Process:First I created the logo using Adobe Ilustrator. This projuct is in conjunction with another project so the description for making the logo can be found under its own project. I first created the base code for the website using HTML coding. These was mostly what the site would say, and the logo itself. The color, design and everything else you see was accomplished using CSS coding. I looked up a coulpe of coding tricks especially for my design and what you see to the right is the end result.

Process:Logo creation in Illustrator, Text wrapping, Paragraph Styling, Image editing and trimming. I had a project to try and create a PR campaign for the Orphanage Service Support Organization. My group was asked to help with a existing idea they had known as October for Orphans. I was tasked with the design of a brochure that would be handed out as part of a fundraiser that described OSSOs to help children with less than adequate care. I formulated the message and created the logo and layout of the brochure. After many critiques and suggestions from my group mates I came up with this final design. The idea was to create something that would hopefully remind people that it doesnt take much effort on their part to begin helping those who are truly in need.

Imaging

Description:This a Photo design project that I did for my Visual media class. We were asked to take a proper photo incorporating the principals of focus, composition, and lighting into taking a quality image.

Date:May 23, 2015

Course/Instructor:COMM 130Mr. Ben Pingel

Programs/Tools:Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:This is a photo design project that I did for my Visual media class. We were asked to take a proper photo incorporating the principals of focus, composition, and lighting into taking a quality image.

Process:I first took the picture using a simple 14.1 megapixel point and shoot camera. Using Photoshop I was able to edit the image and bring greater clarity to the shot. Changing saturation and vibrance of the colors, sharpening the needed fine lines, and resizing it to a workable size. Then, still using photoshop, I was able to create the design above picking a split complimentary color scheme for the design. The photo fit well within the color scheme.

Logos

Description:Various versions of a logo created based on my own name.

Date:June 6, 2015

Course/Instructor:COMM 130Mr. Ben Pingel

Programs/Tools:Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:Learn to create logos using vector graphics in Illustrator

Process:Creating logos was really quite a change from everything else we have done. Illustrator was by far the bigger part of that different feel. First I decided that I was going to just use my own name as the basis for my logo since I already knew who I was and I knew how to represent myself. I did a few different styles of logos and then got a feel from other people which of them felt was the most appealing and professional. So after deciding to follow their advice I made the three variations of that logo you see above. Along with a few changes to the original design.

Programs/Tools:Adobe InDesign

Objectives:Learn to use Adobe InDesignOrganize elements properly to give correct flow and value to each elementLearn how to properly contrast fonts.

Process:First I sketched out some of my ideas for this flier. Then using Adobe InDesign I began to put my ideas together. I went with a mostly black design to make it contrast a bit more in an attempt to draw attention. I used white and black boxes and frames to create repetition and flow. I emphasized one word in the title to create a focal point. I was given the image and all of the content of this flier. My assignment was merely to organize what I was given.

I also created another flier that could be used for fundraising at anytime of the year, not just during the month of October.
