Brochure
Description:
A two sided (duplex) folding brochure.

Date: 12/11/13 Course/Instructor:

Comm 130 Section 06 Julie Peterson

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign

Objectives: Process:

A two sided (duplex) folding travel brochure to fit a company advertising Hamburg, Germany as a significant tourist location. Applied Design principles and used basic tools of InDesign.

I set up by fold in Adobe InDesign and set the margins at .25 inches. I split my layout into two sections. I used cream and blue throughout my brochure to create repetition and flow. I decided to do a travel brochure on Hamburg, Germany because that is where I want to travel someday. On the front cover I made the title stand out and created contrast between Hamburg and Germany by making Hamburg a larger font and Germany stretched out and aligned with Hamburg. On my elephant image I used the quick selection tool in Photoshop to remove the background and then used the refine mask dialogue box to smooth out the edge. I then placed the image in InDesign where I used the text wrap option to wrap my text around the alpha channel of my image. I placed my logo that I had previously designed on the back and centered it with my photos.

Comm 130 Section 06 Julie Peterson

Program(s)/Tools: Objectives: Process:

Adobe Photoshop , Canon 100 Camera

My objective was to take a recent picture and to edit it in Photoshop, applying a suitable filter and using the quick selection tool on the background.

I took my photograph using my Canon 100 camera. I went to the BYU-I gardens just before sunset to take this photo. Then I brought it into Photoshop and cropped it to be 6 by 6 square. I then selected the background using quick selection tools and applied a rough pastels filter to the background and desaturated the background as well. The flower I left alone because it already looked bright and vibrant.

Montage
Description: Date:
10/26/13 A montage of three images blurred onto a background.

Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 06 Julie Peterson

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives: Process:

An inspirational montage containg three images blurred into the background to go along with the them of the quote used. Applied design principles and used basic tools of Photoshop.

First I looked online for a good background picture and then I opened it on Photoshop. I then looked for three more pictures that would go well with my theme of dreaming big. Then I brought the pictures onto Photoshop one by one and u sed the blur tool to make them blend into my background picture. I kept the rule of thirds principle by making the unicorn be in the lower right corner. I made the castle picture be a bit about the ground so that it looked like it was floating a bit to go along with my theme of dreams. I also purposefully picked a picture of a girl looking down so that it looked like she was dreaming the images shown below her. Then I put in the quote and also added in my filter called sprayed strokes to just the background.

Web Page
Description: Date: 11/23/13 Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 06 Julie Peterson This is a web page I designed to showcase a logo that I have made this semester.

Program(s)/Tools: Objectives: Process:

TextWrangler, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop

My objectives in making this web page was to showcase a logo that I have made this semester using basic HTML and CSS skills.

I created this web page using TextWrangler. It was fun to learn how to code a web page with HTML and CSS. After I marked up all of my content and inserted my image tag, I attached the demo CSS document to my HTML document. Then I used the colors from my logo as the colors for my web page by opening Photoshop and using the eyedropper tool. I changed my fonts to Calibri bold and Calibri normal. I also included some backup fonts in case the font I used wasnt web safe. I changed my float to left to make my text wrap around my logo to the right. I made sure that my paragraphs and lists didnt have any orphans in them as well by adding a few extra words.

Program(s)/Tools: Objectives: Process:

Adobe Illustrator and InDesign

My objectives in making this stationery was to create a Letterhead that could be used by a company using the basic tools in InDesign. First on Adobe Illustrator I brainstormed about which logo to use and created several different logos before I picked one that I liked. I picked the one of a camera and used the rectangle tool to make it look like a camera. In InDesign I created my letterhead stationery and made it have related elements from my business card. Next, I made sure the font and the logo were aligned and added a watermark of my wavy line design,with an opacity of 4%, on the bottom right hand corner. I also put a red line, the same color as from my line design, below the logo and contact information to make it look professional and aligned.

I picked the one of a camera and used the rectangle tool to make it look like a camera. Then I created the overall design for my business card and typed my contact information in it using a contrasting font to the logo font and brought it over to InDesign to format it. I made sure that it was above the mid point line and made the front and back cards aligned.

Logos
Description: Date: 11/02/13 Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 06 Julie Peterson Three variations of a logo for the same company, Noels Fine Jewelry.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator

Objectives: Process:

My objectives in making these three logos was to appeal to the company and to give them three variations to choose from.

First that I would make up a company name and what the store would sell and then I started brainstorming what the three kinds of logos should be. My fake companys name was Noels Fine Jewelry so I thought that it would look interesting if I replaced the O in Noels with a necklace. I made sure that the text was aligned as I finished the the first logo and put a box around it. For the next logo I thought it would be cool to have the words be white within a black circle. Next I put a fancy red stroke in the middle of the words with a paintbrush tool. For the last one I decided to do a trademark and made a necklace with the shape tool and the gem with the shape and direct selection tools. And then I put in the capital N to represent the stores name. Lastly, I also spent time making sure the beads on the necklace were aligned and centered on the string.

Program(s)/Tools: Objectives: Process:

Microsoft Word, Epson Scanner, PDF2JPG.net (PDF converter)

My objective in creating this event ad was to publicize a fundraiser using only the basic Microsoft Word design tools.

First I looked through several magazines to find an interesting picture that i wanted to use for my ad, then I scanned the image, then I made a rough draft of my ad on Microsoft Word, then for my final draft I decided to crop my image so that I could put the title on the top. I made the title box green and the word Wednesdays green also for repetition to go along with the green in the image.
