This project was done in Adobe Illustrator. The process of building these logos was through typography, colors,

different things to bring out the center so that it was the first thing that you see.

more well blended images.

The steps I took to make my montage:
1. I found a spiritual quote that I liked
2. I found photos that I thought would go well with my quote.
3. I placed a hill with trees in photoshop
4. I placed a sky image and used the brush tool to make them blend together.
5. I placed a photo of a woman with her back to the camera and blended them together until it looked like one
whole image.
6. I also used editing tools like levels and vibrance on each image.
7. I looked for fonts that I would like to use for my project and downloaded them from dafonts.com

Description:
A full-color bleed event advertisement made from a scanned image
and Microsoft Word.

Process:
I first formulated a plan for my event ad by sketches and focusing on the message that I was trying to get across
and the audience I was trying to reach out to. I then looked for an image that I felt I could use to perceive
fashion and style. I scanned that image onto the computer. I proceeded to only use Microsoft word to make an
event ad for Red Cross and Rue 21. I used the visual focus color wheel to pull my colors from to make a pattern
that would be appealing. I used two different fonts to really catch my audiences eye.

Objective:
Learn basic photography skills. Choose a color scheme, take a photo to match those colors, then incorporate
the colors into the layout. Use a digital camera to take a quality image, then download it. Adjust image levels,
saturation, color balance, sharpen tool on separate layers for NDE (non-destructive editing.) Size and crop
the image, then place on an 8.511 page layout. Use layers to design text, and repeating graphic elements in
Photoshop. Print with full-bleed margins. Trim only 1/8 (0.125) from all four sides.
Programs:
Adobe Photoshop

Description:
This project demonstrates high quality photography and image
editing skills and the ability to pick and match a color scheme in a
full bleed poster.

Process:
In this project, I used a digital camera to take the picture. I used indoor lighting and the light from outside to
capture a good photo. I used the rule of thirds to create a photo that had good composition. I developed the
new skill of photoshop to develop the colors that I wanted to be stronger. I used a triadic color scheme to draw
attention from my audience. I sketched my ideas before I started my project to know how I wanted to get my
message across. I left plenty of negative space so that I would create simplicity in my poster.

Description:
Black & white flier to promote the graduate leadership conference
put on by vouant communications.

Process:
I created this flier in InDesign. I used tools like rectangles, color, and text tools. I started this project by sketching
out ideas for my flier that I could use. I then followed the template of my sketch to get the main idea for my
flier. I had many people look at my flier to see what made sense and what I needed to simplify and unite.
