Process:I created my design in Adobe Illustrator. I opened two different pages
changed them to landscape layout. Next I used the ruler tool bar to cr
a guide and rulers to set my project margins up to. I decided to cut off
of the front of my brochure and overlap it and line it up with the back

Next I inserted my text that I had previously typed, and I entered it int

coordinating pictures to go along with the different categories that I hchosen. I entered my text and a picture to go along with the category
added the pricing, how long the session would be, and roughly how m
pictures I would give them.
Next I created my logo by tracing the outline of a camera. I added the
swirl in the middle to look like the camera lens and also like a rose. Tha

Process:I actually really enjoyed using Illustrator to design these logos. It w
fun to kind of mess around with the program and learn new thing
to do. For starters, I began by sketching a few different ideas of thi
logo I had. I then scanned them into Illustrator and used the pen t
to trace my sketches, such as the ice cream topper and the tornad
cone. I then added text, shapes, color and messed around with all
these until I found a logo design that I liked. I really wanted my las
logo to turn out because of the overall theme of the logo.
I picked a frozen yogurt shop called twisted, which incorporated
both a twister (tornado) and an ice cream twist. I wanted to recrea
that image and that is exactly what I tried to do with my last logo.
Typography is such an important characteristic when designing a
logo as well, so I found myself looking at free font websites to find
a font that fit the overall theme of my logo as well. I found differen
text that went with my logo and the entire twisted theme. I played
around with the text size and colors to make a functioning logo.

Description:Use good photography and photo editing skills to make a
poster. Also to incorporate color and design a layout for a
poster.
Process:To start this project, I turned to my Visual Focus book and
decided on a color scheme. I chose the Split Complemen-
tary color scheme. Then I used my Nikon D3200 camera
to shoot a picture of some fruit with indoor light. Next I
opened my picture in Photoshop and used these editing
techniques: levels, sharpness, saturation, and color balanc
then took that edited picture and designed an 8.511 lay-out. This layout had to have my edited photo, some text,
and repeating design elements. I used the Split Comple-
mentary color scheme that I picked out before and added
color swatches with their color names into my design. I ha
a lot of fun incorporating the repeating hexagon through
out the design. I changed the colors of the hexagon to go
along with the color scheme. By doing this I created the
consistency and flow that I wanted.

Description:This is a black and white flier I made promoting a Graduat
Leadership Conference.
Process:I started this flier project by making 4 different sketches o
designs on some paper. I tried different layouts with rear-
ranging the text, pictures, and header. After deciding on o
that I wanted to digitally make, I opened up Adobe Illustra
and started designing. I used contrast in my header by usi
a dark black square behind the white text to make the title
stand out from the rest. I spaced out the text on my flier a
used bold text to emphasis important things such as the
date, time, place, and where to register. I placed the logo a
the bottom of the page along with a black line design tha
coordinated to the same design on the flier header. By do
this, it helped to create flow throughout the flier creating
feeling of unity and gestalt.

Process:I created this web page using Notepad ++. I was able to down the
corresponding HTML and CSS files that went with this webpage
project. I was amazed to see how just changing one simple thing
either CSS or HTML could change so much on my webpage! HTM
and CSS are all very new to me, so this was definitely a learning e
perience.
I started out by connecting by previously downloaded HTML and
CSS files. Again, I did all of this coding with the program Notepad++. I saved my image in the corresponding file and was able to up
load it on to my webpage. I opened my logo in photoshop so tha
I could find the exact colors to match for the rest of my blog. I wa
able to change the fonts on my webpage to Times New Roman, C
libri, and Georgia. I also entered some back up fonts in case a com
puter did not have that font. I was able to use padding around my
logo to space out my logo from the text. Doing this was one of th
hardest things to do in CSS. It was so hard to get the numbers jus
right without it looking weird or uneven.

Description:I made this event ad for an upcoming block party at a pla
called Pizza Planet. For this full-bleed flier, I only used Mic
rosoft Word to design it, along with a previously scanned
picture that I had found.
Process:For this even ad I made, I only used the program Microsof
Word. I started out by finding a picture that I could use in
ad. I found in one of my roommates cookbooks, a picture
a delicious looking piece of pizza. I scanned this image to
my computer and proceeded with the next step. I remove
the background on the pizza image and placed it on my
flier as the focal point. I used a combination of colors and
different text on my ad. I added a black square party behi
the pizza to give contrast and color to the ad. I used a spe
cific color scheme throughout the entire ad. I used arrows
and lines to draw your eye towards the message of this
event ad and to cause movement within the ad. I wanted
this ad to be fun and to stand out to its audience. I was al
able to add little circles to break up the text and even to
slant the text to cause it to stand out as well.

Description:This is a spiritual montage I made using at least two diffe
ent images. I combined the two different images togethe
to create one functioning image with the use typography
Process:For this montage project, I started out by brainstorming
which way to present this spiritual theme. I finally found
quote that I loved and went to work finding images that
I could correlate it with. I thought of my overall idea and
found two different images that worked well together to
get my idea across. I opened both images into Photosho
and used the lasso tool to cut the phone image out andplace in on my main picture. I was able to add a mask and
change the opacity to blend the two pictures together
better. I then added text up in the upper right hand cor-
ner. I also changed the opacity on the text as well so that
blended in more to the background. I placed big quotati
marks behind the text with a really low opacity. This gave
the feeling of a quote in a fun, different way.
