Website
Description: This is a website for a fake club at
BYU-Idaho called the crochet crew.
Date Completed: November 22, 2014.
Course/Instructor: Comm 130
Bro. Judkins.
Programs/Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Word Wrangler, Html
and CSS programing.
Objective: The objective was to create my own website
that could be used to show an employee my ability to
design a website.
Process: The process that went into this website was first
inspired by the logo. I used Adobe Illustrator to create
the Logo. I used a basic css that was provided for me and
added many things to create the design to the website. I
also used and designed the Html for the content that is in
the web page.

Brochure

Description: A brochure for the Crochet Crew.

Date Completed: December 6, 2014.
Course/Instructor: Comm 130/ Bro. Judkins.
Programs/Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign
Objective: To create a brochure for the Crochet Crew to help
those who want to join the Crochet Crew can know what is in
store for them.
Process: First to create this brochure I had to get the folding
down. So I did the calculations of where I would want my folds
and I put rulers to where I would fold in InDesign. I then created
my logo in Illustrator. I then looked for a texture that would be
good for the backgroung and I found a good picture that displayed a good texture of a crochet pattern and I used that on the
inside of the brochure. I then added some curved lines to the
front and back of the
brochure. I then found some great pictures to go along with my
text. I used boxes around my text and added a transparency to
the white color so that the text is easy to read. Then I did some
aligning and thats the completed process.
Changes: This took about a half an hour I made the curved lines
on the edge match up. I also made sure that the Logo on the front
would be exactly in the
middle when folded.

The Holiday Season

The great thing about crocheting
and the Crochet Crew is that
we are starting right along the
holiday season.
With that in mind, these crocheting
projects are great for Do-it-Yourself

and fun way to show someone
special that you care.

Whats The Crochet Crew?

The Crochet Crew is a brand new club at

BYUIdaho. There are many exciting things that
the Crew is looking forward to, especially with this
holiday season. The Crochet Crew is designed to
help those who want to enhance their crocheting
skills or for new beginners. The Crochet Crew has
three wonderful instructors who have had years.
We are excited to start this club and help others
build their skills.

The things that we will be making this semester are very fun.
We will be having:

skills of crocheting.

What Do We Do?

The Crochet Crew has very skilled leaders who are ready
and willing to help anyone start the great pastime of
Crocheting or even help those who have been doing it for

Montage
Description: An inspirational montage with several
pictures.
Date Completed: Ocotber 25, 2014.
Course/Instructor: Comm 130/ Bro. Judkins.
Programs/Tools: Photoshop
Objective: To create an inspirational montage that had
several pictures in it.
Process: First what I did is I went to the October 2014
Ensign magazine for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I found some pictures that I liked and I
scanned them and had them emailed to me. Then I put
them all in Photoshop. After I did that I cropped my main
picture to the size that I wanted. Then I lassoed the two
different images from the other pictures and I placed them
over my main picture. I then blurred the RS symbol and
the picture of the girls sewing to make it blend that they
were apart of the Relief Society and that they were helping
each other. Then I wrote the text and used another blending tool so that it could be easier to read.

Event Ad
Description: An event ad for a possible run a thon.
Date Completed: October 11, 2014
Course/Instructor: Comm 130/ Bro. Judkins
Programs/Tools: Scanner, Photoshop, Microsoft Word.
Objective: To create an Event Ad to give information to
those who want to be apart of the Run to Plant event.
Process: The process was very interesting. I first found
the tree picture and scanned it to my computer. I then
put it in photoshop and cropped it. I then put the picture
in Word to make the rest of the design. I used boxes and
arrainged text to make it look presentable.
New Process: This process took about a half an hour. I
erased all the squares and made new ones with different
edges. I then added transpency to the shapes so that you
can see the tree in the background. I then made the tree
bigger. I also changed the title of the project.

added to them.

Programs/Tools: InDesign
Objective: To create a flier for the Graduate Leadership
Conference and to show good use of basic design skills in
InDesgin and a knowledge of typography.
Original Process: The process was all in InDesgin. I used
lots of elipses and rectangles to show some contrast. I
used
sertain skills to put the picture in the circle on the right. I
also used a line on the left and made it big to create some
more contrast.
New Process: This process took about an hour. I added
more squares to this design. I made sure that there were
stong lines and that nothing was centered. I used a
different picture as well. I also used some transparency
with some of the squares.
