Brochure
Description: A trifold brochure promoting a bike tour in Washington D.C.
Programs Used: Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
Date: March 26, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor: Ben Pingel
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. One should be clipped in Photoshop and
text-wrapped in InDesign so the text follows the cutout shape of the image.
Process: I did a trifold so that the brochure would resemble a map. My logo was a
bike, that says DC on the tires, and I used that image of the bike throughout the
design to create unity. I created the design in Illustrator using the curve and pen
tools. I used text wrapping with my image of a helmet. I edited the helmet image
in Photoshop to get rid of unwanted parts of the image and the white background
using the selection tool. I then placed the image in InDesign. I used paragraph
styling with my headlines and text to have continuity throughout my whole design.

logos
Description: Logo for a bakery.
Programs Used: Adobe Illustrator
Date: Febuary 21, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objective: Create three completely different, original logos to fit a company or
personal image that will appeal to the audience. Use only the Illustrator tools to
create and draw your logos. No Illustrator pre-fabricated flares, symbols, etc.
Process: This project was so fun to do! I took a vote and most people liked this one
because they said the B was memorable. I didnt like the look of having a word
inside of the bread, especially since it was one of the main words. I decided to take
out the word bread so the design could look more sleek. I then played around with
the sizes of the bread, and manipulated the corners of the last design which was a
fill in of surrounding white text.

Event ad
Description: A full-bleed event ad to promote an air event using only Microsoft Word.
Programs Used: Microsoft Word
Date: January 31, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objective: Comprehend image sizing (how pixels and inches work together). Find, scan
and import a high-quality image. Create a full-bleed design. Learn to use only Word
design features without using any Adobe programs, including Photoshop.
Process: I scanned the photo of the airplane from a magazine. I put my title text with a
gradual flow toward that center of focus that drew attention to the airplane wings and
strong visual elements. I added the purple tinted translucent boxes that helped with
the ads gestalt by giving it a cloud-like look, contributing to the flyers airplane theme. I
chose the font for a ir show, because it reminded me of a militant/air force theme.

Letterhead
Description: Matching letterhead and business card designed using a personally
created logo.
Programs Used: Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign
Date: February 28, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objective: Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image. Use the new
logo to design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead. Letterhead
should be 8.5 x 11, full-bleed optional, but trim only .125. Business card should be
3.5 x 2 and printed above center on a vertical page.
Process: After sketching my design, I created my logo in Adobe Illustrator
using the pen, shape, and line tools. I added polka dots to create a fun pattern,
to show the playfulness of her books. I added her contact information to the
bottom to make it look cleaner and more organized. Once I finalized my design, I
placed the .ai file into Adobe InDesign.

business card
Description: Matching letterhead and business card designed using a personally
created logo.
Programs Used: Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign
Date: February 28, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objective: Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image. Use the new
logo to design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead. Letterhead
should be 8.5 x 11, full-bleed optional, but trim only .125. Business card should be
3.5 x 2 and printed above center on a vertical page.
Process: I picked a gray background to go with my background, giving a good
contrast to every element of the logo. For the other side of the business card, I
maintained a lot of the same information from the letterhead. I added the logo of
the book, but eliminated the text, to show the book from a new perspective, and
to convey the idea that the client is an o pen-book. I added the purple dots to
add cotinuity with the letterhead.

montage
Description: A spiritually themed montage made by the blending of two or more
images, and the use of typography.
Programs Used: Adobe Photoshop
Date: February 13, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objective: Unify a layout with a consistent theme and dominant spiritual message
Learn to blend two or more images together gradually, using masks.
Demonstrate more advanced Photoshop skills for layout with multiple elements.
Use a mask to apply a filter to one part of the image.
Process: I first added the forest photo, and the with the layer tools I erased the
womens figure, and then placed it on the forest photo. I wanted to find a way to
hide the outline of her feet to make it more natural, so I added in the smoke. I
then played with the opacity levels to make the smokey fog the way I liked. I then
added the scriptures over my image and then lowered the opacity of the image
to 5%. I then inserted a quote from Dieter F. Uchtdorf.

Flier
Description: Graduate Leadership Conference Flier in Black and White.
Programs Used: Adobe Indesign
Date: January 23, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objective: Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography.
Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier layout.
Process: After sketching a few designs, I used this one because it incorporated
the best alignment with the black blocking L to tie all the elements together.
Using Adobe InDesign, I contributed to the proximity by grouping the visual
elements together (logo, image, and QR code), which led the design through a
logical flow. From an advertising standpoint, I decided to incorporate a QR code
which will help more people actually visit the mobile site and register for the
event. The logo, image, and text was provided for me.

Web page
Description: A website designed to show the logo I created.
Programs Used: I used Adobe lllustrator to create the logo, and Notepad ++ to design
the html and CSS.
Date: March 12, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objective: Acquire a working knowledge of HTML. (Include all required tags
Doctype (provided), html, head, title, meta charset (provided), body, h1, h2, p, ol or
ul (with li tags), img, br, and a link to blog). Acquire a working knowledge of CSS.
(Customize the provided CSS provided to format the HTML to complement the logo
design. Change h1 text color & h1 background color, font colors for the paragraphs
& list items, the background color, font families and add at least one css comment.
Identify hex colors to match logo, using Photoshop color picker.
Process: I started by working on my html last week. This was difficult as I had to
learn how to space things. It was also difficult to learn how to indent properly. Then,
I learned how to use CSS. Then, it was trial and error on seeing if the code had a
desired look.

imaging
Description: Incorporating a color scheme into a good photograph to display my skills
in Adobe Photoshop.
Programs Used: Adobe Photoshop
Date: February 6, 2016
Course: COMM 130: 02
Instructor name: Ben Pingel
Objective: Choose a color scheme, take a photo to match those colors, then
incorporate the colors into the layout. Adjust image levels, saturation, color balance,
sharpen tool on separate layers for NDE (non-destructive editing.) Size and crop the
image, then place on an 8.5 x 11 page layout. Use layers to design text, and repeating
graphic elements in Photoshop.
Process: I first looked in the Visual FOCUS textbook and chose a triadic color
scheme. I went around my apartment finding things that seemed to fit my color
scheme. I then decided my audience would be for children and was inspired by the
story of the Ugly Duckling. I had my roommates help me hold a few lamps, and I
used my Samsung NX2000 camera to shoot the photo. I then brought the photo into
Photoshop and used these specific editing techniques: levels, sharpness, saturation,
and color balance. I used the eye dropper tool to make my blue a more teal color,
and then I smoothed it out with the brush.
