develop and produce seed. While food is often a sufficient lure for pollinators,
flowering plants also attract pollinators using a combination of shape, scent, and/

Perennials are flowering or foliage plants whose roots live from year to year. Their tops may or may not
die back in the winter. Perennials give color to the garden in a shady spot and in front of shrubs. They
are colorful in spring and throughout the growing season. Some perennials flower the first year. Usually

Local Company Brand Redesign
Description:
Help a local olive oil business by creating a new
logo to encompass the brand. Then use this logo
on a redesigned business card. Also create 2 so-
cial media ds for them, one for Facebook and one
for a Instagram
Target Audience:
Local olive oil lovers
First Versions Initial Thoughts:
I initially didn’t know where to start on the logo
design but after ideas started flowing it was easi-
er to incorporate the brand messages.
Techniques Used:
I mostly used jmu libraries to help find royal-
ty free images to use. I also used the horizontal
text tool to add text to the images. I also used the
opacity feature in layers to fade the background.
Revisions Made:
On the business card, I changed the spacing. I
made it so the logo was bigger and the main fo-
cus. For the Instagram and Facebook posts, I ad-
justed the text and added a shape. This version of
the business card is better because it allows the
more important information to stand out. The
new version of the social media posts is better
because it is easier to read and it helps your eye
know where to go.
28
First Version
Following a Brand Guide for a Redesign
Description:
Create a new voucher design that aligns with the brand’s
current brand guide.
Target Audience:
The target audience is new pet/cat owners
Initial Thoughts:
Initially, I didn’t really know where to start since the old
one was very different from their current guide. I found
it hard at first trying to incorporate their logos and fonts
since they didn’t actually give us the files. I tried a few
background colors and then stuck with what I thought
looked best.
Techniques Used:
I used the magic wand tool a lot to remove the back-
grounds on their logos and other images. I also used the
horizontal text tool and the rectangle tool.
Revisions Made:
On the back of the card, I changed the spacing a little since
it felt slightly cluttered. I also made the title bigger on the
front of the card. I also made the cat icon bigger. This new
version is better because it allows for better readability. It
also will capture the client’s attention and draw them in.

Description: For more find us at:

I chose to recreate the Duolingo app icon because sometimes when I
go to look for the app I can’t seem to find it amongst my other apps.
Duolingo is an app in which you can learn other languages and com-
pete against your friends. I also noticed that many apps are the first
letter of the company’s name and theirs is just a bird.
Target Audience:
I think that it will help the app stand out more on the home screen and
will engage more users. The target audience will be able to distinguish
the logo better and be more enticed to use the app.
Initial Thoughts:
I had a hard time picking an app to use since most apps have good
distinguishable logos. Once I realized that I wanted to use Duolingo, I
started by looking up their brand kit so I could use the proper colors. I
then imported one of their bird icons because I knew that I wanted to
incorporate it.
Techniques Used:
I used the text tool to create the original D on the artboard. I then used
the pen tool and direct selection tool to edit different paths on the bird
to make it better fit in the shape. I also used swatches to add in the
colors from their brand kit.
Revisions Made:
I used colors from their brand kit and kept their iconic bird on the logo
so that it still resembles their brand image and remains consistent. I
added a thicker stroke around the D. I also adjusted the spacing slight-
ly to make it appear more centered. I also added a thin stroke around
the bird’s body, feet, and wings. The thicker stroke helps to cre-
ate more contrast and allows the D to be more visible from the home
screen. By adding a stroke around the bird it creates more dimension
and is easier to distinguish from the background letter.

2170 Old Furnace Road, Harrisonburg, VA 22802 Description:
Create a print ad and an Instagram ad for the RHSPCA.
These ads must include an image, a call to action, and a
logo. These ads should also remain consistent with their
brand kit.
Target Audience:
The target audience of this project is people local to Harrisonburg
looking to potentially adopt pets.
Initial Thoughts:
I started by revisiting the brand guide and browsing their website for
information. I like their saying “find your new best friends” so I knew
I wanted to include it as the headline for the ads. I then started by
adding the headline and image I wanted to use and then working on
everything else around that.
Techniques Used:
I used the rectangle tool in order to create a background with a bleed for the
print ad. I also used the text tool to create my text. I used the place feature
to insert the images and their logos. I also used the swatches tool to add in
their brand colors.
Revisions Made:
On the print ad, I changed the image that I used to incorporate one that fits
into the design better. Since I changed the image I adjusted the other spac-
ing accordingly. On the Instagram ad I cropped the photo and then adjust-
ed the text spacing. On the Instagram ad, I also changed the headline to all
caps. These versions are better for the client because they should hopefully
better catch the audience’s attention. The image in the print ad’s back-
ground contrasts more and creates a better focal point. For the Instagram
ad, having the headline in all caps should hopefully better stand out on
someone’s feed.
