MOntage
Programs Used: Photoshop
Date: February 14, 2015
Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objective: Create an ad using masking tools. Be able to combined two
photos together and stray from making a tacky overdone photo.
Process:
Masking tools and grey scale balances were the main criteria and editing
tools used. I took two photos and hid the background with the flag and
lightened it up a bit to show the tank. I decided to stick the soldier out and
make sure he was an emphasis. When it came to the quote finding the right
typography was a struggle. I edited with the shadow to make it pop so it
would not be lost in the background I also right aligned to add alignment
with the tank.

brochure
Program Used: Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
Date: March 27, 2015
Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objectives:
Make a brochure to sell the experience of Kauai. Gain an experience with
InDesign to make a professional project.
Process:
I made the logo in illustrator with the Pen tool; I edited the photos I took
in Hawaii in Photoshop. (The funny thing is I got complimented on these
photos and I took them with an IPod.) I used a tape measure on paper to be
able to convert this in InDesign and make life easier when I went to print. I
placed everything in the document at random and then changed everything
that was black to red to add a pop of color. Last, I used pen tool to make
the lines I was to cut to make my project into a surfboard.

Why go to Kauai?
Kauai Hawaii or the garden island is the 4th largest island
of Hawaii. It is nicknamed the Garden Island because
Kauai sees Rainfall every single day; So much that It is
actually the wettest place on earth.
Since the Garden Island only has one road
stretching from North to west but not circling all the way
around the Garden Island is perfect for the adventurous
type, and the more laid back person.
Where to go?
Located on the west side is Waimea Canyon. This
is the Grand Canyon of the Pacific with thousand foot cliffs,
waterfalls, and many hiking trails waiting to be conquered.
At the other end of the road on the North end of the
Island is the Napali Coast that is one of the must sees of
the world. People come from all over the world to hike the
beautiful Kalalau Trail.
Where to relax?
If cliff jumping and hiking is not really a must the
beaches located any direction you walk. (It is an island)
Some of the best beaches in the world are found on
Kauai. Places like the Hanalei pier, Queenss bath, and
Tunnels beach are for relaxing and site seeing.
What to Eat?
Do not forget the food on your Hawaii vacation!
Puka Dogsas seen on the traveling channelcan only
be found in Kauai. Fresh Fish tacos, Poke, and Chicken
Katsu are island favorites. If you are really trying to live
like a local, head to 7-11 for some cheap grub and grab a
Spam Musubi. Last but not least you cant come to Hawaii
and not have Shave Ice. So grab shave ice on every stop
through out the island.

Buisness Card
Program Used: InDesign and Illustrator.
Date: February 28, 2015
Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objective: Create a stationery kit for my dad. Learn how to turn a logo into
a unique business card.
Process:
I used logos from the week previous in Illustrator and combined my select
favorites and matched the color schemes. I originally had the S Centered
and then I had the idea to turn it! I also added the watermark of the one
logo to keep white space but to also add a bit of design to the element.

Letterhead
Program Used: InDesign and Illustrator
Date: February 28, 2015
Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objective: Have something for my dads company to write notes on and
give feed back or receipt. I think the letterhead is a great professional look
and I learned how to create stationeries.
Process:
I added a watermark and just random boxes to create something simple
and elegant. The funny thing about this is the kid and tutor next to me and
saw mine and followed it to a T. I know it is already generic but I was kind of
excited that they used mine as a guide to make their letterhead look good.

Logos
Programs Used: Illustrator.
Date: February 21, 2015
Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objective: Create Logos for class that will be professional. Not over done
and far from to complex. Learning to be simple but not like a kindergartener could do it.
Process: I used the shapes and pathfinder to unify and organize the letters and industrial flusher. I used typography to really get the logos as a
whole piece that flowed and stood out. I messed around a lot with the color
schemes.

Photo Design
Programs Used: Photoshop
Date: April 1, 2015
Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objective: Create a color scheme and ad with photos you have taken and
edited.
Process: Finding photo inspiration in Rexburg is not a thing for me. I did
originally edit a photo and used pen tool to create a flow on the side of my
photo. The photo was awful as well. I decided to redo the project and take
a photo from Hawaii because the quality was not only better but also the
color scheme was more prominent. I added boxes and used the dropper
tool to match colors in the photo. I edited the photo with hue, saturation,
and cropped that photo to make sure it was aligned correctly. I popped the
greens and sharpened the elements a bit. Remembering masking tools after
not using Photoshop in weeks was hard.

Project Flier
Programs Used: InDesign
Date: January 23, 2015
Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objective: Create a Graduate Leadership Conference Flier that is different
and professional.
Process:
Saved everything into a file on the desktop. Cropped the photo to add lines
and the side element. Turned all the text sideways to have better white
space in my element. Moved the title to get rid of angles. Shrank the logo
to know who the event is being held by. Popped the color against the white
t-shirt to make sure there is still white space but that it would stand out form
the text. Emphasized Conference to draw someones attention to the event.

Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objectives:
Create a Website For my fathers business. Learn how to code in order to
know how to make webpages. Make a website visually appealing.
Process:
I perfected my logos in illustrator and then I believe I placed them in Photoshop to make a pattern for the back of my website. I used the template

visual flow to a generic website template code.

event ad
Programs Used: Scanner and Word
Date: January 31, 2015
Course & Instructor:
Comm 130 with Brother Judkins
Objective: Create and add for an event using Word. Learn to scan in photos and keep them at high quality images.
Process:
Scan the photo in and edit the image by cropping and turning the image.
I then placed it in Word used a filter added text boxes that I died them
yellow and placed an opaque filter for white space and better visibility. I
zoomed in and cropped the photo to have just one man instead of three. I
fixed the colors to be more legible but continue with the color scheme.
