Event Ad
Description: This flier is intended to get families to attend
this picnic in the park

Date: 1.31.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: Word
Objective: Scan a picture and design an event flier utilizing
that picture using only Word.

Process: At first I started off with this picture and then I had

the idea to have the event be a picnic and I thought it would

be a great idea to have my background look like a checkered
picnic blanket. That took me a lot more time than I thought
it would but that had more to do with making sure that my
lines were lining up and working the way I wanted them to. I
had to figure out which size of the boxes would work with my
text boxes and picture and that was more meticulous than I
had originally planned on.

Montage
Description: Create a spiritual poster montage using pictures
and a quote.

Date: 2.14.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: Photoshop
Objective: To work more with Photoshop and the layers and
maksing tools.

Process: I really enjoyed this project after inspiration hit. I

tried looking at pictures and seeing if I liked the way anything

fit together (I didnt) and then I switched to looking at quotes/
sayings that I potentially wanted to use. After I found a few
that I liked, I thought about them and went back to looking
at pictures and quite honestly waited for inspiration to hit
and that is when this happened and I am happy with it. I used
Photoshop to brighten up the background picture a little bit
and then just put a mask over the two hands.

Logo
Description: Create three logos for a company.
Date: 2.21.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: Illustrator
Objective: Use Illustrator to create three different logos for a
company.

Process: I honestly had no idea where to start with this project

so I just started making shapes and thats how I got my first
design. As I did my first design I saw that it looked like an L
and I decided to run with that idea and base my company
around it. Once I knew what idea I was going to go with then
it was a lot easier to come up with the concepts for my next
two logo designs. I know that the color wheel is important but
I didnt like the way any of them looked with my design and
I was too committed to my design to change. I know that the
first design looks a little strange but I think that is why I like
it more. And I just used the circle tools to make all the other
shapes of the lollipops except for the one stick on the second
design where I used a rounded rectangle.

Flier
Description: This flier is designed to attract the attention of

graduating seniors in order to try and get them to come to this

conference.

Date: 1.24.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: InDesign
Objective: Create a graduate conference flier, picking from
pictures already taken and proofreading the text that was
given.

Process: I started off with lots of different ideas in my head

and not knowing which one to execute but things got a lot
easier once I started putting my ideas down and actually
seeing how things could look. The sketches that I did
provided me with a good framework but I liked seeing how
it would look more in real life than just sketched out. While
using InDesign I made an effort to make sure that things
maintained an appropriate balance without being exactly
symmetrical. I used black lines to kind of split up all the text
so that it isnt all jumbled together. I also chose the picture I
did so that it looks like she is reaching for the information.

Brochure
Description: A brochure showcasing a company.
Date: 3.28.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: InDesign

Objective: Create a brochure showing off a company, either

real or invented.

Process: First I started with the idea of using the first letters

of my roommatess names and came up with GRAMME. Then

since we all met by living in the same apartment I decided to
create a realty business that we all work at. I used InDesign to
make the shape of the house and create the various shapes like
the lines on the house and the circle that our company name is
in. The pictures dont show it too well but the brochure opens
down the middle.

Webpage
Description: Webpage design with a logo and description.
Date: 3.14.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: Illustrator

Objective: Learn CSS and HTML text, create a logo

using Illustrator and incorporate logo and company into
webpage.
Process: I started with making my logo with Illustrator

and used the rectangle tool to make the camera outline and
then used the circle tool to make the lens. I used the type
tool to make all the words on it and then put a shadow on
it to make it all more dimensional.

Business Card
Description: Make business cards for a company.
Date: 2.28.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: Illustrator | InDesign
Objective: Create business cards and a letterhead for a
company, either real or invented.

Process: I decided to go with a new company instead of

using one of my other logos. I started with my familys

business of building pools. For the business cards I liked
the idea of the water creating waves so I ran with it. I used
the circle tool to create the wave shapes in the water.

Letterhead
Description: Make a letterhead for a company.
Date: 2.28.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: Illustrator | InDesign
Objective: Create a letterhead for a company, either real
or invented.

Process: I decided to go with a new company instead of

using one of my other logos. I started with my familys

business of building pools. I started off with the letter head
and that wasnt too hard, I tried to let my creative juices out
for a bit and came up with the pool design on the bottom
with the plants and waterfall.

Photodesign
Description: Demonstrate good photography and editing skills.
Date: 2.7.2015
Course/Instructor: COMM 130 | Brother Judkins
Programs/Tools: Photoshop
Objective: Create an inspirational flier with a picture I took.
Process: I started out with this picture of my roommate that

had a glaring red background behind it and played around

with the different colors until I found complementary ones.
I used the rectangle feature to make my own boxes and then
played around with their placement until I found one I really
liked.
