Date:December 7th, 2014

Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 05Joel JudkinsProgram(s)/Tools:Adobe InDesignAdobe IllustratorAdobe Photoshop

Objectives:Create a brochure design the correctly represents a company and is visually appealingand easy to navigate.

Process:I used the lesson to set up the basic outline of the brochure and then sketched outsome different ideas I had in mind.

I decided to go with a black and white theme to give it a dynamic look and used fewcolors in my images. I then searched for a text that helped express my vision andfound Ostrich. I then looked for a good font the would be complimentary for the bodycopy. I used black and white throughout the design and in my logos. For my logos Iworked in illustrator and used pictures of item to create silhouettes. I used the penand brush tool and the shape tool as well. Once I had my logos I factored in where Iwanted my text, titles, and main images to be and then added in my logos to parts inthe text. After that I used textwrap to wrap the text around my logos.

After that I worked on my clients page by pulling fashion and beauty logos from theinternet and using them to create a brick looking design to represent the companysclients.

I relied a lot on typography to help thedesigns. Also I wanted to try and make my bottom logo something a little differentfor a cupcake shop and went for a different color scheme and design.

font to contrast with the 10pt contact information. I used a simplified ver-sion of the logo as the watermark and brought it up to a bigger proportion.

With black paintand a 100% opacity, soft-edged brush, I painted away the hard image edg-es. With a larger black brush at 40% opacity I blended the edges of thegirl into the background.

Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 05Joel JudkinsProgram(s)/Tools:Adobe IllustratorHTMLCSSNotepad ++

Objectives:

Write code for a website to design to create an appealing and working website.

Process:I created this web page using Notepad ++. My very little experience with html hadcome from Myspace before this project and Id never worked with CSS. I startedby using some of the starting code provided and then worked with what BrotherJudkins had taught us and looked at internet tutorials if I was ever confused. I firstwrote my html code and tagged and indented it correctly. Then I validated it usingan online program.

After that I attached the provided CSS document to my html document andstarted working on the visual formatting of the page in CSS. I used the eye-dropper tool in Photoshop to determine what hex colors were in my logo andthen used those colors in my webpage. I matched my header font to the font inmy logo and then went with a simple old style font to compliment the scriptof the heading and logo. I then messed around on CSS with borders, back-grounds, and padding until the page had enough space and the look I wanted.
