Description: I used the Freeskier Photo Annual magazine issued Janu-

ary 2014 to find the picture I wanted to scan. I then found a picture that

already had a lot of very good shapes that I could work with to create my

design.

Cory Kerr

Program(s)/Tools:

Canon MP 620 series scanner

Microsoft Publisher

Objectives:

Comprehend image sizing

Find, scan and import a high-quality image.Create a full-bleed design.

Choose a color scheme and typeface(s) that work for your message and

audience.

Learn to use only Word design features without using any Adobe pro-

grams, including Photoshop.

Process:

I used a Canon MP 620 series scanner to scan the image I found in the

skiing magazine. I then copied the image into Microsoft Publisher to get

started on my project. I loved the image that I found because it alreadyhad so much going on in the picture. I wanted to make this flier a simpler

one. I used the same font for the body text and title; however, I bolded

the title so it stood out and gave more contrast to the other text. After, I

change my original big title to a smaller one. I did this to grab the atten-

tion of the audience. I aligned both the body text and title with the skier.

Cory Kerr

Program(s)/Tools:

Canon camera

Photoshop

Objectives:

Learn basic photography skills.

Choose a color scheme, take a photo to match those colors,

then incorporate the colors into the layout.

Size and crop the image, then place on an 8.511 page layout.

Use layers to design text, and repeating graphic elements in Photoshop.

Print with full-bleed margins.

Process:

I used a Canon camera to take my photos. I then uploaded the image I

wanted to use for the flier in Photoshop. I first edited the photo. I then

added my design with it. I used the Focus process to figure out my color

scheme. A monochromatic color scheme is what I used for the swirls next

to the black and white ballerina. I wanted it to make a fluid motion so Imoved around the rectangles using the pen tool in Photoshop.

Learn to blend two or more images together gradually, using masks

Use a mask to apply a filter to one part of the imageApply typography principles

Process:

I used photoshop to blend two pictures together. I started with the

mountains, and then I placed the girl where I wanted her to show up. I

then used a mask on both pictures to get the images to look like how I

wanted them too. Then I added the qoute. I changed the typography in

the qoute to put emphasis on some of the words.

Program(s)/Tools:

Illustrator

Objectives:

Create three completely different, original logos to fit a company or per-

sonal image that will appeal to the audience.Use only the Illustrator tools to create and draw your logos.

Gather opinions from at least ten people about which logo appeals most

to them.

Process:

I first started off with a lot of different mountain sketches to get started.

I then used Pinterest to try and find more ideas. Once I had my logos I

wanted to make, I used Illustrator to create the logos I wanted. I used co-

lourlovers.com to find color schemes I liked. I used those schemes to add

color to my designs. I used the pen tool and the shape tool a lot in this

project. I tried to stick to simple shapes so they were easy to see.

Description: This is the brochure I made for my eighth project. It is based

off of a company that I made up for this project. I made a new logo for

Program(s)/Tools:

Illustrator

Photoshop

InDesign

Objectives:Set up and align a two-sided, folded document.

Create an original company logo and use it in a brochure.

Incorporate quality images. (Incorporate at least four quality images

(Not including the logo). One should be clipped in Photoshop and text-

wrapped in InDesign so the text follows the cutout shape of the image.

Write at least 250 words of original copy with at least three paragraphs,

headers, and subheaders.

Trim for a full bleed and print in duplex (two-sided) color.

Process:

I used Illustrator to create my logo. Then I used Indesign to put together

my brochure. I wanted to do the trifold basic design, so I used the lines inIndesign to make a map of what I wanted it to look like. I used Photoshop

to cut pictures the way I wanted them. For example, I used the lasso tool

to cut the sunflower to make a single shape. I then used the Focus Pro-

cess to determine my color scheme.

Description:

When designing this logo, I thought a lot about the word my company

is using, Adeona. This is the Greek goddess for traveling. At first I wanted

to make the logo of the goddess, but I couldnt make it simple enough

to work with. Since my company is a backpacking company I decided to

play around with trees and mountains as my logo designs. I really loved

how the mountain logos I made turned out. I continued to work with the

simple shapes of a mountain, and ended up with the logo I have now. I

wanted to also give the design something extra, so I decided to make

contrasting shadows in the logo. I found that the simpler the design the

better it looked.

Textwrangler

Objectives:Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web page so

the long side is 300 500 pixels.

Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and how it

appeals to a target audience. (Minimum of 200 words. Include rationale

for colors, appeal to target audience, design skills, etc,)Design a web page using HTML to display the logo and content. (Use

TextWrangler (Macintosh) or NotePad++ (Windows))

Process: I used Illustrator to create the logo. I used the rectangle tool to

make squares. I then rotated them to make even diamonds in the design.

I filled them, and then proceeded to use the pen tool to fill the other side

of the diamonds.

Description:For my project I used the grey scale for the overall scheme.

I used a series of shapes across my design. I used these shapes to move

the eye across the design by hierarchy. I then used white bars on the top

and bottom to add to my alignments.

InDesign

Objectives: Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography.

Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier layout.

Retrieve image and logo from links on this page.Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesign document to keep

links in InDesign intact.

Process: Starting this project I used the Visual FOCUS principles to get an

idea of what my message was, how I wanted to use my shape, and what

audience I wanted to target. I then followed this process by sketching my

ideas. After I had my ideas down on paper, I started working on InDesign

with my favorite design. I used different methods of contrasting and

aligning to get my finished copy. I finally used wordpress.com to post my

final project.

Program(s)/Tools:

Illustrator

Objectives: Use the basic tools in Illustrator & InDesign.

Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image.

Use the new logo to design consistent layouts for a business card and

letterhead.

Apply typography rules, keeping small copy.

Process: For this project I used mostly Illustrator because I found that it

was the easiest for me to use and create the things I wanted to create. I

first started off with the idea for my company. I found that I really liked

the idea of a caf that is eco-friendly. I came up with the logo g.f.l. that

stands for the title of my caf Green for Life. I then made the logo abbre-

viations also look like the word caf. I used the pen tool mostly to create

the logo, and the leaves I made in the background. I kept with a basic

type font so that it was easily read.

it was easily read. Then I turned down the opacity for the leaf.
