Brochure
Description:

A two sided (duplex) folding brochure.

Date:

Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 04
Jason Reeder

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign

Objectives:

Set up a two sided document in InDesign with proper alignment.

Wrap text around an image and know how to use paragraph styles
in InDesign.

Process:

First I created my design in Illustrator. I used a shark fin as

reference and decided to make that focal point of my logo design.
I think added some blur to the outer brush stroke to give it some
depth. I wanted to make my logo pop from the blue background of
my brochure so I mounted it on a light blue circle.
In Photoshop I used the selection tool to cut out my images. Since
I was doing a shark brochure I wanted to make it look like the
sharks were coming out of the page so I put them in the text to
give it that feel that the sharks were swimming.
In InDesign I laid out my design and used the rulers to guide my
design so that it would be evenly spaces. I then put everything
together and played around with color and fonts.

Objectives:

Choose a color scheme and take a photo to match the colors and
incorporate them into the layout. Use a digital camera to take a
high qulaity image, and be able to use the basic tools in Photoshop
enhance the image.

Process:

I first chose my color scheme, I knew I knew I wanted to do

something simple and fun so I chose a monochromatic color scheme
and my color is blue. Luckily I had friends with a camera and
was able to borrow it, I was able to take a picture of their daughter
playing on a climbing frame. I got her in focus and blurred the
background, a technique I learned earlier on in the week. I then took
the photo to PhotoShop and started editing it. I used eyedropper
and took a blue out of the original photo for my backbackground.

to mess around with the settings and figure out which worked best

Photoshop and altered the brightness and contrast of the image. I
also used the sharpening tool to clear up some of the rough areas
of the phot.

used the brush tool and mask tool to create the blending/fade
affect. I also used the lasso tool to crop out another lightning strike
and added it the the background image. I brightened my image
so that it was easier to see, I also used a grey overlay on my text to
make it blend with the overall look and feel of the project.
