broChureIn this project, we were asked to create a brochure of any fold-type of our choice. I decided to go with the offset brochure style, in which part of the content page would be shown on the front page.

Programs/Tools Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign

Objectives Create a personalized Brochure Design

Process I had used Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop Elements to create the brochure. Using the basic pen tool, I created a logo in Illustrator and transfered it over to InDesign, in which I made the brochure layout with many shape tools. I finally finished off the brochure by creating a basic digital copy of the brochure’s front, inside, and back.

letterheadThis project involved a lot of studying to see what letterheads looked good and try and emulate our own design ideas into a letterhead that could be usable in the industry.

Objectives Create a letterhead using a logo design

Process To start the project off, I had to think of a logo design I wanted. It took a while, but I came up with a logo I liked. I then had to create a simple format for a letterhead that was both appealing and non-obtrusive.

Programs/Tools Notepad and HTML5

Objectives Learning how to do HTML 5 Formatting

Process The only program I used for this project was Notepad. Having been given the basic code for CSS and HTML, I edited it in notepad to fit my needs a bit more and finished it off by saving the .txt file as a .html file instead.

Objectives Create a business card based off a logo

Process Much like the Letterhead and Website, I used the logo shown to the right. I then studied business cards and how they looked, and created a minimalistic design that was easy to read and have proper information to a client, if I were to ever use the business card.

Objectives Edit an image in utilize in a design

Process Having taken a good portion of time, I found a good spot to take a picture. After I took the picture, I edited it in photoshop, giving it vibrance and focus. I then found a color scheme that worked well with the picture and created a composition based on what I took a picture of.
