FLIERDESCRIPTION: Promotional flier providing information about a graduate leadership conference.

PROGRAMS: Adobe InDesign

DATE: May 10, 2015

COURSE: Comm 130, Visual Media

INSTRUCTOR: Stucki

OBJECTIVES:

PROCESS:First I drew up four sketches for design ideas I had. After I chose the one that I liked best, I began to put it together in InDesign. Using the initial sketch, I created the basic outline/layout. As I began to build it and put the flier together, I made changes to the original ideas. I used a large block of color in the form of a gray box for the title. I think this draws in the eye to the title immediately.

COURSE: Comm 130, Visual Media

INSTRUCTOR: Stucki

OBJECTIVES:

PROCESS: After opening up the initial html and css documents, I began to change the codes to better fit my own design. First, I put in my own information in the headings and paragraphs. I then added the logo using the image tag. Next, I went in and changed the colors for the page. I first changed the text colors all to black using the color code. I then used the eyedropper tool in photoshop to match the colors from my logo to the colors I used in the page design. I found the color codes in photoshop and then added them into the code css.

BROCHUREDESCRIPTION: Offset folding brochure

PROGRAMS: Adobe InDesign

DATE: July 12, 2015

COURSE: Comm 130, Visual Media

INSTRUCTOR: Stucki

OBJECTIVES:

PROCESS: I began the design process by first narrowing down the information required for the brochure. I made a rough draft design of the flyers layout in InDesign. I then wrote out the body copy for the information that would be on the brochure. After doing that, I picked the images which I wanted to include in the brochure design and saved them. For the images, I used Photoshop to enhance and resize them for the brochure. After placing the background image into my InDesign project, I began to place the images. Following that, I inserted the text into the brochure. I set the text settings, including the size, font and color. The logo used in the brochure was created in Adobe Illustrator. I used the pen tool and text tool to create the logo. I then transferred the logo to the InDesign brochure project. The logo is used twice in the design.

MONTAGEDESCRIPTION: An inspirational montage made by the blending of two or more images, and the use of typography

PROGRAMS: Photoshop

DATE: May 31, 2015

COURSE: Comm 130, Visual Media

INSTRUCTOR: Stucki

OBJECTIVES:

PROCESS: Using Photoshop I used photo for the background and then blended the second image (the hands coming together to form a heart) onto that original photo. I used the eraser and brush tools to do this and changed the opacity of the hand image to blend better over the photo background. I then added text with contrasting fonts and placed them how I liked into the design.

IMAGINGDESCRIPTION: Using photography and photo editing skills, create a design for a company that properly conveys their message to the audience.

PROGRAMS: Adobe Photoshop

DATE: May 24, 2015

COURSE: Comm 130, Visual Media

INSTRUCTOR: Stucki

OBJECTIVES:

PROCESS: For this project I used solely Photoshop. I kept it pretty simple with the tools I used because I am still learning about the program. In the design I didnt want to take too much away from the photo but also knew that the words needed to be a focal point. My first draft I was told that the words and the rectangles behind them were harsh against the picture. To fix this, I played around with the opacity of the different rectangles and changed some to be more vibrant and some to be more softened.
