Course: Communications 130 Section 3

Discription:

A brochure for a hypothical Airsoft store.

Programs: Photoshop and Indesign

Objectives: Create a brochure for a company using photoshop and Indesign.
Demonstrait skills learned durring the semester.

Process:
Well I started out by searching the web to find some cool images. Once I
found the ones I wanted I opened up indesign and created two pages. I found a
brochure template online which I used the measurements to find where I needed
to fold. Once I had those in place I put the pictures where I thought I wanted
them and made a rough shape map of my brochure. Once I was happy with that
I took the images and edited them in Photoshop. I had to cut out all of them
and color them. I also found a cool font online that I used for the Logo and
titles. Once all the images were done I brought them back into indesign and
then I copied and pasted the body copy into the design. I aligned everything
where I needed it and then I was done.

Objectives: Create a spiritual poster montage using images and type. Learn how

Process:
I just followed the process we learned in class. I started out with the image of
the earth and then added the image of the second coming on top of that. I then
proceed to use the brush tool with my layer masks to blend the image together.
I found two textures that I put into the image using the same process. I the
found some fonts I liked and put the quote in.

A insperational poster

Photoshop

Objectives:

Learn the basics of photograpy. Use photograpy skills combined with

photoshop skills to create a professional design. WWW

Process:

This was probably my favorite project so far. I wouldnt say Im a

professional photographer but I like to take pictures and I think I have an eye
for what is good. I really wanted to do a night sky picture with the same theme
but every night this week was very cloudy. Since I couldnt see the stars I had to
change my approach. In the end I think it turned out for the best.
I started by thinking of quotes I liked. I was watching the movie Gladiator the
other night. I love that movie and it has one of my favorite quotes in it What
we do in life echoes in eternity. After watching the movie I decided to use that
quote for my project. Then I had the idea to have someone looking either up at
the stars or walking into the sun. Because of weather I had to go with the latter.
I went at sunset and took the picture. I took a bunch so I had some to choose

A design to be put on stationary with a theme that fallows the

logo

stationery that is consistent with your logo.

Process:

I started with the logo design. I decided to go with an airplane since it was
pretty simple to draw in Illistrator. After I drew the plane I designed the rest of
the logo by adding the companies name. I then broght the logo over to a piece
of staionery. I added the contact info and watermark. In the end I was satisfied
with the outcome.

Process:

I wanted the web page to match the logo. I also wanted it to stay simple. I
used the web page example as a template for my design. I created the basic
layout and made sure I had all my elements. Then I started moving things
around. Eventually I finished and I am happy with the final product.

it stood out.
