Montage
Description:
Taking three pictures and combining them to look like one.
Date:
October 25, 2014
Course/Teacher:
COMM 130 Visual Media
Cory Kerr
Program(s)/Tools:
Photoshop
Objective:
To successfully master blending and masking on Photoshop.
Process:
I thought of three different things that went together. I first thought
of rain, which led to umbrellas, and then I thought of lightning. So I
searched for these things in three different photos that would work
together. I first blended the umbrella picture and the lightning for
the background. I then added a rain texture for all over the photo.
After I had completed blending the three pictures together I added a
quote that fit with the rain that I found on Pinterest.

Objective:
Be able make a creative business card that flows well with the
logo created.
Process:
I doodled a lot on scratch paper. I even used business cards I had
in my wallet from other companies as a starting design. I looked
on Pinterest for other ideas and continued doodling. Eventually
I settled on two different ideas and began to create the logo in
Illustrator. After I completed the giant pin logo I started working
in InDesign to make the business card.

Process:
After I had my business card created I took the same similar
outline to create a letterhead. I decided to keep the two red lines
and use them as the baseline for my header. I enlarged the pin I
created in illustrator and placed it into the Indesign letterhead that
I had to add an accent.

Program(s)/Tools:

Objective:
To use all the skills I have learned so far in my visual media class and
apply them to create a brochure.
Process:
I sketched out a bunch of different logos. Once I decided on one I
decided on which brochure layout I wanted. I drafted out where to
put things on my brochure. Then later I went in and added the content; opening paragraph, explanations, and games. I then searched
on Google for images that went with my design. After I had it all
worked out I had it critiqued. Once it was critiqued I deleted and
then added some more content.

Objective:
To be able to use word and still make the flier look professional.
Process:
First I found three different pictures out of magazines that I liked. I
scanned these pictures onto a jump drive. I then sketched out different
designs with the three pictures, picking the best one. I opened up word
and began to bring my sketch to life. I then had friends critique it so I
could edit it.

Objective:
To create three different logos that were creatively different.
Process:
I spent about three days just doodling different designs in my sketch
book. I even began to skim through Pinterest for ideas. I finally settled
on a couple designed and made them into one company. I opened up
Illustrator and began to create my designs. After I had three created I
had them critiqued so I could edit them to what you see now.

TextWrangler
Objective:
To be able to know enough basics about coding to create a simple
web design.
Process:
I took a logo I already had and loaded it into the html. I then
connected the html with the css that was already provided. I then
used my knowledge from in class to design what I thought would
look good and basic. I also Googled a lot of things that I didnt
know how to do. I messed with a lot of different things till I got the
result I wanted. I then had my web page critiqued, and went back
and edited it.

Program(s)/Tools:
Photoshop
Word
Objective:
Using word to create professional looking messages.
Process:
I checked out a camera, Canon SX40, from the school. I drove
around Rexburg taking photos. I uploaded my pictures onto my
computer and edited them in PhotoDesign. After picking the picture
I wanted to use, I began to sketch out ideas. I then brought one of
my sketches to life on PhotoDesign. I Googled a quote that dealt
with the wind and added it to my design.

Flier
Description:
A basic informational flier
Date:

Course/Teacher:
COMM 130 Visual Media
Cory Kerr
Program(s)/Tools:
InDesign
Objective:
Using word to create professional looking messages.
Process:
To begin the project I sketched out a bunch of different designs.
I then picked my favorite and began to bring my idea to life on
InDesign. I added a few things to my design as I was created it, like
the triangles for repetition. I organized the proximity of the words
so they all in the same area, rather than scattered about the flier. I
messed around with the sizing and contrast of the picture and the
leading of the words so that there would be enough white space. I
aligned all my paragraphs to the left side of the flier. I then bolded
a few words for emphasis.
