Montage

Description: In this assignment we were to learn how to blend two images and create amontage.

Process: I began by brainstorming the type o montage I wanted to create. In the past, Ihad viewed montages as being tacky and something out o a 1980s yearbook. I decidedthat I wanted my montage to look proessional and modern, so I chose to create a tourposter or the band Local Natives. I ound an image o the band in the ocean which inspiredme to look up images o the ocean and waves. I struggled in the beginning because thebackground images that I had chosen o waves and the ocean were very large (3000 pixels)and made the image o the band small in comparison. When I tried to stretch the size o thebands image it came out blurry. Afer I figured out what the problem was, I realized I hadto go back and find a smaller picture o the ocean. I ended up finding one that I liked muchbetter and that blended well with the bands image. I watched several tutorials on how to

blend images and figured out how maskswork. I used a blending brush to erasethe bottom o the bands picture andblend it in with the background oceanimage. I altered the saturation o thebands image so that it blended betterwith the ocean. Ten I added the textto the project.op 3 things learned:1) How to use layers in Photoshop2) Te pixel size o an image is crucial

I used the Polygon ool in Illustrator to create two triangles that I mergedtogether or the first logo and ound a ont that I liked and inserted the word Hello intothe two triangles. I wanted the two triangles that I had merged to represent the letterM or Merch. Tis was the logo I spent the most time on and put the most thoughtinto. In the second logo, I wanted to keep a similar theme as the first one with the varioustriangles and shapes. In the third logo I used the Ellipse tool to create a circle and I usedthe Eyedropper tool to keep the color scheme consistent.

Flier

Description:My COMM130 class was assigned to create a flier using InDesign. I was given several graphics tochoose rom and the text was provided as well. Te overall objective o the assignment was to utilizethe rules o design and typography that we discussed and learned in class.Process:Te first step I took to completing the assignment was creating 4 different sketches. I looked atthe design o several examples that the instructor provided and also skimmed through different

magazines or inspiration. I came across a layout in Vogue magazine that was the ultimate inspirationor this flier. In order to accomplish the design that I was going or, I needed to modiy thephotograph I had chosen. I have never used Photoshop beore, so I went to Youube and watchedseveral tutorials on how to cut out sections o a picture. Afer that, I searched through severalwebsites looking or the best ont to download or the title o my flier. I discovered the ont Airbagand immediately knew that it fit the look I was going or. I think it has the perect combination oyouthulness and proessionalism. Additionally, I had to become accustomed to the different tools inInDesign. I used the ype ool and the Line ool requently in my project.op 3 things learned:1) I learned the importance o editing content. In my draf, I simply copy and pasted the text that wasprovided without really reading through it and there were ultimately multiple grammar and spelling

errors that I had to fix later.2) I learned the importance o peer review. It was helpul not only to get eedback on my own flier, butto listen to the eedback that other students received. I was able to observe things that appeal to othersin a design and keep those thoughts in mind when completing my final draf.3) I learned theimportance o studyingdesign and becomingmore o a visuallyconscious individual.By looking throughvarious magazines whenbrainstorming, I began

to notice the designprinciples.
