LOGOSDescription: Logo for my personal mark

Date: 10/31/15

Course/Instructor: COMM 130-07, Brother Pingel

Programs, Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator

Objectives: Create a variety of vogos to fit a company

or a personal image. Use the basic tools of Adobe Illus-

trator

Process: I’ve had the idea of using a star in a circle as

my own mark for some time, but all the ones I’ve tried

to come up with were somewhat lack luster. However,

when I got this assignment, it really got my creative

juices flowing. My rough I tried a few different varia-

tions, but I was right the first time as most voted for my

first logo. So in my final draft, I refined it further, adding

the starburst from my third design, and making the

star somewhat 3D.

LETTERHEADDescription: Design of a new letterhead for my Dad’s

Dental Office, in conjunction with the buisness card.

Date: 11/5/15


Programs, Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe

InDesign

Objectives: Create a new logo to fit a company or per-

sonal image.Design consistent layouts for a business

card and letterhead.Use the basic tools of Illustrator &

InDesign.

Process: I liked this project because I was helping

out my Dad. His original logo and sign were decidedly

lackluster, so I helped him spruce it up. I used Adobe

Illustrator to create the logo, and then inserted the logo

into Adobe InDesign, where I laid out the final product,

added text, and then exported both. Indesign was a

clunky program to use, but if you know her ways, you

can work wonders.

BUISNESS CARDDescription: Design of a new letterhead for my Dad’s

Dental Office, in conjunction with the buisness card.

Date: 11/5/15


Programs, Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator,

Adobe InDesign

Objectives: Create a new logo to fit a company or per-

sonal image.Design consistent layouts for a business

card and letterhead.Use the basic tools of Illustrator &

InDesign

Process: Just like the letter head, Dad’s buisness card

needed some sprucing up. Creating a 3x1.5 inch

buisness card was the easy part, then it was just a

matter of adding the details with the logo, the name,

and all the buisness information. The best part is that

Dad may use these in the future

WEBPAGEDescription: Webpage advertising a new logo I created.

Date: 11/21/15


Programs, Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator, CSS, HTML, and

Notepad ++

for a web page.Write content to describe the process of

creating your logo and how it appeals to a target audience.

Design a web page using HTML to display a logo and con-

tent.Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and basicunder-

standing of CSS.Identify hex colors for web design.Com-

press multiple files in a zipped folder to attach as one file

Process: Coding was a daunting prospect at first, but the

more I got into it, the more I found it came easy to me. Af-

ter Designing the Logo in Illustrator, I created the webpage

slowly but surely. The hardest part was getting the form-

mating right, as the code got trickier, but with some help

from tutors, I figured it out, and created a thing of beauty.

BROCHUREDescription: a stylized threefold brochure for a clas-

sic car company.

Date: 12/5/15


Programs, Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photo-

shop, Adobe InDesign

Objectives: Set up and align a two-sided, folded doc-

ument.Learn how to wrap text around an image.Use

paragraph styles in InDesign.

Process: This was a fun project. Inspired by the retro

futuristic videogame, “Fallout 4”, I decided to create a

brochure advertising a line of classic atomic powered

cars. I first created the logo in Illustrator, and found

and refined the Images in Photoshop, then I took them

to InDesign, where I created the layout, and put every-

thing together. By far the hardest part was turning the

car on the front panel from white to red. I used alot of

filters, and clever brush work to make that possible. In

the end, its a classic design for some classic cars.

Objectives: Find, scan and import a high-quality im-

age.Create a full-bleed designUse text boxes for layout

in Word. Insert and edit images in Word

Process: Firstly, this is where some of my designs get

a little lackluster. I am pleased with how this turned

out, but it could have been better. Firstly, after taking a

picture of my roommate and his fiance, I took the im-

age to word, found a border, and tried to make it look

as frilly as possible, focusing on making look some-

what like a wedding invatation.

Special thanks to my Uncle Collin who gave me these

souvenirs, from when I toured Disney Studios. I ar-

ranged all my souviners on my bed, took the picture,

and brought it into photoshop, where I enhanced , and

brightened the image. The sharpen tool was a little

difficult to use, especially on this one, mainly because

I had no idea what I was doing, but I found it enhance

the lines on some of the drawings very well.

I discovered more about Capoeria, the first word that

popped into my head was “Exotic” I tried to give it that

exotic feel without, seeming too foreign or threatening.

THe end result was good, but with the skills I have now,

I could’ve done alot more.

MOVIE POSTERDescription: Logo for my personal mark

Date: 11/20/15


Programs, Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

Objectives: Extra Credit

Process: Being a James Bond Fan, I wanted to create a new

poster for one of the movies. I first brought in a image of a

textured gold circle and overlayed the bond gunbarrel logo

onto it. Then I input some other photohoped images of lo-

cations, characters, and setpieces, with me in the middle,

I then added several other layers to it, including the movie

title, and credits.
