Instructor/Course: Joel Judkins-Comm 130
Programs/Tools: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
Objectives: Create a new logo and orgainze it into a two-sided and folded
design.
Process: I used Indesign mainly but also used Photoshop and Illustrator for
my logo. I had to make up a draft with all the things I wanted and measure
the sides to figure out how to set it up in Indesign. I made my document with
basic text fillers and got the general layout working and then added text and
paragraph styles.

Objectives: Create a logo and incorporate it into a buisness card and letterhead.
Process: I used Illustrator to design a new logo for the company and incorporate
it into a business card and stationary. After several tries I finally found a good
combination and arranged it to my liking. I used triangles and circles in all the
pieces to create unity.

referenced many materials to find help on how to code properly. I also
validated it to make sure my code was correct and working properly.

Announcement

Description: A graduation/pregnacy announcement.
Date: April 2, 2015
Programs/Tools: Adobe Photoshop
Objectives: Create a design and theme that would incorporate these two
special events going on and do so in a chohesive manner.
Process: I started out by drawing a few sketches and ideas, especally for what
to call it. I settled on Graduating to Motherhood. After I got some pictures of
her dancing (because thats what she graduated in) and worked them into the
design. I added some texture and text to wrap it all up.

Photo Design
............................................................
Description: Demonstrate and practice good photography and editing skills and
a knowledge of color schemes through a poster with an original photo.
Date: February 8, 2015
Instructor/Course: Joel Judkins-Comm 130
Programs/ Tools: Adobe Photoshop
Objectives: Obtain basic photo taking and editing schools and incorporate an
image with text and a color scheme.
Process: I started out by looking for a message and then found ways to
incorporate a picture and color scheme that would help to convey that
message. I then drew up some sketches for the design of the project. This
helped me see how I would want to frame my picture. I then took my picture
and used Photoshop to design my poster.

Montage

Objectives: Learn to blend two photos together and format together with text
to create a unifed design.
Process: This one took me a while to figure out what I really wanted to do
and took several drafts and ideas to get down to the one I have now. I used
Pinterest to find a quote and found a picture I had taken from a few years back
and used that as my focus picture. I then found a tree background from texture.
com and used a mask on Photoshop to blend the two together.

wih a color scheme.
Process: We were asked to create an event and a flier for it. I wanted to do a
soup dinner fundraiser so I went and found a magazine with a delicious looking
bowl of soup and scanned it in. Using this image I created my design after
drawing up a few sketches. I created the document using Microsoft Word. I had
to leave room for a bleed allowance to be trimmed off after printing.

Logos
............................................................
Description: Three logo variations for the same company.
Date: February 26, 2015
Instructor/Course: Joel Judkins-Comm 130
Programs/ Tools: Adobe Illustrator
Objectives: Create three separate logos and gather opinions about which
appeals to them the most.
Process: I started out by choosing a company. The one I used is actually the
name of the company my husband wants to one day have so he really enjoyed
me making logo ideas for him. I started out by sketching several ideas til I
found some I really liked and tried to recreate them on Illustrator. Using the
shape tools I warped and made my own shapes and created several ideas.
From there I picked my favorite three and played around with fonts and colors.

Flier
............................................................
Description: A Flier made for a Graduate Leadership Conference completed in
black and white.
Date: January 25, 2015
Instructor/Course: Joel Judkins-Comm 130
Programs/ Tools: Adobe InDesign
Objectives: Apply basic design priniples and make a flier that incoporates those
priniples.
Process: I used InDesign to complete this one after first making several sketches
and choosing my favorite one. I was given the logo, picture, and text and then
went from there. I repeated the circle to bring it all together and used some
sizing and bolding of the text to draw attention to importance and create
contrast.
