I searched and found three images on internet.
I opened the three images in Adobe Photoshop.
I trimmed the base image to the size indicated in the instructions (8.5 x 11)
in.
I applied a layer mask to the two secondary images changing opacity.

logos.
Refine one logo with variations for color.

For creating this logo, I made several sketches usind the

I used Adobe Illustrator to convert the font applying outline
that allow me to modified the shapes.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign

Objectives:

Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image.

Design consistent layouts for a business card and
letterhead.
Use the basic tools of Illustrator & InDesign.

Process:

I started this project by creating a sketch, based on the

business card of a brother of the church. His business is
called Victors Auto, so I use the initials to create a logo.
The colors used were red and white, colors that are present
in the flag of the country of origin of the brother. Because
the original card is overloaded with elements in excess, I
worked both sides of my board to fix the full content.
I use Adobe Illustrator to change the fonts, and Adobe
InDesign to manage the layout of the card. Additionally, I
download a mock-up to Adobe Photoshop where the cards
are seen in a natural way.

Objectives:

Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image.

Design consistent layouts for a business card and
letterhead.
Use the basic tools of Illustrator & InDesign.

Process:

This stationery was created by me for an art class. The

project involved the creation of a business card, letterhead
and envelope.
To achieve the realization of this project, I use the tool
box with which to draw a purple box completely covering
each of the elements of the project, after which, draw two
rectangles with rounded corners, above the first rectangle.
These rectangles provided in the blank in which the
necessary information was added.
The logo used was created in Adobe Illustrator.
I use a Photoshop mockup to give an overview of the entire
project.

Brochure

Program(s)/Tools:

Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

Set up and align a two or three sided, folded document.

Create an original, new logo and use it in a brochure.
Incorporate quality images. One image should be
clipped in Photoshop and text-wrapped in InDesign so
the text follows the cutout shape of the image.
Write at least 250 words of original copy in at least
three paragraphs, headers, and subheaders.
Trim for a full bleed and print in duplex (two-sided)
color.

Process:

I use my own template for the creation of this brochure.

The dimensions are 17.50 x 8.5 inches. It is a trifold
brochure with the particularity that contains a cut of one of
the secondary figures principales.Las images, found on the
cover image were used internally to create repetition. Ism
what happened with wavy figure on top of the brochure.
One of the challenges for this model was the mosdo align
figures that when cut, the temple could be seen through it
as if it were printed on the side with the cut off.

Process:

After drawing four sketches, I chose the more significant,

applying the principles of FOCUS, specifically repetition to
create unity. I use a variation in the size of the fonts used,
in order to draw attention to a subtitle. Body copy used
mostly in small letters and in some cases, using weight
variation to keep the readers attention.

The map is seen in the background, like all the words were
created in InDesign.
This is a poster whose purpose was to use mostly fonts for its
realization. A list of 40 things with their descriptions.
The background image was blending to achieve a glow effect
it alrederos allowing sentrara attention on information rather

Process: ***

I scanned a picture of a bra with a rope. I added a pink

background and the other elements are added. As the
subject is a race to raise funds, I added a few runners on
the rope, leaving explicit the type of ad.
The information event was aligned right, exept for the date
and time which was placed in a prominent place to achieve
hierarchy.
This announcement was full beed, which means no
margins around it.

page.

Design a web page using HTML to display a logo and
content.
Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and basic
understanding of CSS.

Compress multiple files in a zipped folder to attach as
one file.

Process: ***

I created this web page using only Sublime Text. After I

marked up all my content and inserted my image, I attached
a pre-made CSS document to my HTML. I then used
the colors from my logo as the colors for my web page. I
found these colors by opening Photoshop and using the
eyedropper tool. I also changed my fonts to Times New
Roman and Verdana. I declared some backup fonts just in
case the viewers browser didnt have these fonts. I also used
padding around the logo and text so that they would not be
too close to the edge of the web page. This was one of the
most challenging parts of working with CSS.
