Date: 2-25-2016
Course & Section: Comm 130 Section 3
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objectives: Create a new logo for an
imaginary company. Use the logo in the
letterhead and business card to tie them
together.
Process: I created my logo in Adobe InDesign
by using the pen tool. I drew half of the
diamond, then copied and reversed it to make
the other half match. I made the band of the
ring with the ellipse tool. I used my ring logo
as a watermark by setting the opacity to
about seven. I right aligned my contact text
and used the same fonts that are found in the
words wedding planner to connect the entire
letterhead.

Brochure
Description: Create a full-bleed color folding
brochure with at least 4 pictures and 250 words
of text.
Programs Used: Adobe InDesign, Adobe
Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
Date: 3-24-2016
Course & Section: Comm 130 Section 3
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objectives: I wanted to create a fun brochure
that informed people about the dole whip. I
needed to use a cut-out image and wrap text
around it.
Process: I created a brand new logo in Adobe
Illustrator by using the rectangle shape and
the pen tool. I went for a monochromatic yellow
color scheme because that is the color of the
dole whip. I removed the backgrounds to most
of my pictures in photoshop. I worked hard to
align all my work and have the ability to fold it
as a trifold.

montage
Description: A spiritual montage featuring three
images and a message that brings the images
together.
Programs Used: Adobe Photoshop
Date: 2-12-2016
Course & Section: Comm 130 Section 3
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objectives: Create a spiritual montage
including at least two pictures that fade into
each other with a connecting message.
Process: I found an image of the clouds with
the sun emerging and an image of the earth on
Google. I merged these images together with a
mask. I also blended in an image of me and my
father. I added a drop shadow to my words to
make sure they stood out.

Objectives: Design three logos for a bow
company that would display fun nature and
creativity.
Process: I created my bows out of shapes. I
used many triangles and ellipses. I also used
the pen tool for my middle logo to create the
flowing ribbon for the bow.

Description: My own picture edited in
photoshop and adding a color scheme to it.
Programs Used: Adobe Photoshop
Date: 2-5-2016
Course & Section: Comm 130 Section 3
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objectives: Edit my photo to have a
professional feel to it and add a color scheme
with text.
Process: I blurred the background so the focus
would be on the car. I enhanced the colors on
the yellow house and the red car to make them
stand out because my color scheme is red, blue
and yellow. I filled in three rectangles with my
triadic colors and added a white stroke around
them, then placed white text in them.

Objectives: Explain how my logo was created
through a webpage.
Process: I attatched my html and css documents
to each other through TextWrangler so I could
edit my webpage. I added in the colors, title,
headings and information. I centered my image
of my logo and added a hyperlink to my blog
at the end.

Process: I scanned an image of a dole whip

that I took. Then I got rid of the background
and used shapes to cover up pieces of the

analogous color scheme of green, yellow and

included diamonds for repetition.

will go to the Rainforest Foundation to
