Business CardDescription:A business card made with a personally created logo and design.

Date:03.01.15

Course/Instuctor: Comm 130 Section 01

Corry Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Adobe InDesign & Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:Create a new logo to represent a business/company. Design an appealing layout to reach target audience. Showcase skills gained in Illustrator and InDesign.

Process:I first used Adobe Illustrator to create my logo. I started by using the ellipse tool and created two petal shapes. I then added a gradient mesh and I colored the points how they looked most appealing. The two petals had different gradients so that it would look more natural. Next, I copied each petal several times and then arranged them into a flower shape. The center of the flower was much harder for me to create. I tried using the gradient mesh but it didn’t look how I wanted so I created a big circle and then several little ones with the ellipse tool and then added a different type of gradient to create a 3D look.

Lastly, I combined everything I created into Adobe InDesign so that I could organize the business cards and add text to them. I also added a few images from the web for the social media icons on the business card front.

Corry Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:Create three varying logos for one company.Use Adobe Illustrator tools to create the logos.

Process:I’ve enjoyed designing these logos in Adobe Illustrator. I used the ellipse tool to create the the roundness of the donuts and then pen tool to add the sprinkles to the top of the donuts. I was careful to pick out my color schemes because I didn’t want them to overpower the overall design and message of the logos. I was going for simplistic and chic. Next I searched for fonts that would best fit the company that the logo was created for and made different variations of the company’s name.

Objectives:To design a logo for a company in Adobe Illustrator.Create stationery in Adobe InDesign with previosly designed logo.

Process:I first used Adobe Illustrator to create my logo. I started by using the ellipse tool and created two petal shapes. I then added a gradient mesh and I colored the points how they looked most appealing. The two petals had different gradients so that it would look more natu-ral. Next, I copied each petal several times and then arranged them into a flower shape. The center of the flower was much harder for me to create. I tried using the gradient mesh but it didn’t look how I wanted so I created a big circle and then several little ones with the ellipse tool and then added a different type of gradient.Then I used Adobe Photoshop to create a watermark of my logo for the stationery using the blur and masking tools inside Photoshop.

Lastly, I combined everything I created into Adobe InDesign.

ImagingDescription:Showcase good photography and editing skills while working with a

color scheme already in a photograph.

Date:02.08.15


Corry Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:Capture a well composed photograph.Edit it using Adobe Photoshop.

Process:I first chose a color scheme to work with and then set out to photo-graph it. Luckily I was able to find a good example of it in nature so, I used a Canon Powershot SX40 HS to capture my image. I then used photoshop to complete specific editing techniques: levels, sharpness, saturation, and color balance. After I did that, I composed an 8.5 x 11 layout of my image and added text. I then created a bor-der and colored it using a color in my color scheme. Lastly, I insert-ed boxes filled with the colors in my color scheme and named what color scheme I used.

MontageDescription:A spiritual montage made by using two images and typography.

Date:02.14.15


Corry Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Adobe Photoshop

Objectives: Combine images in Adobe Photoshop using a mask.Add a spiritual saying/element.

Process:I found two images that represented the message I wanted to convey. I set up my file size to be 8.5 x 11 and then uploaded my two images in the order I wanted them.Next I used a feathered crop tool to cut out what I wanted my top image to be.Then clicked the masking button and set my brush opacity to 23% and went to work blending my images together.I added text and then overlayed the image so that the words would blend with the background.

Event AdDescription:Full – bleed event ad to raise money

Date:02.01.15


Corry Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Microsoft WordCanon Scanner

Objectives: Create a full-bleed event ad using only Microsoft Word and a scanner.

Process:I scanned an image and then inserted it into Microsoft Word. I then used the shape tool to place a large rectangle as my background and reordered the images so that the picture of macaroons was on top. Next I filled in my background rectangle so that it was violet, then I used the transparency tool in order to lighten the color. I used an option in the format section to change my image into an oval with a white border. Next I aligned my title with my image and then added more shapes in a violet shade. Lastly I added text and made sure the font was a good contrast against the title font.

Description:Single fold, double sided (duplexed) brochure to promote

nature conservation.

Date:03.29.15


Corry Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Adobe Illustrator & Adobe InDesign

Objectives: Create an original logo.Design a brochure layour in InDesign.

Process:First I created my logo in Adobe Illustrator. I wanted something simple and representative of nature so I created my own ‘N’ and added leaves to it. I also created the design break after and before the paragraphs in Illustrator. Then I went into Adobe InDesign and set up my rulers and margins so I would know where to fold and place things correctly. After I did that I found what images I wanted to use and added them into my brochure. When I had compiled all the images and information I wanted into my brochure I printed it to see if I had any errors – I did. I went to work to fix them – moving my images and text around and adding things until it looked right. I printed it again, cut it, and folded it until it was right.

BrochureNature doesn’t rely on humans to exist;

but what would humans do without

nature? Would it be possible to even

exist without nature? What would we

drink? What would we breathe? As

humans we depend on nature to exist

and to live. There are so many people

on this earth today and the number is

only growing. How is this earth

supposed to accommodate them if we

are destroying it daily with our actions

(or the lack thereof)? We need to take

action and do what we is in our control.

NATURE IS SPEAKING

geared towards graduate students.

Corry Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Adobe InDesign

Objectives: Create a flier to be distributed to graduate students using Adobe InDesign.

Process:I started by creating sketches to brainstorm ideas for layout design. After I settled on a sketch I liked I began creating it in Adobe InDesign. I focused a lot on the flow of the design, making sure that whoever viewed it would have no trouble following it or understanding the message. I created the title to be the focal point by using a gray scale gradient. Lastly I made sure that the negative space had an outlet and there was an appropriate amount. I was provided with the image, logo, and content.

Description:A web page to created to showcase a personally made logo.

Corry Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Notepad++

Objectives: Code a web page to include a personally made logo.

Process:I created this web page with Notepad++. Working html and css was not easy for me but it was definitely interesting. I found it fascinating to learn about all that goes into designing and creating a web page. I relied a lot on w3schools.com to make this web page.

I started off by creating and html document then adding css to it. I found a seamless image to use as my background and coded that in with it. Next I coded headings, paragraphs, and lists.
