MontageDescription:This Project was meant to teach students how to blend photos within a montage.

Date:2/15/2013

Course:Comm130, Instructor: Caryn Esplin.

Programs used:Adobe Photoshop, Google Chrome

Objectives:Gain experience in Photoshop with the masking tool, layer blending, and the typ1e tool

ProcessI selected the quote, then the images, starting with the background. Once I knew I

needed a dragon picture, I searched out and collected that. I placed the background, and

masked a lter on top of it, then removed the bottom portion of the lter. Then I placed

the two faces overlapping each other, and masked them. After that was done I placed

the sword, and masked it and blended everything. Once all that was done I placed the

text, and fought the battle of making the color of the text work against a light, and dark,

background. It was my hope to convey the meaning of the human inside the beast both

being the same being. I also hoped the sword would give emphasis to the line in the quote

dragons can be beaten.

FlierDescription:This Project was meant to teach the basics of design, on a black and whitecomposition.Date:1/26/2013


Programs used:Adobe InDesign

Objectives:Learn how to create a Wordpress blog, learn the principle of if you dont know why,

then dont, learn about the nature of gradients.

ProcessI created some sketches of my layout, and used them to decide how to proceed with

my design. I misread the due dates on the assignment, so I didnt get the opportunity

to get feedback from the class. But I utilized a few TAs and they gave some great

feedback on padding, and white space. I tried to make everything in this composition

matter to the viewer, with three focal points in case the viewer has only a few

seconds to decide whether they are interested.

LogosDescription:This Project was meant to teach the basics of logo design.Date:2/23/2013


Programs used:Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:Learn how to use the pen tool efciently, learn how to better incorporate type into

a design without overpowering the logo, learn how to utilize imagination with

a design.

ProcessI began with the generalized logo for the company, incorporating the different

points of this odd job contractor. The top logo wasnt difcult, but I wanted to

give the client a more specic focus for the logo. So I used the other two logos as

an exploration of type v.s. Illustration. I used the shape tools in order to create the

pen and the stack of papers. I also used the pen tools to alter the type in the middle

logo, just enough to be unique.

LetterheadDescription:This project was meant for us to learn how stationary is designed, and how itshould be.Date:3/2/2013


Programs used:Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign

Objectives:Learn how to properly link within InDesign, learn more about the compatibility

between Adobe products, learn more about the Ins and outs of InDesign.

ProcessI found an image of a bubble popping online, traced it and manipulated the

color with Adobe Illustrator. I then created a document in InDesign and added

the different elements I needed: Company title, personal information, logo, and

watermark. These elements are within both the letterhead and the business card.

The business car also has a tag-line on the reverse side. This tagline is designed to

force a question into the readers mind, and have them turn the card over thus

reading the front of the card, instead of just glancing.

BrochureDescription:This Project was a culmination of what was learned over the semesterDate:3/30/2013


Programs used:Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Bridge

Objectives:Learn how to handle printer malfunctions within adobe programs, learn more about

the power of InDesign, learn about text wrapping images.

ProcessI began making this brochure, by taking pictures in Rexburg that make people think

of Rexburg. During the selection of the photos, I wrote the content for the brochure.

Once the two were complete, I used InDesign to create the trifold brochure. It was

an odd experience, trying to make everything t that I needed to do so. But the

images and text turned out to t pretty well within the conning space of the trifold.

After I had competed that portion, there was still something missing, and I ended

up creating the bubbles image for the inside leaf. I feel as though the image adds aplayfulness to the brochure that it otherwise would not have.

Event AdDescription:This Project was to teach students how to design within Microsoft Word.Date:2/1/2013


Programs used:Microsoft Word

Objectives:Learn how to properly use a scanner, learn about the importance of Artistic license,

learn about the versatile nature of Microsoft Word.

ProcessI started out with the photo of the apples, and a really ugly white blob in the corner.

So, in order to not break the ow, I separated the photo into three pieces and set them

as outlines of the information instead of the centerpieces. I then used color blending

to remove all of the white from the background. After that I decided where I wanted

to ow of text to be; and Finally I placed the two drawn apples as bullet points of the

important information.

Programs used:Notepad++, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:Learn how to create an image trace with Adobe; learn how to incorporate HTML

and CSS together with aptness; learn about font choices between browsers.

ProcessI created the html document by using the example photo on the class website. I

added all the tags where I believed they should go, and the document turned out the

way I had hoped. As for the CSS, I used the template le given for the class, and

manipulated it to t with a wrapper tag around the body of the page. I then changed

most of the CSS properties to make the color and fonts what I needed them to be.
