Description: This is a brochure to help those on campus who strugglewith mental health. This offers advice and support for those who

wants more information on these matters.

everything else.

Date Completed: Saturday, March 26, 2016

Course: COMM 130

Objectives: Set up and align a two-sided, folded document.

Create an original, new logo and use it in a brochure.

Process: I started out by finding a background image I liked from a

website. I created the logo on the back in Photoshop. I searched and

and font color. I then wrote the descriptions of what this organiza-

tion was about in the paragraph sections. I added images last.

Montage

Description: A year ago one of my friends, Maddy, died. She was only 20

and was just out enjoying a pretty bike ride in Walla Walla, WA, when

we was hit by a car and pronounced dead several hours later. I made

this because she was a huge spiritual inspiration to me, and she loved

God fiercely. I gave it to her mom on the one-year anniversary.

Program: I used photoshop for this assignment.

Date Completed: February 13, 2016

Course: COMM 130

Objectives: Learn to blend two or more images together gradually, us-

ing masks. Demonstrate more advanced Photoshop skills for layout with

multiple elements. Use a mask to apply a filter to one part of the image.

Apply typography principles (titles, quotes, events or scriptures…your

choice)

Process: I used alot of masks. I got this original pictures from her face-

book, as well as the quote. I used about 5 different masks throughout

this project I believe. I chose a font that I thought looked dainty and

beautiful because that reflected maddy

a photo to match those colors, then incorporate the colors into the

and vibrance to enhance the photo a little. The picture was taken on

my Cannon Rebel T5. I chose the color scheme Tetradic because I feltmatched the colors in the picture.

best. From there, I designed my flier in indesign and made sure all of my im-

Description: I choose to create a logo for a bakery that would be spelled, “Doo-nuts” instead of doughnuts because the two donuts looked like “o’s”. This was a f

logo to create.

Program: Illustrator


Course: comm 130

Objectives: Create three completely different, original logos to fit a company or

personal image that will appeal to the audience. Do not imitate existing logos ouse previous designs.Market research: gather opinions from at least ten people

about which logo appeals most to them.Use only the Illustrator tools to create

and draw your logos. (No Illustrator pre-fabricated flares, symbols, etc.. No pho

tos or live-tracing. You may use an image or drawing as a guide to trace it with

the pen/pencil, but delete the image before submitting.)Refine one logo with varia

tions for color

Process: I used illustrator for this. I made one of the donuts and than just copi

and pasted the other one so I wouldn’t have to worry about sizing and the spri

kles being different. For the rest, I just used various tools to create the smile and

the tongue.

Description: made this webpage using the Photoshop, Illustrator, CSS

and HTML skills we have been using in class. I was provided with the basic

CCS and HTML but was then assigned to “make it my own. This was a diffi-

cult assignment because I have had zero experience with coding.

Course: COMM 130

Objectives: Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web page so

the long side is 300 – 500 pixels. Write content to describe the process of

creating your logo and how it appeals to a target audience. Acquire a

working knowledge of HTML. Identify hex colors to match logo, using

Photoshop color picker. Open the HTML page in a web browser and cap-

ture a quality screen shot.

Process: I originally used Illustrator to design my logo, and Photoshop

to resize it for the web. I then used an app called Text Wrangler to do all

of my coding.

Description: This semester I have been working on taking pictures and

editing them. Although I can use photoshop, I prefer to use Lightroom.

These are a selection of some of my favorite pictures I have taken or ed-

ited this semester.

Program: Lightroom

Date Completed: January-March of 2016

Objectives: When taking these pictures, I just wanted to gain more expe-

rience. I used my boyfriends family for some family pictures and a friend

who was going on her mission for the other. I really am happy with the

skills I feel I acquired while editing these photos, mainly when it came

to lighting and correcting acne and whitening teeth.

Process: I used all of the basic lighting edits as well as shadows, high-

lights, saturation, and contrast. I also used the blemish corrector and

teeth whitening as well as face brightener.

in a half hour. it is an add for ford. I was surprisingly happy

with how it turned out given the little time I had.

Program: indesign

Date Completed: April 1, 2016

Objectives: I was instructed to make an ad for ford. I was to

find an image of a car, include text that was given to me, and

add the ford logo.

Process: I googled high resolution mustang pictures and se-

lected the one I liked the most. then, I found the ford logo and

placed in on the car picture, making sure to remove the orig-

inal white background so only the logo was showing. I than

found the font ford uses, and downloaded it. I than typed the

required text, and saved my file as a jpeg.

added all of the text boxes and made them somewhat trans-

parent. After this i inserted her text and her logo for the chil-

dren’s church.
