TO HAVE GIVE OTHERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER

I edited my image in photoshop. In the original image there was a staircase and rail that I edited out. I then used InDesign to complete the rest of my cover using the FOCUS process. I formulated my plan in the sketching and layout phase. I also organized my design in the sketching and layout phase but I also I did that along the way. I contrasted my design by balancing the text elements with the image and the barcode and I used contrast in the use of color. I selected my colors out of my original image and balanced all around the page to create a nice flow to the overall design. I unified the parts of my design by maintaining the same three fonts through-out the cover. I also used the rule of hierarchy to prioritize the focal point and bring it all together. Lastly, I simplified the message by listening to the critiques from the class, the instructor, and also my critique meeting with my roommate and edited the design accordingly.

To create something an image with a quote that people will enjoy.

First off, I had a totally completely different design that I ended up just not loving so I decided to start fresh with a new concept, image, and design.I was actually in Hawaii this past week I snapped a few photos of the gorgeous sunlight that lit up the sky and the water which defi-nitely inspired me to go with a Hawaiian theme.After choosing my image, I put it in Photoshop (sized 8.5 x 11) and did a little work on it. I played around with the saturation and the color selection to try to get the sky and sunset as illuminating as I could and also made the palm trees a little bit darker to give it a nice silhouette against the colorful sky.The background of my image was little bit busy so I knew I would have to create some sort of shape to put the text over if I wanted it to be legible and not lost in the trees. My image had a natural complementary color scheme of blue and orange I decided to use an orange that I pulled out from the sunset (but made it a little bit darker for prominence) and the same sky blue for the words to complete my design.

I thought about what I wanted t0 do for my image. I knew I defi-nitely wanted to do something with Christ’s hands and I knew I wanted to do the quote “Without him, we’re nothing but to him, we’re everything”. So the only thing I had to think about was what I wanted to use that represented us as his children and I thought sheep were perfect.I opened up the picture of Christ’s hands in Photoshop and use the color corrector to change Christ’s robe from white to red so the white sheep would be able to show up better.I added the picture of the sheep and by using a layer mask, the brush tool, and the blending options, I made it look clean, bal-anced, and have good flow.I then added the quote using correct typography and colors to make it look the best it can.I made sure to follow the basic design principles such as align-ment, repetition, and flow throughout this entire design.

After my first montage project, I wasn’t really happy without how it turned out so I knew I wanted to make one that’s even better. I went through some pictures that I have taken recently and I saw this one of a river that I really liked. I looked up quotes that have to do with rivers and I went with it. I used Photoshop to make this design. I had my roommates look over it to see if they like it and fixed the little critiques that they had for me.

To create an eye-catching business card and letterhead.

First, I googled different logos to use as inspiration. I found a few that I liked that I decided to base my design off of.I opened up Illustrator and created a main design that I wanted to consistently sue across all of my different designs.I then started playing around with a few different ideas, one that is symbol based, one that is typed based and one that is illustra-tion based.I took many different people’s votes for their favorite design. The symbol logo was the fan favorite so I decided to go with that, how-ever I kept some elements of my other designs when creating my letterhead and business cards.I followed all the rules that I learned from the FOCUS Textbook.

To create an eyecatching infographic that allow people can learn facts.

First I sketched up some ideas of what I wanted to do my info-graphic on. I had a lot of trouble coming up with an idea.I finally came up with an idea and opened up a document in Illus-trator and started designing.I realized that my design wasn’t anything unique or special so I went back to square one and started re-sketching. I came up with a new idea and got to work because I was running a little short on time. I conducted an interview of 100 BYUI students to find out what their favorite burger place is.After doing a little more research for a few extra facts, I had enough information to start on my new design.

First I did the activity on CodeAcademy to learn the ropesI opened the HTML in TextWrangler and got to work on writing my paragraphs about my logo design process. This was a little bit tricky so Google was my best friend- it really helped me solve the little elements I was missingI opened the CSS in TextWrangler and went to work with style side of my web design. After a lot of playing around and a lot of back and forth between TextWrangler and the web browser, I finally got it the way I wanted itI validated both my HTML and CSS codes
