Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:
To learn to use blend two images together seemlessly, use layers, use
masks and special effects.

Process:
First of all I cropped it to be 8.5 x 11 inches. I then placed the background
image in and made some edits to make it cleaner, I also sharpened the
foreground. After that I added in the picture of Jesus and extended the
background so that it could be merged. I then used a mask to reduce the
occupancy of the layer Christ is on so you could see the ocean background.
Following that I added in some text, starting with Savior in big capital
letters in the middle and other names of Christ as it moves out. I used FX
and occupancy to make the text have more variate and slowly disappear the

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop, InDeign, and Illistrator

Objectives:
To learn how to make a professional looking brochure.

Process:
I set up the layout of my brochure in inDesign, I then choose some pictures
from the ones I took in Japan. I then decided on the color scheme of
blue, red, and white. I then opened up illustrator and made a logo for my
brochure. After that I added some pictures and determined that I needed to
Photoshop a few to look better and did so.
I then added in some headers and text, and also found a map of the train
systems on the internet to use. I then did some research on websites with
more information about Kobe, train times, and airlines and added some
links accordingly.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign and Illistrator.

Objectives:
To learn to make a logo and use it in a professional letter head.

Process:
I started out by using Illustrator to make a new Logo for my company. I then
went ahead and made a copy of the P in the sphere so it could be a separate
icon I could use. Following that I imported both files into InDesign so I
could create a layout for a letter head. I put the logo in the top left corner
and my information in the top left.
I then wanted to add a line of circles define where the letter head ended. I
decided to make a large invisible circle and have some periods track along
it with the proper colors to make it look like the top of the circle that divided
the page. I then added the icon to the bottom left and drooped the opacity
to 5% to make it a water mark.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illistrator

Objectives:
To make a logo for a company that can be used in all diffrent kinds of ways
including in black and white.

Process:
I started off by making some draft ideas on paper and them put them on
illustrator, once I got some good ones I asked some friends which design
they liked best. A lot of them liked the top over all but many like parts of
the middle ones, so I decided to combine the two. I used illustrator and
messed around with a few different styles of modifying it until I got the one I
ultimately decided on. I then modified it so I had a design in black and white
and one where the text is white and the background purple.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:
To learn to modify a image using Photoshop to make it look better, brighter,
and match a color scheme.

Process:
I first came up with what I wanted to show and came up with the idea of
taking a picture of my kendama at rest and found a quote about nothing
happening until something does something. Sense the background and
the wood of the kendama fell into the orange range I decided to go with a
orange monochromatic style. I then pulled the picture into Photoshop and
turned it a bit, I then added in the background colors and text. Following
with I edited the image so that the color of the ball was more of a brown/
orange color. I then pulled off the logo on the handle of the kendama and

Program(s)/Tools:
Brackets and Adobe Illistrator

Objectives:
To learn how to make a website using basic HTML 5 and CSS 3.

Process:
I made the website using a free program called brackets, and I made the
background image and logo using Illustrator. I first made the HTML page
with the content I wanted to have. Once I was satisfied with the content and
positioning of everything I looked around the internet to figure out how to
make a CSS circle. I then added some divs and used the code for the CSS
circle to put the content in the circles. I also used some other divs to move
the content around so that they were in the places I wanted to have them all
the web page.

Objectives:
To learn how to make a basic flier using InDesign.

Process:
I first made a few sketches for my design and choose the one that I liked
best. I then used InDesign to make a rough layout and then to slowly create
the whole flier just like I sketched it out to be. I then modified the flier to
be more focused on the message and to feel more unified in the design and
bring some good spacing into it.

Objectives:
To learn how to make a decent looking event add using just Microsoft Word.

Process:
I used a scanner to scan a image of a young man in a boat who looked
stressed. I then used Microsoft Word to create the flier. I used the circle
shape tool to create the circles. The crop and frame tool to make the image
a circle around the boy in the boat. I made sure that many of the circles ran
to the edge to add some flavor to the image. I also used the smaller circles
to lead the user from one main circle to the next.
