Brochure

Description: A brochure detailing the history of and how to make a paper crane.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I began the process by creating a pencilled
mockup of how I wanted to arrange my layout that I was able to fold, manipulate,
and reference as I created the product in InDesign. Then, I created a logo in Adobe
Illustrator, and designed some icons to accompany the instructions using a flat design
technique. I wrote up the body copy and inserted it into the brochure. I learned how
to use paragraph styling to adjust the type across the document, instead of having
to go into each text box to change it. In Photoshop, I edited three of the photos so
I could match the color scheme better, and on the two images with cranes, removed
the background. I used the text wrap tool around my front cover image of the folded
crane. Finally, I used the line tool to create the dotted lines on the cutout panel that
can be used to create your own paper crane. After critiques, I made sure to adjust the
tones of the actual colors, as well as the alignment of the text and the placement to
enhance legibility and white space.
Message: Learn how to make a paper crane, and make your own!
Audience: Teenagers or young adults interested in making a paper crane.
Top Thing Learned: Printing double sided in color is very expensive, so you have
to be very careful and meticulous before you print. I also learned about how to use
paragraph stylingand that saved my life!

Description: Letterhead & Business Card (front & back) for Vintage Citrus Cosmetics
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): The first thing I did after coming up with the
concept of Vintage Citrus Cosmetics was to design the logo I wanted. I used the
pen tool in Illustrator to trace part of my own orange design from a vintage orange
crate label I found online. (See below for the original image.) After that, I chose a
color scheme that would enhance my message, and chose fonts that I felt would be
appropriate and further my brand. I then created the icon in a separate Illustrator file
so that I could more easily manipulate it in the InDesign file I had created to make the
letterhead and business card on. For the business card, I chose to make the icon larger
than the card, to produce a more modern, dramatic effect, and add visual interest. I
created a QR code that includes a coupon for the person who uses it, and added that
to the design, making sure that it didnt interefere with any other piece of the design.
Finally, I went through and adjusted the layout of the letterhead to provide the best
balance, and lots of white space in a way that wasnt distracting.
Message: Buy Vintage Citrus Cosmetics! Classic scents for the modern woman.
Audience: Women who want to buy or sell cosmetics
Top Things Learned: Make sure to have everything saved correctly before you leave
an unfinished product; otherwise, you will be very sad and have to re-do your entire
design because you forgot to save the actual file. Also, make sure you stick to your
routine! Ive developed a routine by now, and its been working well, but I wasnt able
to stick to it this week, and that made it a lot harder to complete on the schedule I
wanted.

Web Page

Description: A webpage showcasing my logo and explaining the design process.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): First, I decided how I wanted my design to look.
Then, I went through the color picker tool in Photoshop and figured out different
colors, and plugged them into the CSS template I used from a class activity. Then, I did
some research to figure out how to center-align my logo, to provide white space and
bring it into focus. After critiques, I wrote my body copy and entered it into the space
provided by the html I hand-coded. Finally, I took advantage of the lab assistants,
and figured out how to code the borders to change their shape from a rectangle with
rounded corners to the half-circle over top a sharp rectangle.
Message: The design process for my logo.
Audience: Potential employers or graphic design students; for the logo, women who
want to buy classy modern makeup.
Top Thing Learned: Coding is super picky. If you mess up even a single letter, you
will be frustrated trying to find your mistake.
Color scheme and color hex(s): Monochromatic; Violet. #b06ead #7a2776

Copy Font Families & Category: Bookman Old Style, Old Style
Changes made to the CSS: I changed the background color. In the body section,
I changed the font, the border color, and the border radius. I added a section to
help create the half-circle behind the header, changed the fonts and color of all the
headings, and changed the font size of the headings. I added a Position: relative code
to the H1 heading to help with alignment. Finally, I adjusted the css on the image and
added commands to make it centered on the page properly.

Montage

Description: An image of a stone staircase ascending into space, with a quote

by Martin Luther King Jr.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing): I used Adobe
Photoshop to design this image. I added the staircase and the nebula images
on separate layers, and created a mask on the nebula layer so the stone
staircase could be seen underneath. I then added a black and white effect to the
stone staircase, which helped to simplify it. I also added the quote by Dr. King.
After my first critique, I adjusted the fonts and sizes of the text, and added
a tilt-shift blur to most of the staircase to fulfill the requirement of a filter
on the image. After my second critique (and some suggestions from the Lab
Assistant), I adjusted the size of some of the text.
Message: Faith is taking the first step when you cant see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Audience: People looking for a spiritual message.
Top Thing Learned: The littlest details can make the biggest difference with
making your project look good.
Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I used a black-and-white
effect on the staircase, and added a tilt-shift blur filter to focus on the bottom
steps. I found that the tilt-shift blur really helped to emphasize the message
from the quote about not seeing the whole staircase, since the blur and the
blending combined help the staircase to gradually disappear.
Color scheme and color names: Complimentary, Red/Green

Photodesign

Description: A poster with a quote about love by Mother Teresa

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I had to scrap my initial
sketches after discovering that the bush outside my house had little blue
berries on it. I chose a close-up shot I took with the macro focus setting on my
camera to be the focus of my project, and found the quote by Mother Teresa
to be really fitting. In Photoshop, I edited the image to make the colors more
vibrant and to bring focus to the berries. I chose the Lobster font to be an
accent to my message, highlighting the words Love, fruit, and every hand
from the quote, and Univers 47 Condensed Light as the body to contrast
against the thick script. I then added stripes to the image by creating identical
rectangles and spacing them evenly apart, before grouping the layers, coloring
them to fit the color scheme, and stretching it to span past the bottom of the
image. After critiques, I made sure to adjust the alignment, color scheme, and
sizing to better fit my message and enhance the design. Ive been making an
effort to produce a better design before I go to critiques, and I think that has
been really helpful because I havent needed to make dramatic changes to my
projects the way I have in the past.
Message: Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every
hand Mother Teresa
Audience: College students
Top Thing Learned: I learned that if something (even as dramatic as your
color scheme) isnt working, to try and find a new approach.
Color scheme and color names: Tetradic: Gold, Lime, Indigo, Violet

Event Ad

Description: A Color Flyer for a Bouquets for Brooklyn benefit featuring pink roses.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): First, I created a variety of sketches as I tried to
figure out a solid design. After coming up with a design I liked, I used a scanner in
the computer lab to get my picture. In Microsoft Word, I added the image, removed
the background to get a nicer edge, and adjusted the colors. I then chose to add the
image again at the bottom, but lighter and more transparent as to not take away from
the main flowers at the top. Then, I added my text to the design, taking care to align
nicely to keep white space. Finally, I added a QR code that should really work to the
bottom right corner just for fun. After critiques, I made sure everything was nicely
aligned and added a slight pink gradient to my white space to add to the color scheme
and add warmth.
Message: Come to the Bouquets for Brooklyn fundraiser, and help the Blackwell family
with their medical expenses by learning how to make a beautiful bouquet.
Audience: Primarily female, people who are interested in learning how to make
bouquets and helping Brooklyn Blackwell fight cancer.
Color scheme and color names: Monochromatic, Red (Pink)
Top Thing Learned: I learned how to create my own QR code! But in addition, I think
I learned how to conserve white space, since that was something I was trying to pay
attention to when I was designing.

Flier

Description:
Black and white flier advertising a graduate leadership conference.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):
Using the skills I have developed, I used Adobe InDesign to design my flier. After
sketching out several concepts, I switched from one design idea to another after
deciding that the concept could be better expressed in a different way. I decided to
make my design dynamic, and aligned everything on an angle, which I used repeatedly
for uniformity and legibility. I chose to use a portion of one of the provided images
that would reflect good composition within my flier. After several critiques, I ensured
more of my design was nicely aligned, and adjusted the body copy of the flier for
legibility.
Message:
Students who want to have the competitive edge in business should attend the
graduate leadership conference sponsored by Vouant Communications.
Audience:
Students about to graduate.
Top Thing Learned:
I really learned the value of a good critique with this project. I was only able to fix
some issues I had encountered with the flier when I had a fresh pair of eyes helping
me.

Logos

Description: A set of three logos for the fictional company Volta Electric
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills):
I used Adobe Illustrator and the pen tool to create vector images suitable
for logo use. For my middle logo, for example, I decided to remove the inner
circle from the O in Volta, and replaced it with a hand-drawn lightning
strike to enforce the message of electricity. In my final logo, I found a unique,
decorative font called Wire, and learned how to use the lasso tool to move
only certain points, as the font was entirely lowercase, and I wanted a captial
V. I then used the pen tool to design a wire and plug to extend from the A
and lead the eye to the word Electric. I chose to redesign my first logo for
my portfolio, and I feel that the current design is a real improvement over my
original.
Message: Use Volta Electricity to power your home.
Audience: Millenials and others who may have to pay for their own power.
Top Thing Learned: Dont procrastinate, and dont be afraid to completely reconfigure your designs if something isnt working.
