Program/Tools: Photoshop, masks, brush tools, lasso tool, opacity

Objectives: Learn Photoshop skills such as layers, masks, blending

and filters.

Process: This project was created using a layer mask to blend

images, making sure there were no hard edges. I used

masks, the brush tool, lasso tool, changed the opacity

in several areas using the brush tool and changed the

opacity and the fill on the text. I used complementary

colors to create contrast. I also created contrast with the

colors of the earth. I used Christ’s face as a focal point. In

my font, I used different sizes and italic vs regular to also

create contrast. The text is also aligned all to the left and

then again to to the tip of the earth.

Objective:

Learn to create a flier, use InDesign, and use negative

space.

Process:

This project started out by sketching designs and created

in Adobe InDesign. I used negative space to create con-

trast with the dark black diamonds. I also used repetition

with my diamonds in order to create unity. In my title I

used white on black to emphasize the word graduate and

used gray for leadership conference. I wanted that to be

the focal point. In order to really emphasize the graduat-

ing part I added a tassel to my diamond to make it look

like a graduation cap. I left aligned everything and then

on the title and time, date, place I used tracking to line

them up. I also used alignment with almost everything.
