Flier
Programs: InDesign
Date: 10/2/2015
Course: Comm 130 Section 7
Instructor: Benjamin Pingel
Objectives: This was my first time using InDesign so my biggest focus was
getting familiar with the program. Other than that I was trying to portray
the information that was given to me in a way that would be apealing to the
target audience; anyone who would be interested in taking a capoeira or
other self defence class.
Process: It was all done in InDesign, and the picture was given to me to
use. It was my first time using InDesign but I tried to incorporate shape and
rhythm with the fingered text at the bottom, as well as some strong contrast
with the white script on the black outline that I hope draws the observers
eyes right down the page like I would have them. I spent
a lot of time just playing with different ways to display
the given information, and a lot more time trying to find
easier ways to do the things I did
manally.
Logos
Date: 10/31/2015
Course: Comm 130 Section 7
Instructor: Benjamin Pingel
Objectives: Learning to use Adobe Illustrator effectively as well as
stretching my creativity by trying to desgn different logos for the same
company.
Process: I came up with three different potential logo designs, then chose
the top one which was the most popular and made some basic variations
of it. I made the factory shape simply by adding anchors to a rectangle and
manipulating it into the shape of a factory (Weckery being a mash of my
last name and factory). That was probably the hardest part because I had
to answer the question What shape is a factory? and I had to figure that
out. Then clouds made from overlapping ellipses. The typography took a
while too because I wanted to find some good free fonts
that matched the feel I was going for. Then it was just
a matter of playing around with the small things until I
liked how it looked. The other logos
were fun but not very unique or
oriented specifically to the conpany
that I was going for.

Date: 12/6/2015
Course: Comm 130 Section 7
Instructor: Benjamin Pingel
Objectives: Combining the skills Ive learned with different programs and
applying them to one project.
Process: For this one I made a logo in Adobe Illustrator titled Chubby Bunny
with the chubby bunny head. I wanted it simple and to work as a childrens
clothes company. Next I set up the offset style table in Adobe InDesign using
rulers. I then started playing with designs that I could incorporate with some
pictures found on Google and my logo.
I liked the stripes and wanted to have them on every side for some gestalt
and rhythm. From there I added the pictures and made three of them wrap
text so I could play with the placement of my paragraphs
with a bit more freedom. I did that using Adobe
Photoshop, cutting out the background and applying it
as a mask, then in Adobe InDesign I
made the photos wrap text with an
Alpha channel.
then I cleaned up things and picked
my typography.
Then printing
and making
sure everything
matched up.

Course: Comm 130 Section 7
Instructor: Benjamin Pingel
Objectives: Take a decent picture and use photoshop to
make it nicer.
Process: I took the picture at my friends apartment with his camera trying
to focus on leading. Then to Photoshop and cleaned it up a bit. It was one of
my first times using Photoshop but I enjoyed it a lot. I brightened the photo
and sharpened a few details and just for fun changed the color of his shirt.

Date: 11/7/15
Course: Comm 130 Section 7
Instructor: Benjamin Pingel
Objectives: To have consistant themes between this project and the
business card project, and to combine my Indesign and Illustrator skills.
Process: I designed the ice cream design in Adobe Illustrator by
manipulating shapes until I had what I wanted. (Its an i if you couldnt
tell) I decided against a water mark for the letter head after playing around
with it for a while.
