BrochureDescription: A trifold brochure advertising a company.
Date:December 5th, 2015
Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 01Kory Kerr
Programs/Tools:Adobe InDesign
Objectives:Set up and align a two sided documentLearn how to use paragraph styles in InDesign
Process:I used InDesign to put it all together. I set up a brochure fold line on the document so I knew where to place the images and captions. I then added text boxes, filled them in and added a line around them. Pictures were place where needed and then came the typography. I played around with several different fonts and even downloaded a few off the internet for the final product. All of the titles I filled in with red and outlined in white. I used the paragraph style format to make sure all writing did not have any sort of hyphens and looked clean and professional.
Description: Logo for a clothing line.
Date:October 30th, 2015
Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 01Kory Kerr
Programs/Tools:Adobe Illustrator
Objectives:Create three variations of an original logo to fit a company.Market research: gather opinions from at least ten people about which logo appeals most to them.Use only the Illustrator tools to create and draw logoProcess:First, I looked at some logos to receive a feel for my project. I sketched out about seven different designs for logos. I went online to fontsquirrel.com and downloaded a few different fonts as well to help complete my designs. Using Illustrator, I created three different logos. After receiving critiques and votes, I took my personal favorite (which was also the public’s personal favorite as well) and edited it in three different ways. I also, applied some suggestions from my critique to the initial design to help it look more appealing.

FlierDescription: Black and White flier to publicize a meeting about a leadership training conference.
Date:October 4th, 2015
Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 01Kory Kerr
Programs/Tools:Adobe InDesign
Objectives:Apply design principles and rules of typography.Show basic skills of InDesign
Process:I was given the information, logo and a few pictures to choose from to create the flier. First, I drew some sketches to get an idea for the flier. Afterwards, I used Adobe Photoshop to take out the busy background of the picture I was using. For the title, I bolded and enlarged the word I wanted to pop out the most and catch attention. Using different shades of boxes, I drew attention to questions that would draw the person in. I left white space and placed the text in a way the person would glance at it back and forth across the page like a zig zag.
Event AdDescription: A full bleed color Ad made in Microsoft Word.

Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 01Kory Kerr

Objectives:Understand Image Sizing (pixels, inches etc)Scan photo onto pageUse Word only
Process:First, I scanned a picture onto my computer. After saving it, I copied and pasted it onto a word document. Using text boxes, I added text about the event onto the page. To color the title and the price, I used the dropper to match the colors to the picture of the boy’s shorts and t-shirt.
MontageDescription:The use of blending two or more images together and exercising my knowledge of Typography and design.

Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 01Kory Kerr
Programs/Tools:Adobe Photoshop
Objectives:Blend two or more pictures together using masksApply filters using masks
Process:First, I cropped a picture of bamboo and used a an adjustment layer to change it’s color. Second, I took a picture of Audrey Hepburn and by using a mask, I was able to cut out her and a couple other kids. I then added some type in white font. Afterwards, I used a grey box in the background to make the words easier to read.

Programs/Tools:Adobe Photoshop
Objectives:Lean basic photography skillsLearn editing photo in photoshop
Process:First, I took a picture of my roommate. Then, using Photoshop, I used the editing of vibrance etc to create a more eye appealing picture. After saving it, I applied it to a flier on in design. Using the color scheme I selected before the photo, I was able to create color swatches to match. I chose fonts that worked well together. As a finishing touch, I created triangles using the polygon tool.

Course/Instructor:Comm 130 Section 01Kory Kerr
Programs/Tools:Adobe IllustratorAdobe InDesign
Objectives:Learn to have a simple designCreate a logo by scratch
Process:I created the logo by using Illustrator. I basically created shapes with the shape tool and overlapped them over each other. Opening InDesign, I placed my logo upon the page. While editing and figuring out how the page should look, I had to fix the logo. Some of it needed an outline or change the sizes of the different shapes to accommodate to the stationery.
