Objectives:

Create a two sided folded document which includes a text wrap, four

Process:

I decided that I wanted to do something with Routt National Forest. I

hiked Zirkel Circle last year and loved the nature and fresh Colorado
air. I wanted to create something similar for those that may be visiting
steamboat springs! I then decided Id make a menu for a
restaurant and call it Routt County Z. Zirkel Wilderness is located in
Routt County National Forest. I liked the accordion fold so I decided
to stick with the basics. I wanted to incorporate the mountains in the
menu and give it a free, fresh feeling. I then came up with the menu

Objectives:

Scan a high resolution image and use it to

create a full bleed Event Ad.

Process:

I took a photo online that I thought showed a lot of accomplishment,

had it professionally printed, and re-scanned it into the computer. I
wanted to base my theme around Climbing for a cause. I liked the
simplicity look. I used the quote We rise by lifting others as a way
to show that the money which would be raised for this event would go
towards Honduras. I like the black and white theme. I used the line tool
a lot of alignment as well as the ruler tool. I also used the outline of
squares to highlight the most important part of the Ad.

Objectives:

Aquire a basic knowledge of CSS and HTML

Process:

I figured out after my research that I wanted to reach out to those that
thrive for adventures. So I created a logo called Clymb. This website
as made as a website for those looking to rock climb. I wanted to incorporate the mountains and earthy tones because I thought that went
well with the logo and theme I had designed. I am a pretty simple
person in design, and was going to do just black for my logo but then I
found a nice color scheme that I think really spoke to me. I created the
mountain with the pen tool. I then created a circle with no outline and
used the Type alone path tool to create my title.

Objectives:
Create a unique logo in color, grayscale, and black and white.

Process:

I did a little research on Behance and Pinterest to figure out my audience. Recently Ive gotten into rock climbing and the outdoors so I
chose climbers. I am a pretty simple person in design, and was going
to do just black for my logo but then I found a nice color scheme that
I think really spoke to me. I liked the earthy sky tones I used for my
logo. I spelled climb, Clymb and chose to use that as my logo along
with a mountain. I created the mountain with the pen tool. I then
created a circle with no outline and used the Type alone path tool to
create my title.
