For this project we got some different images and by using Photoshop we blended them together to make seem as one to match our themes.

Process:

For the process of this project I first surfed the web to find images that would go with my theme. Then I put both pictures on the same page and layered one on the other. Then with the mask on the picture I started blending the two together so I could get a cool ghostly look on the black and white picture kids. After that I added another box layer and masked it to have a faded look and then put my text in it.

For this project we were asked to make three different logos for a business of your choice that all look very different.

Well for the process of this project I first drew out some designs so I had some ideas first. After that I tried my best to make the logo as I wanted to but had to change them up some more.

I wanted it so that I would have my theme on the outside with my logo and everything while I had it open up to a picture. For this I went back through some pictures I had taken before and used the ones that would help/go along with my theme. I learned how to text wrap images so I could add them to my different projects and how to actually make a brochure.

The way I went about this project was that I first made a sketch of my layout for the flier. Then I went into InDesign and formatted everything into my desired spots. I used the black boxes and the black to white boxes as repetition. I made sure to give each object enough space and nice professional look. I really tired to make the title pop out so more people would notice it also.

Okay so for the process I first made some small sketches of the layout I wanted. Then I grabbed one of my pictures that I took and scanned it and placed it in word. I faded the picture so it wouldnt take away from the information that I wanted to be seen. Then I made three transparent green lines with solid black letterings. I used this all in word and only had to use the shape box and text box.
