when there is nothing left to add, but when there is
nothing left to take away.

Description:

Matching business card and letterhead designed using a


personally created logo.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator
Adob InDesign

Objectives:

Create a new logo for either a fictitious or existing company.


Design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead.
Use the basic tools of Illustrator and InDesign.

Process:

I used an image of a fortune cookie as a point of reference, then created my


own using the Pen Tool in Illustrator. I chose my color scheme based off the
universally brown color of the fortune cookie, and incorporated other shades
of brown to fit the requirements for a monochromatic color scheme, and I
used those colors to accent the edges of the cookie. These color accents were
placed strageically to give the icon a sense of depth as they imitate lighting. I
then used the Shape Tool to create a rectangle and placed it on the edge of the
cookie to make a paper fortune where the company name is found. After
that was done, I selected both the cookie and the paper and made a copy, then
made the copy gray and offset it from the logo and placed it behind it to create
a small drop shadow. Once the icon was finished, I took the shape of the
cookie, copied and enlarged it, then reduced the opacity to create a watermark.
Once that was finished, I added the name of the company and my contact
information in contrasting fonts.

Objectives:

Create a new logo for either a fictitious or existing company.


Design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead.
Use the basic tools of Illustrator and InDesign.

Process:

I used the Shape Tool to create two rectangles, both 2 x 3.5, to create borders
for the front and back of my business card. I then copied the logo and contact
information from my letterhead into their respective places. I replicated the
cookie icon on the back of the card, but removed the company name to have
space for my contact information. Once everything was in place, I created
another rectangle, placed it behind the front logo, and used the eyedropper tool
to match the dark brown color within the logo.

Web Page

A web page designed to showcase a personally created logo.

Program(s)/Tools:
Sublime Text Editor

Objectives:

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


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

Process:

I created this web page using Sublime Text Editor. After finishing my HTML
markup, I attached a pre-made CSS document and linked it in the HTML head
tags. I used the colors from my logo as colors on my web page. Then I added
a high resolution image as my background that properly tied into the theme
of the logo. I changed the fonts to ones that were more web-appropriate, then
declared several backup fonts to accommodate many different browsers. I
also centered my logo and added some padding so it didnt feel too crowded.
Lastly, I styled the link at the bottom of the page.

Objectives:

Create a new logo for either a fictitious or existing company


with three variations.
Use the basic tools of Illustrator.

Process:

I used the Shape Tool to create several circles of mutliple sizes. I used the
largest two circles as my basic lifesaver shape, and as the lower shadow. Then
I used the remaining smaller circles as the hole, the inner shading, and the
upper inner shadow. To create the appearnace of shadows, I selected those
circles, colored them a light gray, then reduced the opacity. I then chose
two contrasting fonts and played with the sizing to create a poitn of focus. I
changed the word productions to green to complemet the red in the lifesaver,
then aligned the first letters of both words.

Process:

I scanned the image, thenproperly cropped and sized it. I chose my color
scheme based on the color of the facepaint, then colored my text accordingly.
I used the Shape Tool to drag out a rectangle upon which I placed the event
information. In order to create a better sense of visual flow, I reduced the
opacity of the rectangle and colored it red to give my text legibility without
compromising style.

Brochure

Description:

A two-sided (offset) folding brochure.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Illustrator
Abode Photoshop

Inside

Outside (Open)

Objectives:

Set up and align a two-sided, folded document.


Learn how to wrap text around and image.
Use paragraph styles in InDesign.

Process:

First, I set up the offset fold in InDesign. I used many smaller photographs
on the offset to create repetition and alignment. I chose a color scheme that
would complement the cover picture. Using Illustrator, I created a logo using
the Shape Tool. I used Photoshop to cut out the image of the home on the
inside-left page, then refined the edges, and placed the cutout on a new layer.
I then saved it as a.png so there would be no background of any kind. Once
placed in the brochure, I used the Text Wrap window to place the paragraph
text around the edges of the image.

Montage

Description:

An inspirational montage created by blending two or more images, and using


appropriate typography.

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:

First I added a layer mask to the background image to add a more blue hue to
it, in order to tone down the brightness and add a bit of contrast. I then added
the image of the woman, which I cut out using the Lasso Tool, then added a
layer mask and used the Brush Tool with opacity set to 30% to blend the image
and remove any hard edges. I repeated the process with the image of Christ. I
then added some type and added a drop shadow for maximum legibility.

Process:

First I created several sketches of possible layouts. I chose the one I liked the
best and used it as a guide to create it digitally in InDesign. I chose a picture
conducive to both repetition and alignment, then added a gray, transparent
rectangle that I placed diagonally to add to the flow. I added appropriate text
using contrasting fonts, and emboldened certain words to create emphasis and
help clarify the message. I was given the image, logo, and copy for this flier.
Additionally, I checked the copy for spelling and grammatical errors.

Canon Camera

Objectives:

Learn basic photography skills.


Use a digital camera to take a quality image, then download it.

Process:

I took this picture using a Canon digital camera. I then opened it in Photoshop
and cropped it, then used the Healing Tool to airbrush out a powerline that sat
in the middle of the shot. I then tweaked the saturation, hue, and brightness
levels. After that, I added proper typography using contrasting fonts and an
analogous color scheme.
