4Programs Used: PhotoshopDate: February 14, 2015Course & Instructor:Comm 130 with Brother JudkinsObjective: Create an ad using masking tools. Be able to combined two photos together and stray from making a tacky overdone photo. Process:Masking tools and grey scale balances were the main criteria and editing tools used. I took two photos and hid the background with the flag and lightened it up a bit to show the tank. I decided to stick the soldier out and make sure he was an emphasis. When it came to the quote finding the right typography was a struggle. I edited with the shadow to make it pop so it would not be lost in the background I also right aligned to add alignment with the tank.

6brochureProgram Used: Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Date: March 27, 2015Course & Instructor:Comm 130 with Brother JudkinsObjectives:Make a brochure to sell the experience of Kauai. Gain an experience with InDesign to make a professional project. Process:I made the logo in illustrator with the Pen tool; I edited the photos I took in Hawaii in Photoshop. (The funny thing is I got complimented on these photos and I took them with an IPod.) I used a tape measure on paper to be able to convert this in InDesign and make life easier when I went to print. I placed everything in the document at random and then changed everything that was black to red to add a pop of color. Last, I used pen tool to make the lines I was to cut to make my project into a surfboard.

Why go to Kauai?Kauai Hawaii or the garden island is the 4th largest island of Hawaii. It is nicknamed the Garden Island because Kauai sees Rainfall every single day; So much that It is actually the wettest place on earth. Since the Garden Island only has one road stretching from North to west but not circling all the way around the Garden Island is perfect for the adventurous type, and the more laid back person.Where to go? Located on the west side is Waimea Canyon. This is the Grand Canyon of the Pacific with thousand foot cliffs, waterfalls, and many hiking trails waiting to be conquered. At the other end of the road on the North end of the Island is the Napali Coast that is one of the must sees of the world. People come from all over the world to hike the beautiful Kalalau Trail. Where to relax? If cliff jumping and hiking is not really a must the beaches located any direction you walk. (It is an island) Some of the best beaches in the world are found on Kauai. Places like the Hanalei pier, Queenss bath, and Tunnels beach are for relaxing and site seeing.What to Eat? Do not forget the food on your Hawaii vacation! Puka Dogsas seen on the traveling channelcan only be found in Kauai. Fresh Fish tacos, Poke, and Chicken Katsu are island favorites. If you are really trying to live like a local, head to 7-11 for some cheap grub and grab a Spam Musubi. Last but not least you cant come to Hawaii and not have Shave Ice. So grab shave ice on every stop through out the island.

8Buisness CardProgram Used: InDesign and Illustrator. Date: February 28, 2015Course & Instructor:Comm 130 with Brother JudkinsObjective: Create a stationery kit for my dad. Learn how to turn a logo into a unique business card. Process:I used logos from the week previous in Illustrator and combined my select favorites and matched the color schemes. I originally had the S Centered and then I had the idea to turn it! I also added the watermark of the one logo to keep white space but to also add a bit of design to the element.

LetterheadProgram Used: InDesign and IllustratorDate: February 28, 2015Course & Instructor:Comm 130 with Brother JudkinsObjective: Have something for my dads company to write notes on and give feed back or receipt. I think the letterhead is a great professional look and I learned how to create stationeries.Process:I added a watermark and just random boxes to create something simple and elegant. The funny thing about this is the kid and tutor next to me and saw mine and followed it to a T. I know it is already generic but I was kind of excited that they used mine as a guide to make their letterhead look good.

LogosPrograms Used: Illustrator. Date: February 21, 2015Course & Instructor:Comm 130 with Brother JudkinsObjective: Create Logos for class that will be professional. Not over done and far from to complex. Learning to be simple but not like a kindergarten-er could do it. Process: I used the shapes and pathfinder to unify and organize the let-ters and industrial flusher. I used typography to really get the logos as a whole piece that flowed and stood out. I messed around a lot with the color schemes.

Photo DesignPrograms Used: PhotoshopDate: April 1, 2015Course & Instructor:Comm 130 with Brother JudkinsObjective: Create a color scheme and ad with photos you have taken and edited.Process: Finding photo inspiration in Rexburg is not a thing for me. I did originally edit a photo and used pen tool to create a flow on the side of my photo. The photo was awful as well. I decided to redo the project and take a photo from Hawaii because the quality was not only better but also the color scheme was more prominent. I added boxes and used the dropper tool to match colors in the photo. I edited the photo with hue, saturation, and cropped that photo to make sure it was aligned correctly. I popped the greens and sharpened the elements a bit. Remembering masking tools after not using Photoshop in weeks was hard.

Project FlierPrograms Used: InDesignDate: January 23, 2015Course & Instructor:Comm 130 with Brother JudkinsObjective: Create a Graduate Leadership Conference Flier that is different and professional. Process:Saved everything into a file on the desktop. Cropped the photo to add lines and the side element. Turned all the text sideways to have better white space in my element. Moved the title to get rid of angles. Shrank the logo to know who the event is being held by. Popped the color against the white t-shirt to make sure there is still white space but that it would stand out form the text. Emphasized Conference to draw someones attention to the event.
