Description:This is a yer for a Graduate Leadership Conference. We were given the text andthe graphics to use.

Date:10/4/14

Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 11Emily Kunz

Program(s)/Tools:Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:Learn to manage Photoshop layers.

Learn to blend images together smoothly, using masks.Use lters.Apply appropriate typography.

Process:I started off by cropping the background image to 8.5×11. I selected theconductor and moved him to the background image, then I added a mask.With black paint and a 100% opacity, soft-edged brush, I painted away the hardimage edges.With a larger black brush at 30% opacity and 30% ow, I blended the image

into the background, so it looks like he is melting into the secene. I repeatedthe process with the train ticket, but I did not lasso the ticket rst. I just draggedthe entire image to the background image and started masking it until it was agradual blend. I nally added some type with two contrasting fonts and I addeda layer style (soft, black shadow) to make the text more legible.

Description:This is a yer for a Graduate Leadership Conference. We weregiven the text and the graphics to use.

Date:10-4-14


Program(s)/Tools:Adobe InDesign

Objectives:Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography.Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic ier layout.Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesigndocument to keep links intact.

Process:For my process, I used In Design Creative Cloud. I have beenfortunate enough to have some experience working withAdobe Software at my current job, but am hoping to expandbeyond the basics. After I formulated the plan for the yerby drawing out sketches, I used the text and graphics that Iwas given, and organized it into the current layout. I made

a few changes from my initial design after some critiquesand simplied it somewhat. The critiques were very usefuland for the most part, everyone had similar opinions. I usedrepetition in the squares that I placed at the top and bottomand kept the context as aligned as possible. I made sure thatthe graphics were not out of proportion.

Flier

Process:I scanned this picture from a magazine. I thought itconveyed the message of healing and hope and faith. Iplaced a color coordinated box in the lower right corner.This helps the website to stand out a bit more. Otherthan this, the text is all black. I used Microsoft Word and

PDF2JPG.net to convert my graphic from a PDF to a JPG. Ialso used a professional scanner at my ofce, but the makeand model are not available to me at this time.

Description:A web page designed to showcase a personally created logo.

Date:11-21-14


Program(s)/Tools:Notepad ++Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web page.

Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and how itappeals to a target audience.Design a web page using HTML to display a logo and content.Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and basic understanding of CSS.Identify hex colors for web design.Compress multiple les in a zipped folder to attach as one le.

Process:I designed this page using NotePad++. I have made web pages before,but not from the back side using code. It was interesting. I used the

pre-designed CSS le and connected it to my HTML le. After editingmy logo in Adobe Illustrator, I gured out the colors by using the eyedropper tool. I used the HTML validator to check my codes. I think thatthis part was difcult to gure out what codes they wanted changed andwhy.
