Process:

On Google I found two images, first the image of the foggy forest then the image of the girl with the umbrella. I opened the forest image into Photoshop then added on top the image of the girl and umbrella. Adding a Mask in Photoshop I was able to use the paint brush tool to blend the second picture in. I also put a filter on the image of the girl, I used a film grain filter from the artistic filters. I then added text changing color of the word Fantasy to make it stick out and last I flattened the image.

With this flier, I redid the text in the title line. I made graduate larger with script font while leaving leadership and conference in the Arial font and smaller. I added contrast by filling in my boxes to be completely black also fixing the spelling and grammatical errors. I made the date, time and place all the same size to emphasis the importance of each aspect. I moved the registration info lower to line with the logo also decreasing its size and grouping it together. I also took the indents out of the two body paragraphs, differentiating them by placing spacing between them.

I took a point and shoot to the Nature Park in Rexburg, Idaho and began by placing different aspects of in house appliances down in the snow. I tried taking this picture as an example of a composition photo. I opened it in Photoshop and cropped my image to make it 6X6 with 150 ppi, using the Lasso tool I selected the bowls, saturated the back ground and added warmth to it by bringing more red into the background. Then I selected a filter on the blanket which was the drawing filter under the artistic filters within the filter gallery. I opened up a new document within Photoshop and moved my photo over and aligned it to have the margins of 1.25 inches on the sides and 2 inches on the top with 3 inces on the bottom.

Using the Pen tool I wrote out the V and the L then using the white arrow I distorted the V and L till they fit together. I went through after the due date and fixed some of the elements so they would have more proximity. I took away the color on the back ground and made sure all my contact information was all in the same spot. I colored the email address purple to go along with repetition in the Logo.

For these Logos I decided to completely redo them. I started out using the pen tool to create ballons and then picked different fonts and distorted them until I got the desired look I wanted. On the last Logo I wanted to just do the initials of the company and when I saw the T curve up I thought the bottom curve in the S would fit perfectly in the T. I then saved the file as a JEPG and used that to place on my blog.

In Text Wrangler I wrote up my HTML coding and wrote all the text I wanted on the actual webpage. Then I opened my logo in Photoshop and began using the eyedropper to find the hex colors to start making changes to the CSS coding. After that I began playing around with different fonts to see which went well with the Logo. I changed the colors of all the text to match some type of purple whether it is very dark or light. I matched the logos B to the font used for the top heading. When it was finished I took a screen shot and pasted it in a Photoshop document. I then sized the document and saved it as a JPEG.

I scanned the original photo and formatted it within word. I had to crop out some wording on the bottom half of the photo. Then I did some color corrections to really make the colors within the image pop out of the page. I used the color fill eye dropper to match the boxes directly to the image itself. I then used the ruler guides to line up the text so that it was all aligned and presented a good flow within the flier.
