Objectives
Use the FOCUS design process with strong focal point and
ow. Unify a layout with a consistent theme and dominant
spiritual message. Learn to blend two or more images together
gradually, using masks. Demonstrate more advanced Photoshop
skills for layout with multiple elements. Use a mask to apply a
lter to one part of the image.

Objectives
Create three completely different, original logos to t a
company or personal image that will appeal to the audience.
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.

Process
I was able to come up with an original design using Illustrator.
After sketching out 3 ideas on paper, I created them using the
pen in Illustrator. I then asked family and classmates to vote
on their favorite. I also realized I needed to read the directions,
instead of assuming I know what I am suppose to do. After
reading the project directions, I chose one logo, then created a
gray scale and white font with black background.

with a light green stroke. Once the logo was created, I started
a new InDesign project and placed the logo in my InDesign

I also used a green bar with white text for the name and title.

Objectives
Set up and align a two-sided, folded document. Create an
original, new logo and use it in a brochure. Incorporate quality
images. Incorporate at least four quality images, not including
the logo. One should be clipped in Photoshop and textwrapped in InDesign so the text follows the cutout shape of the
image.

Process
First, I created the logo in Adobe Illustrator. Next, I found the
images to use. Third, I created the brochure in Adobe InDesign.
I rst traced a shield on one side, then mirrored it to create the
other side. I copied the shield and made it smaller. Finally, I
added the various gray colors for contrast and text in the shield.
