Three logos designed for the same brand.IllustratorFebruary 20, 2015Comm 130 Section 5Ben PingelCreate a variety of logos to choose from.I drew inspiration from retro logos as well as from guitar and amp manufacturers logos. From my sketches, I began searching for a variety of fonts that would give me the look and feel of a throwback rock band.

A folding brochure for personal branding.Illustrator, InDesignMarch 27, 2015Comm 130 Section 5Ben PingelA two-sided folded document with logo.For my personal logo, I wanted it to reflect my skill as well as include my initials. Its a rather simple logo and uses basic circles and rectangles. I wanted to make the front page shorter than the space underneath so that the bass would show up on both surfaces. Rather than use flat colors for the background, I opted for a simple rust colored photo and then a more busy similarly colored background for the back page. My content didnt need to be in a specific order so I took advantage of that and made all of my content asymmetrical. Its a bit chaotic but the effect lends itself to the attitude of rock music.

Business card with original logo.IllustratorFebruary 27, 2015Comm 130 Section 5Ben PingelCreate a business card with stationary. For this project, I kept everything very simple. I drew inspiration from a wallpaper that I had that resembled a computer board. The rounded rectangle resembles a computer chip and the lines are the connections to other components. I used the pathfinder tool to cut the text out of the shape so that the design is visible inside the text.

Very simply put, I used the exact same design from the business card and placed across the top of the stationary. I also added a watermark to echo the back of my business card.

A poster using an image I took.PhotoshopFebruary 6, 2015Comm 130 Section 5Ben PingelUse an image I took in a color scheme.I used Photoshop to create a cutout of my photo of the bass. Once cutout, I was able to adjust the levels and saturation to get a pretty close color to the green I used in my color scheme. The rest of the design is made up of overlapping circles.

One challenge I faced in my early designs is that the bass felt small and underwhelming. To make it seem bigger, I made the bass fall off the page in the bottom. Rather than show the entire bass, the implied lines outside the bounds of the page make it seem more interesting.

A website demonstrating CSS and HTML.TextWrangler, PhotoshopMarch 14, 2015Comm 130 Section 5Ben PingelDemonstrate color scheme in CSS.I knew from the beginning, based on my logo, that I wanted a very flat look to my web page. Once I had the copy finished, I styled everything as minimally as possible. No rounded corners, no extra borders, and no frills. Nothing fancy here. I opted for a single Sans Serif font and only three colors.

A poster that blends images.PhotoshopFebruary 13, 2015Comm 130 Section 5Ben PingelUse the brush tool to mask images.I began this project with the quote and designed around that. Firstly, I chose a blue color scheme that felt serene. I found an ink image that looked nice and used it for my background. I then used an image of a woman meditating by the ocean which both reinforced my peaceful message and fit with my color scheme. I masked out the woman in the photo to blend and disappear into the background. I wanted it to feel translucent. Next, I arranged my text to emphasize the word peace. At this point, I found that my background was a bit to sharp so i used a Gaussian blur to create a more dreamy effect.

Create an ad for an event.Microsoft Word January 30, 2015Comm 130 Section 5Ben PingelLearn to use Word as a design tool.The design began from a scan of a Fender owners manual. I angled the two boxes to create an energetic and dynamic design.

The original image I scanned was black and white, so in order to color it, I made the image transparent and placed a colored block behind it. The top and bottom are complimentary colors (blue and orange) and also have a subtle gradient that draws the eye toward the center of the poster. The main background is a light gray which makes the page less harsh to look at but also contrasts well with the black text.

A flyer in black and white.InDesignJanuary 23, 2015Comm 130 Section 5Ben PingelConsider placement and alignment.The greatest challenge of this design was the text wrap around the circular image. This effect was created using two utilities. First, a square image was pasted in a round frame. (You can see how this simple effect is done here: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/frames-objects.html) Secondly, a textwrap was applied to the image. Extra padding was also applied to ensure that the text was no too close to the image. Great care was taken to make sure that the top and bottom of the image and the text was aligned. This required a good deal of adjusting the font size and the tracking as well as resizing the image itself.
