    OBJECTIVE

    Comprehend image sizing. Find, scan and import a high-quality image.

    Create a full-bleed design. Choose a color scheme and typeface(s) that work

    for your message and audience. Learn to use only Word design features

    without using any Adobe programs, including Photoshop.

    PROCESS

    I rst chose to make the design simple and appealing to Rexburg citizens

    who would most likely go to a ballet. I chose a monochromatic color scheme,

    with a light hue of violet as my color. Black and white are also prominent

    in the design. The photo came from a dance photography book and was

    scanned from the printer/scanners at the library.

    DESCRIPTION

    This poster shows a quote by Martin Luther King Jr. with a man walking up

    a staircase surrounded by black fog, because he has to take the rst step

    despite not being able to see the entire staircase.

    OBJECTIVE

    Unify a layout with a consistent theme and dominant spiritual message.

    Learn to blend two or more images together gradually, using masks.

    PROCESS

    I worked in photoshop for this assignment. The man and the staircase are

    two different images, with the man layered over the top. The background of

    the man was already white, so it was easy to take out. I added a mask over

    the staircase, and a black background layered under the staircase to I could

    manually and non-destructively add the fog. I turned down the vibrancy and

    saturation of the staircase and a little of the man to make it appear that he is

    in a dark foggy area.

    TITLE OF PROJECT

    Website

    DESCRIPTION

    This project is more family friendly and homy so I chose a sweet looking farm

    background to represent the berry farm, which would appeal more to families

    and children. It is meant to advertise a berry farm called Barrys Berries.

    OBJECTIVE

    Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and how it ap-

    peals to a target audience. Acquire a working knowledge of HTML. Acquire a

    working knowledge of CSS.

    PROCESS

    I started by sketching a basic layout for the website, and made a skeleton

    html le with just the text and the logo. After that, I searched for a

    background I could use royalty free, and added it to the background. I then

    put all of the text in a border, widened the margins around the border to

    make it look centered, and added the curves for the border.

    Logos

    DESCRIPTION

    These logos are for a berry farm called Berrys Berries. They are meant

    to be more family-friendly, as the berry farm advertises their family berry

    picking.

    OBJECTIVE

    Create three completely different, original logos to t a company or personal

    image that will appeal to the audience. Do not imitate existing logos or use

    previous designs. Use only the Illustrator tools to create and draw your logos.

    PROCESS

    The actual creation of the berries mainly took place in my head and on a

    whiteboard/mirror. I was at a loss for a long time about what to do, but

    talking through ideas with my husband really helped, and I quickly made

    rough sketches of these designs with a dry erase marker. I used the shape

    builder tool and different shapes in Adobe Illustrator to make the logos. More

    of the ideas I used, such as the wicker on the basket, blackberry in the center

    of the top logo, and fonts were suggested during critique.

    OBJECTIVE

    Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography. Incorporate basic

    InDesign skills to improve basic ier layout. Retrieve image and logo from

    links on this page.

    PROCESS

    The most difcult part of this design was the image of the woman, as at this

    point I knew nothing about how to remove a background from a bit of image.

    I mainly t white shapes around the woman to get her out of the background.

    I then added the pre-chosen paragraphs and informtion. Behind those I

    added white backgrounds with the opacity down.

    OBJECTIVE

    Create a new logo to t a company or personal image. Use the new logo to

    design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead.

    PROCESS

    The logo is actually Star-Lords signature mask. I found a photo of a

    Halloween costume using the mask, and built the proportions out of that in

    adobe illustrator, and changed the mask a bit to make it look nice as a logo. I

    did not add nearly the amount of detail the photos I looked up had.

    Then it was a matter of color picking the colors from the cassette tape a little,

    changing the colors slightly to make them lighter, mostly done to the yellow,

    and accented the designs with red lines, and a red circle behind the mask.

    Brochure

    DESCRIPTION

    This brochureis for the nonexistent Childrens Museum of Rexburg. I was

    hoping to go for a enter a world of wonder! type feel with the gate opening

    up into a beautiful world. I aimed this brochure for children and their parents,

    with children enjoying the gate opening up and the pictures inside, and the

    parents reading the information about the different sections of the museum.

    OBJECTIVE

    Set up and align a two-sided, folded document. Create an original, new logo

    and use it in a brochure. Incorporate quality images. Incorporate at least four

    quality images, not including the logo.

    PROCESS

    I learned a lot about how much it takes to measure a brochure, which

    took the biggest amount of time. I decided to do a gatefold, and the

    measurements alone took 1/3 of the time I had to make the brochure. I then

    added the information, and added clouds behind it. The door was made using

    a wood texture and a metal texture, and changed the color.

    OBJECTIVE

    Learn basic photography skills. Choose a color scheme, take a photo to

    match those colors, then incorporate the colors into the layout. Use a digital

    camera to take a quality image, then download it. Adjust image levels, satu-

    ration, color balance, sharpen tool on separate layers for NDE (non-destruc-

    tive editing.)

    PROCESS

    I made this poster with a quote about the fall, since it seems like Rexburg is

    in the middle of the beautiful half of the Fall season. The original photo was

    not edited much, just some change in the vibrancy scale, and I think some

    sharpening. I used yellow, blue and red to make a triadic color scheme.
