basic edits, plus crop and size the image on a page. Above is a 8.511 page with the

Process:
This image was taken and re-sized to fit the 66 criteria. I used Photoshop to make all
the edits including partially desaturating the bark and some of the leaves. I also increasedthe contrast to make the colors of bright leaves stronger and increased their saturation toenhance them further. I also applied the texturizer filter to make the image more interesting.

COMM130 Visual Media--Julie Peterson, Section 5
Description:I was in charge of creating a new and fresh inspirational poster using a composite of images
and type. A photo montage involves the blending of two or more images with text. I created an
inspirational montage by using a layer mask to blend images. These images were found online
and put together using Photoshop.
Process:
These images were found online and put together in a Photoshop document. In Photoshop,
I used a mask to lower the opacity of the girl and blend the two images. I also used the
texturizer filter on the girl to bring in some noise and contrast without losing the color in theimage. I then added the text and gave the title text a slight outer glow and drop shadow to
bring it out even more.
objectives:

Youwill create an inspirational montage by using a layer mask to blend images. You may use yourown photos or gather some from the internet.

BrochureDate:December 7, 2013
Programs/Tools Used:
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign
course:
COMM130 Visual Media--Julie Peterson, Section 5
Description:I was asked to create a brochure to help promote a company product. This was to use at
least four images and a logo previously designed for the company.
Process:
I created this project in InDesign. I first set the measurements as they are appropriate for abrochure and then designed accordingly. I used Photoshop to crop the image of the motherand child, then put a mask over the rest of the image to make it transparent. I used basicdesign principles such as alignment and repetition to tie the brochure together. I took the
colors from the logo and used them throughout the brochure, so the logo would look like itbelonged.
objectives:
Your employer wants you to design a full-color, folding brochure to help promote the companyproduct, service or location. You may use any folding brochure design you want. Brochurescome in all sizes and shapes. Any duplex (two-sided) folding document can be considereda brochure. Therefore the size parameters for this project are wide open. The purpose ofyour brochure may be informational or advertising. You may choose any topic, from newskateboard styles, to the latest spor ts car, to a family newsletter. Make this something you
enjoy. You should use all three programs you have learned to create your brochure as youdesign your logo in Illustrator, edit your images in Photoshop, and design your brochure layoutin InDesign, as it is the only program that allows you to create a multiple page document.

LogosDate:November 1, 2013
Programs/Tools Used:
Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign
course:
COMM130 Visual Media--Julie Peterson, Section 5
Description:I was asked to design three different logos for a company that would best communicate
their brand using Adobe Illustrator. Each logo is an original design.
Process:
After choosing a company to represent, I used the Illustrator text, shape, brush and line tools
to create three distinct logos to represent the brand. It was crucial to remember the order of
the objects, so each is in its right place.
objectives:A company/individual approaches you and asks you to design their logo. They leave it up to
you to do some research for insight on what type of logo would best communicate their brand.
They ask you to design three, completely different, variations for their consideration.
We are surrounded by logos, each sending its own unique message about the company it
represents. When designing a logo for a company, be sure to consider the audience and
create something that fits the personality of the group it will represent. Furthermore, a
logo should be unique and easily remembered. You should also create a variety of choices,
then gather opinions to see what appeals to others. Be sure to read the assigned pages
and follow the instruction guide closely as you create your logos.

COMM130 Visual Media--Julie Peterson, Section 5
Description:The company I have been requested a web page of one of the logos with a description of
the design process that demonstrates basic HTML and CSS skills.
Process:
For this project, I used text wrangler to format the HTML and create the text for the web page.
I included a 253 word description of my logo and what went into making and designing it. I
then used CSS to create the color and look of my web page. I matched colors using photoshop
and also used photoshop to resize my logo created previously for the stationery and business
card. I feel this page employs contrast very nicely between the black and white accentsthroughout the design.
