Web Page
Date: 16 November 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Create a mockup of a professional web page.
Description: This is a web page mock-up for the website of Nichole Mallett Make-up Artistry.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop
Background: This mockup was created for a web page for a make-up artistry business. My goal was to create a web page that was clean, simple and elegant, to match the style and feel of the business. I believe the photos are one of the most important parts of this page because when searching for a look or a potential make-up artist, photographs are the best representation of the artists work.
Photo Design
Date: 12 October 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Create a photo design using my own photo with focus on following a color scheme and using different design elements.
Description: This is a photo showcasing Zion National Park in the fall.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop
Background: I really wanted to capture fall in this photo design. I love the red rocks and the fall colors at Zion National Park and this was an opportunity to showcase them. I chose an analgous fall color scheme, drawing from the brick red of the rocks, the brown of the river and the gold of the fall leaves.
Montage
Date: 19 October 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Create a montage that combines two images and communicates a spritual theme.
Description: This is a montage of the Virgin River and giving hands.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop
Background: I had a beautiful picture of a river that I had taken and it felt like it already had a spritual theme within it, so I designed around the theme of giving, quoting the popular primary song “Give said the little stream.” The hardest part about this project was making the text readable. It seemed that every color I chose made it blend in with the river or the light. I tried many different color and landed on a color I thought worked best.
Brochure
Date: 30 November 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Create a full bleed, colored folding brochure for a business.
Description: This is a brochure for WM Technologies, focused around recruitment.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Indesign
Background: I chose to create a recruiting brochure for a fake business I created. As this brochure is meant to be used a recruiting tool, the sections are short and grabbing with eye-catching pictures to draw readers in. This is a two-fold offset brochure. The difficult part of this design was to make things readable with the color scheme and background I chose.

Logo
Date: 26 October 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Create a logo for a business using only the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.
Description: This is the logo for Nichole Mallett Make-up.
Tools: Adobe Illustrator
Background: This project was one of the most difficult for me to accomplish. Creating logos was difficult for me at first and this was also my first time using Adobe Illustrator. I chose to create a logo for a make-up artist business that was simple and clean, which I believe I accomplished. The tan circle is meant to represent splotch of make-up.

Business Cards
Date: 26 October 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Utilizing a logo I created, design two-sided business cards.
Description: This is the business card for Nichole Mallett Make-up.
Tools: Adobe Indesign & Adobe Illustrator
Background: To keep with the theme of the logo, I did not want the card to be too busy. I wanted it to remain elegant, simple and professional. All icons were also created by me using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator and then the card was design in Indesign.

Letterhead
Date: 26 October 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Utilizing a logo I created, design a letterhead for a business.
Description: This is the letterhead for Nichole Mallett Make-up.
Tools: Adobe Indesign
Background: I used the repetiton of the tan splotch in logo in my letterhead design to create unity. It follows suit in keeping with the simple and clean theme of the logo, just as the business cards do. The watermark is set to 30% and looks as I designed it when it is printed.

Magazine Cover
Date: 28 September 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Design a magazine cover featuring me, with headlines describing me.
Description: This is a magazine cover showcasing myself.
Tools: Adobe Indesign
Background: This was the first project I did using Indesign. I chose to go with a bold red monochromatic color scheme. I tried to use shapes to catch attention and give focus to certain headlines. I also used my line of sight in the photo to lead the reader through the cover.
Coding
Date: 2016-11-10Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Create a web page using HTML and CSS about the business logo designed in a priori project.
Description: This is a web page based around the logo for Nichole Mallett Make-up.
Tools: TextWrangler
Background: The logo created for this business is meant to give a clean simple feel, so it was my goal to communicate the same feel on the web page. I did not go overboard, I focused on being a minimalist. The challenge in this project laid in the font style. I had chosen a font style for the logo that only looks good in the logo - not on a web page. However, in order to conform to not using too many fonts, I used the font anyway.
Prezi
Date: 5 October 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Create a 10-15 frame presentation, using the Prezi tool, about any subject.
Description: This is a prezi presentation about the ecosystems of Brazil.
Tools: Prezi Presentation
Background: I chose to do a presentation on a subject that would allow me to jump around a map, so I chose the ecosystems of Brazil. The presentation jumps into each ecosystem according to where it is located in Brazil and presents the plant and animal life of that ecosystem. The error I made on this was not using a high enough resolution picutre as my main background frame.
Infographic
Date: 2 November 2016Course: Comm 130:16Instructor: Sister Rodriguez
Objective: Design an infographic on any subject.
Description: This is an infographic focused on Studen Debt in America.
Tools: Adobe Illustrator
Background: I chose to design an infographic on a serious epidemic in the United States, student loan debt. The most difficult part of this design was to present so much information effectively completely through graphics without becoming overwhelming of confusing. I chose to communicate my research through short text graphics to grab the readers attention.
