of typography.
Date:5.31.14
Course/Instructor:Visual Media by Julie Peterson
Program(s)/ Tools: Photoshop
Objective: Use the FOCUS design process, unifya layout with a consistent theme and dominantmessage, learn to blend two or more images to-gether gradually, using masks
Process: I first found the images that I was go-ing to use for the project. I then cropped the
background so that it fit into the 8.511 size. Iadjusted hue, colors and features of the back-ground so it was more what I wanted. I then add-ed the plane to the bottom right hand corner by
using the lasso tool. I made it a bit smaller andblurred out the hard edges with a 100% opacityand then changed to 28% opacity for the rest ofthe plane. I then added a filter to the plane so it
looked more hazy, the filter was a rain splash. Ithen added my text. I matched the color with theplane color wanting to keep it simple.

I used the angles of the turtle to my advan-tage, and decided to put the text where your eyesgo. I really liked the wave in the picture, so i put
the title there. I made the font bold and a bit ital-icized, which I know is not usually recommendedbut I felt that it went along with the theme of theevent. I added a rectangle shape on the bottomof the flier, and colored it in to add a bit moredesign. I also colored the text so that it matched
the turtles dark grey shell.

but moved them around so the in part was clos-er to the breathe. I also added a rectangle toadd a little simple design to it. I chose the color
because it is a muted calm color that representsthe peacefulness of yoga. For the second one Imainly used the brush tool to create a commonpose used in yoga. I choose the green color to
represent a more earthy tone. For the third oneI wanted a more exciting and creative logo so Ichose bright colors that went against each other
but still meshed well. I then added a simple flow-er that connected to the line below. I connected
it to the font so it looked like the dot for the i.
