    Business cardThis buisness card was made for the company Maggies

    Paradise. This company sells speaker acessories formagnepan speakers.

    Using that as my starting point i designed this logoto look like the M was two sixteenth notes and theP was a half note. I added the bars on top to bereminicent of sheet music, while not being blatent

    about it.

    Color Scheme: monochromatic red, the companycolors.

    LetterheadThis letterheafd is for the company Maggies Paradise.

    As will all leterheads, I had to leave room to write, soI kept this simple. Logo on the top, with contact infor-mation. A nice watermark that is faded so it is not dis-tracting, and a few lines to bring it all together.

    Color Sceme: Monochomatic Red

    Font: Minion Pro

    MontageThis Montage it a motivational poster for a quote from

    Dr. Suess. why t in when you were born to standout? I think it is a wonderful quote and I want to beable to visually communicate the same thing.

    I started with the quote and the idea I wanted a crowdwith someone with bright colored clothing in it. I foundone, but it was not crowded enough. So I took two

    other images of crowds and blended them in multipletimes. Then I made a mask around the woman in red,setting everything else to black and white using amonochomatic lter.

    LogosThese logos are for a dark fantasy game. I chose theselogos because they seemed to me like they were fun-looking (because the game it fun) and because theycommunicate that it would be a fantasy/adventuregame.

    I made all of these with adobe illustrator. I used thefunction that lets me convert text to shapes in order tohave an easier time working with it. I mostly used addand subtract to make my shapes.

    Color Schemes and Color Names:Top: Monochromatic red

    Middle: complementary green and red

    Bottom: It started as a split complementary with brickpurple and green, but people liked it more without thebrick color.

    Three sets of Title / Body Font Names & Categories:

    Sword logo: Georgia (oldsyle)

    Leaf logo: none

    Monster logo: bookman old style (oldstyle)

    Personally, my favorite logo is the bottom one, with

    the monster G.

    Web pageThis is a website just showing off my logo and explain-ing the process of making it.

    I used notepad++ and drive notepad to make the code. Ilearned most of my coding from codeacadamy.com andw3schools.com. I would change little pieces of codeand immediately look at them in chrome. Repeatingthis over and over gave me this website. My wordcountended up being 299 for the bodycopy ( 300 if you in-clude the text in the logo).

    This website is suopposed to draw attention to the logoand make it look as good as possible by using the samecolors.

    Color scheme and color hex: split complementary(minus one color because bick did not look good onthe website, but purple and green did). Dark green:#002200, light green: #557755, grey #cccccc, purple#330033.

    FlierA simple ier for a Graduate Leadership Conference

    I started with some sketches; I then transitioned mysketch into Adobe InDesign. I worked on that designuntil I had a stroke of inspiration and regrouped mydesign to make a more interesting design. Originally,the black slanted box was on top of the image, but Iswitched the black box to the other side so that I couldhave some white space in the middle.

    I made some minor Changes after I got feedback from

    my peers.I am trying to inform graduates about theleadership conference. I want to seem professional, butnot boring.

    I used a Nikon camera to take the image outside myapartment. I was able to achieve a shallow focus withthe camera, making a really nice sepertation betweensubject and background.

    I used Abobe Photoshop to edit it. I created multipleshapes and masks to create the layered effect you see inthe nal design.
