Fair held by the Humane Society

typeface(s) that work for your message and audience. Learn

those colors, then incorporate the colors into the layout.Use
a digital camera to take a quality image, then download it.
Adjust image levels, saturation, color balance, sharpen tool

sound waves.

Use the new logo to design consistent layouts for a business
card. Apply typography rules.
Keep designs simple with plenty of white space.
Include contact information: name, address, phone, website,

Process: I used Ilustrator to create the logos and wanted to
have a lot of contrast between the text on the card and the
background, so I inserted them both in opposite colors.

Logos

Piano House
Programs: Adobe Illustrator
Date: February 28th, 2016

Objectives: Create three completely different, original logos to
fit a company or personal image that will appeal to the
audience. Refine one logo with variations for color
Process: I first drew a piano with the pen tool and created
the base of the logo. I used a capital letter A for the roof and
shaped the piano to compliment it. Lastly I added Alyssas
Piano House across the bottom.

by a business named Art Works. All proceeds go to a chairty
of choice as explained in the brochure.
Programs: Adobe InDesign

Instructor: Joel Judkins
Objectives: Set up and align a two-sided, folded document.
Create an original, new logo and use it in a brochure. Trim for
a full bleed and print in duplex (two-sided) color.
Process: I used Adobe Illustrator to create the simple logo on
the back. I then used Adobe InDesign to create the Brochure.
I had to plan everything out before I started working in InDesign to make sure I had the right set up. After the many drafts
I inserted the images, lowered the opacity, and added the
text.

Montage
Project 9

Description: This is a montage of two different mirror images,

trying to symbolize self-worth.
Programs: Adobe Photoshop
Date: April 1st, 2016
Course & Section: Comm 130 Section 6
Instructor: Joel Judkins
Objectives: Unify a layout with a consistent theme and dominant spiritual message. Learn to blend two or more images
together gradually, using masks. Demonstrate more advanced
Photoshop skills for layout with multiple elements. Use a mask
to apply a filter to one part of the image. Apply typography
principles
Process: I used photoshop masks to insert the image on the
left over the original mirrored image. I used a black and white
filter on the left as well as a graffiti background to create a
more distressed feel on that side of the mirror.
