BrochureDescription: Brochure created for Rhino Tours

Date: 7/11/2104

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign

Objectives: To express extreme tours and what that really means through a brochure.

Process: I started by creating the Rhino logo in indesign. I thought that including the horn in

the N would look nice so I started with just that but it looked kind of weird and almost looked

like a shark fin so I added the face of the rhino which helped the overall look anyway. After

doing this it still looked dull so I decided that adding a rhino would look good. I then made

it look as though he was coming through the metal using a picture of a hole in a wall and

photoshop. I then started on the inside. It took me a long time to finally decide that this was

the background that I wanted to use and then I just looked for different images of safaris.

MontageDescription: A montage for another travel company that guides through aztec temples

Date:

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: photoshop

Objectives: To communicate a feeling of excitement in tourism using a montage.

Process: I had started by looking for a picture to place in the background and at first that

happened to be an aztec man but then I found that the best to use would be the picture of

the jaguar. I then found the background picture and found a way to mix the two together

using different amounts of light. The text was the next part; I added a gradient to make it

look as though the sun was shining onto the text.

LogosDescription: 3 Logos that I created for a fictional design company that I would like to one

day create.

Date:

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: Adobe Illustrator

Objectives: I want people to be able to look at these logos and immediately think of the

professionalism that my company can offer them. I also would like them to see the logos

and think of creativity and also cleanliness.

Process: I started by drawing up some different concepts for the different logos. I wanted to

have a very basic logo, A logo with design and I have always like signature logos so I tried

that out as well. I used illustrator to come up with a few different designs. The hardest was

the middle. as soon as I came up with the idea I was then able to illustrate the wings and

halo with illustrator.

Letter HeadDescription: A letterhead that I created for a company nearby. The company is a railing

and steele company.

Date:

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: Illustrator

Objectives: I tried to create something that looked professional and also portrayed the idea

of the railing that the company sells which is in the logo and letterhead.

Process: I used a few different programs, both Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. The hardest

part was the creation of the Logo, after doing that I was able to then find a color scheme

that worked nicely and professionally. I found that after creating the Logo and design I was

then able to create the rest quite easily using color and design .

Business cardDescription: A business card for a company in Idaho. The company is looking for something

professional looking and artistic.

Date:

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: Illustrator

Objectives: To communicate professionalism and quality through business cards. I wanted

people to think quality as soon as they see these business cards.

Process: I started by creating the logo which was probably the hardest part. I then created

the cards using illustrator by placing the logos and creating the borders to the cards. The

borders are probably my favorite part just because they are add a little bit of grunge; this

fits the steele look that the company offers.

Web pageDescription: This is my very first website for my design company.

Date:

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: Illustrator, Text Wrangler

Objectives: To communicate a professional, exciting and creative website. I wanted

customers to understand that working with Diamond Design would help their company to

move up in quality and excitement as well.

Process: I started by using illustrator to create a logo. I found a diamond online and

created a vector to look like one. The hardest part was making the diamond look creative

but professional. I then incorporated the design into a website using HTML. After creating

the base of the website I then stylized it using CSS.

ImagingDescription: I designed a picture that I took and designed it with a quote.

Date:

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: photoshop

Objectives: To create a good feel and use a quote that can influence the lives of others

using a photo that I took.

Process: I used photoshop for this assignment, I photographed a few different pictures

that I actually have below. I then tried to include a few different colors from the photo

to create a swatch for the text and top border.

Event AdDescription: A bulletin created for the advertisement of a “Battle of the Bands” benefit

concert. In other words it is a fundraiser that will help with cancer prevention.

Date:

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: Microsoft word

Objectives: Create an event ad using only photoshop.

Process: The Process on this assignment was somewhat simple since I could only use

Microsoft Word. I started by finding a photo in a magazine which is placed in the

background. The photo was very bright at first so I added a gradient which I placed

above it to lessen the brightness. I then added the fonts, they were a problem at first

because they were hard to read so I added a few more gradients with a higher amount

of opacity underneath the text to help it pop. It wasn’t a very long process but definitely

rewarding.

FlierDescription: A black and white flyer that promotes a graduates leadership conference for

educating students on how to become better leaders.

Date:

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 05, Julie peterson

Programs/tools: Photoshop

Objectives: creae a black and white flyer using photos that were given to me.

Process: The process of this assignment was quite simple. I started by creating a few

different drafts on paper. By creating this drafts or sketches I was able to let my mind

expand on how I would really create the flyer. To be honest the sketches were a lot

different than the final outcome but I liked the outcome anyway. I used mostly InDesign

for creating the flyer. I created a few different boxes and just molded them to the shapes

that I wanted using the Direct selection tool.
