Description: A religious and inspirational montage created by blending photos together and adding typog-raphy.
Date: 3/20/15
Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 5Ben Pingel
Program(s)/ Tools:Adobe Photoshop
Objectives:I wanted people to get inspired to move on with life even when it can be difficult.
Process:I started this process by sketching out ideas for the montage. I then went to find a quote to use to tie everything together. Once I had my quote I started looking for the right images to use. After finishing all of my planning I opened Adobe Photoshop and begun my design pro-cess. At first I had way too much going on in the design so I decided to refine and simplify it. Once I felt like my design was 90% ready I had it critiqued by two individuals. After learning what I could do to improve my montage I revised the project and made a few changes. I end-ed up liking the new variation of the design much better.
Montage
Description: Demonstrating photography skills and color scheme techniques to relay a message.
Date: 2/6/15
Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 5Ben Pingel
Program(s)/ Tools:Adobe Photoshop
Objectives:To influence individuals to make a lifestyle change and eat more natural foods that will cause them to be healthier.
Process:I first decided on a color scheme (split complementary) and then I had to decide what to take a picture of. Once I had taken my picture I had to upload it into Photoshop. Before I started messing with the image I created a few layout designs that I could potentially use. After my sketches were complete I started working on the image. I had to change a couple of places that were lighter than the rest of the image and brighten up the colors overall. Then I started adding the other elements to the image like the title and the color swatches. I then had my design critiqued. After the critiques I made a few ad-justments to enhance my overall design.

Description: A two sided promotional brochure for The Lion King on Broadway.
Date: 3/27/15
Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 5Ben Pingel
Program(s)/ Tools:Adobe InDesign
Objectives:To inform my audience about an amazing opportunity they have to see The Lion King on Broadway.
Process:This project spanned out two weeks. I spent time creating drafts with ideas for the brochure. Once I had the color scheme and layout figured out I opened Adobe InDesign and started creating the brochure. I made lines around the page with rulers to help me tell where each panel was. I did my first week’s layout and then had it critiqued. Then I started working on my final draft. My coloring was slightly off for my front panel so I ended up clipping the lion’s head so the colors would match better. I also added wrap text in the middle panels in order to create more interest. I changed a few fonts and alignment issues.

Description: Letterhead created with a matching business card for a company
Date: 2/27/15
Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 5Ben Pingel
Program(s)/ Tools:Adobe Illistrator Adobe InDesign
Objectives:To create a Letterhead that shows Red Apple Barn’s customers that they are a family friendly business where you can spend time with the whole family.
Process:To begin this this project I first had to again think about what kind of logo to make. Then I started to make sketches of different letterhead ideas. I wanted this design to be coherent with the business card so I started adding repetition throughout both. After I finished the rough draft I had my designs critiqued. I ended up softening the green and adding more repetition through different elements.

Description: Three different logo ideas for the same company.
Date: 2/20/15
Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 5Ben Pingel
Program(s)/ Tools:Adobe Illistrator
Objectives:To create a logo for Smee’s Southern Home Organization. This company focusses on helping their cli-ents to get their homes organized and lives back on track.
Process:I first started by trying to figure out who my audience is. Then I had to think about what kind of message I wanted to portray. Once I had the basic idea I started thinking about different color schemes that I wanted to use. Then I looked online to try and see what other people in this industry were doing, like which fonts looked the best and so on. I created all of the shapes and text for each logo and placed them together to form each design.

Description: Promotional flier for a graduate leadership conference done in black and white.
Date: 1/24/15
Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 5Ben Pingel
Program(s)/ Tools:Adobe InDesign
Objectives:To inform recent graduates about a great opportunity they could have learning important skills, that would benefit them in their future careers, at a leadership conference.
Process:I began this flier by first making four sketches of different layout ideas. I then chose the layout that I thought looked best and started working on it in the program Indesign. I then used the FOCUS principles to go through my project. The most important principle for me to follow was Unify. Once I unified all of the parts of my design it ended up looking more put together and professional. I tried to use repetition in the colors I chose and the rectangular boxes that are found throughout the flier. I also wanted the heading of the flier to stand out so I used contrasting colors to help create that effect.

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 5Ben Pingel
Program(s)/ Tools:Microsoft WordScanner
Objectives:To create an event ad to inspire people to want to come out and help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Process:I first started by looking through magazines and pictures to find the image for the event ad. I then creating a few sketches with ideas. Once I had the sketches done I scanned in my images and started creating the project in Microsoft word. At first my design was acceptable but not great. One thing that really made a difference in my design was making the title bigger. It really helped it to stand out and become the focal point. Using repetition though the colors and shapes also helped the flow.
