo in Illustrator. I asked my brother for the name and the
type of company we would like to have, as well as an idea for a logo and
color scheme. He chose the name Beehive for his company, and wanted a
simple beehive as the logo. He didnt want a fancy typography, and I agreed
since it all was meant to look professional. He chose a monochromatic color
scheme in blue and black. I created the logo with ovals and curves with the
pen tool. Then I designed the letterhead and business cards in In Design.I
chose a blue wave as the decorative element of both the letterhead
and the business cards, a big beehive with 19% of opacity in both and
professional looking typography.
