Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign/Adobe Illustrator
Objectives:
Create a new logo to fit a company or
personal image.
Design consistent layouts for a card and
letterhead.
Use the basic tools of Illustrator &
InDesign.
Process:
I used both Adobe Illustrator and InDesign
to create the designs. The tools I used
where shapes, colors, pen, and crop. The
skills I used were the simple creative skills
I have and the western business cards I
looked up. I used a lot of white space to
make it noticeable with alignment being
the huge part of the design. Finally I also
used shapes to make it the main part of
the logo.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign
Objectives:
Create a spiritual image with a message
that uplifts.
Process:
I basically took the temple and cropped it
to image with a masked image of Christ as
the major part of the montage. The fonts
are typed to display the message. The
masking was the hardest but was able to
get the image that was needed to fit the
temple. The image was found on both
websites for the church and so they were
easily downloaded.

Adobe Illustrator
Objectives:
Create a new logo to fit a company or
personal image.
Process:
I used Adobe Illustrator to create the
designs. I also used the ellipse tool to
create the main shapes of the logos. I next
used the round rectangle tool to create
the sprinkles. The pen tool was used to
center the shapes and mix the color of
the sprinkles.I had to double the circles in
order to make the donuts with the ellipse
too as well.

Objectives:
Create webpage matching the business
card and letterhead for future employers.
Process:
I basically used text wrangler to edit
the codes and html. Other than that
I also used photoshop to capture the
color codes for the web page. The skills
required werent that much with copying
and pasting codes for color and write out
to give my webpage a some information.
I used the crop tool in photoshop to get
the image at the right size too. Lastly, I
used a little measuring skills to get the
image right in the first place.

Create a flier for the university to

Process:
I took one of the downloaded images
prepared for us and cropped it for my
idea. I created certain squares to give it a
look that will present itself. The logos were
given to us as well. The rest of the designs
were given to us to place for whatever
idea we had. Basically I cam up with a
simple idea of just organization. The fonts
were simple as well.

Process:
I used the InDesing to to make the green
rectangle for design purposes. Also I
downloaded a picture of a soldier to show
what the event was mainly for. The fonts
were meant to be a more serious tone
so I used a font that would do just that. I
used some of the tools to create and bend
things to my idea in which it would give it
a better look.

To create a photo ad to help bring more

I basically used the Adobe Photoshop to

used a bunch of the shape tools to create
rectangles to give more design. Then I
used the colors schemes to match the
overall picture. The opacity tool was used
to dim the shades of the colors in order
to see the picture more clearly. The fonts
were used to help describe what colors
were used.

rest of the space for a text. The colors
were used to blend with the colors of the
soldiers. The texts were meant to be in a
serious tone as well.ww
