BrochureThis brochure was designed to present myseld, my art

portfolio and my skills.

For this brochure I used my sketchbook, Illustrator,

InDesign, and Photoshop to design and compile my

brochure all together.

The purpose of this brochure was to display my art

portfolio broadly to show my work and my skills

with a brief biography. I wanted it to be professional

like a resume but still creative and fun.

Business CardMy business card (front and back) for my personal

business called Shine On.

In this process to create my business card I drew up

some sketches to play with Shine On. some more.

I also looked at other business cards and logos. I

then decided to look up different fonts to use for

my logo. I wanted to match my drawing and have it

minimal. I went on to Adobe Illustrator to create and

organize my newly downloaded font and played with

colors that I thought would match the idea of shining

and light. I went into Adobe Illustrator to set up my

documents and guides so that I could line up the grid

with my business card and letterhead I had designedin Illustrator.

My business is about being professional and minimal

but still creative.

Photo MontageThis is a photo montage of a little bit of the Hmong

people and their culture.

I love minimalism and I liked that the theme was

to create something spiritual to some capacity.

This started with brainstorming ideas of the things

that mean most to me. In this I realized I wanted

something simple so I Google searched various

things about Hmong culture and people. Once I found

my images I went into Adobe Photoshop and played

with the opacity on the different images to see what I

liked and then compiled the images together and did

a lot of rearranging to make sure the images worked

and owed without being to distracting because theimages I chose have a lot of content. The further I

got into this I saw that this image was starting to take

form and look more like a poster or cover for Hmong

heritage. To create the look I got used multiple layers

to do my layer masking. I also created clipping masks

to make sure that my edges were more precise.

Charity Event FlierThis is a charity event ad for I created for the

American Heart Association. It is titled Heart Ball

for the black tie affair to help raise awareness and

raise money towards heart health and education to

communities.

For this project I scanned a few images I thought

would be sufcient and this was one of the images.

I looked up charities that meant something to me.

From doing some quick research it gave me an idea

of what kinda of style I should create. I took my

image I had scanned rotated it and cropped it in

Adobe Photoshop. I opened up Microsoft Word to

start laying out my image and information and movedit around to play with alignment then color.

Message: I knew that my ad was going to be minimal

and direct. I wanted to keep the same simplicity that

the American Heart Association does in all of their

ads. I also wanted to create an image where it looked

like it was an invite to this formal event.

LogosThis is a logo for my personal small business called

Shine On. This small business I have is where I sell

cards, stationary, and t shirts that I have designed and

screen printed.

I started this logo project with writing and sketchingout objectives. I knew that I was designing this for

myself for my Etsy account. I started out sketching

and writing Shine On. over and over until I

could nd something I really liked. I scanned the

sketchbook pages and opened up the images into

Adobe Illustrator to use the tracing tool. I then took

the pen tool to alter and change the images to look

even better. I went in and edited strokes and colorsand rearranged parts of the images.

I wanted to portray that the company is a creative

company that is still professional.

I have made changes between the time of creating

these logos and the logo I now use because I found it

essential to keep evaluating and reinventing what Ive

already liked.

Photo DesignThis simple photo design was created for AQUA

night club to promote the club.

I started off this design with thumbnails and laying

out how I wanted the text and image to be oriented.

After taking pictures with my Canon camera Ievaluated them and thought about the color and

themes that t well with the best photos. The photo

I selected had a hint of blue and orange that I really

liked and wanted to enhance so I took this to Adobe

Photoshop to enhance the colors and adjust the image

size. I added the text that I wanted and I also searched

and downloaded Neon Lights fonts to nd the best t.

I also went to search for a nice night club to advertisefor.

The message I wanted to show was that the club is

fancy but fun and a great way to spend the night.

Web PageTis is the webpage to display my logo I had created.

I took the logo I had created and saved it so it would be compatiblefor web viewing and linked it on to my HML file which I had alsolinked into my CSS file. In my HML file I wrote down the detailsof how I had created my logo and the service I was creating it for.

Along in there was how I was aligning the content. In the CSS file,this is where I did some embellishing such as adding colors, a back-ground, and changing fonts.

I wanted my website to match the theme my logo had so I con-tinued with the playful but still clean look for the website that inminimal.

Conference FlierThis yer is to promote the Graduate Leadership

Conference for graduating seniors to better their

leadership skills for their careers.

I started my design process by sketching out ideas

and taking notes on the information I needed. Afterchoosing a thumbnail that appeared strongest, I

moved on to Adobe InDesign to set up a document

and make guide boxes for images and text. After the

rst draft I had a friend look over my yer and helped

point of some of the things I lacked and to remember

most of the time the audience will only skim the

yer rather reading it so the information they want is

legible and noticeable.

The message I wanted to send was that the

Graduate Leadership Conference is fun and that it

is professional and will help better the skills that the

seniors already have.
