Brochure
Description: : Create a full-color, folding brochure to help promote the company product, service or location for a logo that you made. Date: 12-7-13 Course / Instructor: Comm 130 Julie Peterson Programs / Tools: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator Process: I first created my logo using Illustrator. I then wrote the necessary information. Creating the layout was the hardest part for me but I figured it out. I then added my pictures and created an appealing design for a clothing company.

Logos
Description: Create a visually appealing logo using Illustrator. Date: 11/2/13 Course / Instructor: Comm 130 Julie Peterson Programs / Tools: Adobe Illustrator Process: I decided to make myself a logo using only black and white because it creates nice contrast. I sketched a couple of ideas down on paper and then proceeded to interpret those sketches into Illustrator. Using the pen and text tools I created my logos. While designing I found that I really appreciate symmetrical designs. I also reversed the colors on all of my designs to see which I liked better. I couldnt decide on the middle logo which I liked best so I included both. I then decided on a font that went well with my designs and put that font with each of my logos.

Programs / Tools: Microsoft Word Process:

I started this project by scanning an image from a magazine and then created a sketch of what I wanted my flier to look like. Using that sketch I created a draft using Microsoft Word. After a critique with my classmates, I went back and made some necessary adjustments. This included adding more contrast using color and made better use of alignment.

First, I made some sketches of what I wanted the flier to look like. I was given the logo and content to create this flier and then using my sketches I created a draft in InDesign.

Camera I used a DSLR camera to take pictures around campus and my apartment to figure out how the camera works. After I had taken a fair amount of pictures I returned to the Library to upload my favorite picture into photoshop and to begin editing. First, I cropped my image to the appropriate size. Then, I added the fresco filter to the fish and used the healing tool to touch up some dry water marks on the tank. I also desaturated the fish to make it darker than the rest of the picture.
