Brochure
Description: We were asked to create a brochure with at least one fold, four images, a logo, and a cut out image. I designed a brochure promoting Chesbury Golf Resort. Date: December 7th, 2013 Course Instructor: Comm 130-Section 6 Julie Peterson Programs Used: Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign Objectives: Set up and align a two-sided document . Create an original company logo and use it in a brochure.With at least four images, with a text wrap on one and a cut out on another.Write at least 250 words of original copy with at least three paragraphs.

Process: I set up my guides in InDesign for a portrait layout brochure, then I added my four images and text. I had to cut out my castle image in Photoshop using the quick selection tool and filters to add quality. Then I put a text wrap on the image so the text folded around the edges of the image. I put filters on the other images as well. I created the crest logo in Illustrator and imported that into my brochure as well. Then I picked my fronts, colors, themes, and inserted my 250 words into text boxes. Then I saved my project and took screenshots to add onto my post.

Description: We were asked to create an artwork on photoshop, using typography, blending at least 2 images and using a filter. I chose to create a holiday flier promoting Christmas. I chose these images off the internet.

Programs Used: Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign Objectives: Learn how to use consistant typography and theme to create a three blended image in Photoshop. Process: I chose a theme, then three images. Once I did this, I uploaded them in Photoshop. I had to create layers, a mask, and blend the images. Then I had to use a filter, I chose Accented Edges Filter. Then I had to use typography. I had to use contrast with the elements by choosing contrasting, but working fonts and chose to keep repetition in the image as well with color. The gifts and text is the same color and the ornaments and the lights on the tree are both gold. Then I had to save and submit the project.

Event Ad
Description: I was asked to create an advertisement for a charity with the Time, Date, and Place, benefactor, beneficiary, and a scanned image. This is an ad for a 5k Mud Run put on by the Chamber of Commerce with the proceeds going to the Seattle Childrens Hospital. Through this project we learned how to scan an image. But we had to keep the image the same without looking distorted. We also used Word for the entire project and learned how to create art through this program. Date: October 11, 2013 Course Instructor: Comm 130-Section 6 Julie Peterson Programs Used: Microsoft Word Objective: Find, scan and import a high-quality image. Create a full-bleed design Use text boxes for layout in Word. Insert and edit images in Word. Process: We started with a image we wanted to use, then we had to scan this image without distorting it. We came up with a charity we wanted to create advertisement for and got to work. We used Word instead of Indesign and had to get to know the program. We had a few requirements for this project including the time, date, place, benefactor, beneficiary, and any other information you would need to participate.

Web Page
Description: This was a two week project where we were asked to create a web page from the logo we previously made. The first week we learned HTML and the second week we learned CSS. We had to originally create the website, then go back and use the design skills to make it more creative. We learned a lot and some of us were like fish out of water. Date: November 23, 2913 Course Instructor: Comm 130-Section 6 Julie Peterson Programs Used: Illustrator and InDesign Objectives: Creat a web page for a company with an origional new logo or a previous one using HTML and CSS skills along with design skills and typography. Process: The first week with HTML, we learned how to use Text Wrangler to create a web page. We had to learn about links, tags, images, and little details we would have never known about. With CSS we learned some of the same skills along with more of a personal level. We were the boss and could change anything. We could change the color to the exact one we wanted using photoshop and the hex code. It was very different for some of us!
