To create a religious or inspirational design using a quote and blending and masking tools.

Adobe Photoshop

I began by deciding on what message I wanted to send. I found the quote, and immediately the painting Girl With a Pearl Earring by Vermeer came to my mind. I loved how the woman in the picture looks so strong yet beautiful. I used photoshop to blend the images together.

To learn the basics of masking in Photoshop to blend two photos together seamlessly.

Logos

October 31, 2015

COMM 130/ Brother Pingel

A logo displayed in three different ways: regularly, black and white, and with a dark background.

Adobe Illustrator

To learn how to create three variations of a logo for a single company.

I used Adobe illustrator to create this design. I started by choosing my company I was going to design for. I chose the real company, the Teton Geotourism Center. I looked at their old logo and decided to echo aspects from it in my new design. The moose and the mountains were two aspects that I liked in the old design that I decided to use in the new one. Before I settled on this specific design, I came up with two other designs that were contenders. I asked 10 people which they liked the most, and 9 out of 10 said that they liked the one that I chose.

Photodesign

COMM 130/ Brother Pingel

A recently taken photo and a color scheme that is displayed in swatches on the design

Adobe Photoshop

To improve skills in Photoshop, as well as improving skills in photography and determining color schemes.

I started this project with another photo I liked. The color scheme was too broad and I did not end up using the photo. Later, I found this pipe that had a red knob-looking thing, with really green grass below it. My mind went automatically to rebellion and graffiti culture. I used photoshop to enhance the colors and take away some leaves that were in the grass. I came up with the word Revolution, and tied it to one of my favorite organizations, Fight the New Drug.

COMM 130/ Brother Pingel

A lettherhead that I could use for my own personal business stationery.

Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign

To learn how to combine programs to create one cohesive design.

used Adobe Illustrator to make the graphics used in this design. I used Adobe InDesign to compile these graphics to create a letterhead. I came up with the airplane graphic, which feel like would represent my marketing company well (if I actually had one). The name of the company comes from my name (Paige) and is a little play on words. I used the Caryn Esplin Color Wheel to decide what colors I was going to use. I chose the subdued, cool tones of teal, blue, and indigo because I think they feel light and airy much like the airplane graphic.

Business Card

November 7, 2015

COMM 130/ Brother Pingel

A business card that goes along with my letterhead project.

Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign

To learn how to successfully create a business card that represents a company. Also to improve our skills at combining multiple programs.

I used much of the work I had done in the Stationery project to use in this project as well. The two went together and would be used for the same company. I was playing around with the dashed lines in Illustrator when I had the idea to create the & with the dots. I ended up using that on the back of the card along with the airplane graphic.

Brochure

December 6, 2015

COMM 130/ Brother Pingel

A brochure with body copy, a new logo, and 4 high quality images.

Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Indesign

To combine almost everything we have learned this semester into one final project. This project shows off what we have learned overall.

I used Adobe Illustrator to create the logo and the image of the ukulele. I used photoshop to cut out the image of the girl jumping with the ukulele. I wrote the body copy first before I started sketching so I would know what my inspiration would be for this brochure. I combined it all and started playing around with where I would place my 4 HQ images I was required to use. I belive that I placed them very strategically.

COMM 130/ Brother Pingel

A web page that explains one of our previously designed logos.

Text Wrangler

To learn the basics about web design and how we can use it in our future professions.

I used a program called TextWrangler to edit the code that I used for this design. I also used a pre-made skeleton of code that was provided in the assignment to base my web page design off of. I chose the Teton Geotourism Center logo that I created in Project 5 because I liked it better than the logo I created in Project 6. I matched the hex colors from my design using photoshop to ensure that it matched perfectly.

Event Ad

COMM 130/ Brother Pingel

A poster that advertises a non-profit event for an organization.

Microsoft Word/ my HP photoscanner,

To create an advertisement for a real or fake non-profit organization. To learn how to design using Microsoft Word.

I began this project by finding an image I wanted to scan into my design. I found this image in a newspaper and I loved it. The simplicity was what drew me into this picture. After that, I had to choose what message I wanted to get across. I did a sketch and wrote the body of text. Next, I threw it all together in Microsoft Word and edited and improved the design as much as I could.

A single sided, black and white flier to promote a graduate leadership conference.

Adobe Indesign

To advertise an event for graduates and future students. Since this was our first project, we were to get used to using Indesign

I started my design process by doing some sketches on plain white paper. I chose my favorite, and began blocking it out on InDesign. I added embellishments in order to add interest and complexity.
