StationaryDescriptionThis project was the creation of a new logo to create a letterhead with contact information.

Course/InstructorVisual Media Comm 130 Section 11Emily Kunz

Objectives Use the basic tools in Illustrator & InDesign. Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image. Use the new logo to design consistent layouts for a letterhead. Letterhead should be 8.5 x 11, full-bleed optional, but trim only .125. Apply typography rules, keeping small copy. Keep designs simple with light watermarks.

ProcessFirst I started with the logo creation in Adobe Illustrator. After I created the logo, I went over to Adobe InDesign a linked my AI logo over into my InDesign document. I found a stucco texture image and placed it on top of the background purple. I went into Effects and did an overlay, and changed the opacity of the stucco and purple/blue to 50%. I added the text and information. I aligned it with the top point of the house with the name. I placed a larger image of the logo at the bottom and changed the opacity to 17% so that it would be a light watermark at the bottom of the page.

Objectives Use the basic tools in Illustrator & InDesign. Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image. Use the new logo to design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead. Business card should be 3.5 x 2 Apply typography rules, keeping small copy. Keep designs simple with light watermarks and drop shadows and plenty of white space.

ProcessI followed the same principles to create unity between the business card and letterhead. I had to adjust the size of the text to align it better with the logo. Originally the text was hanging below the logo and it looked off. In working with a background color, and linking the logo, it is essential to create layers. If I had not used layers in InDesign, it would have been very difficult to line the stucco texture, get the right color with the watermark on top of it. Working with layers is an essential function to designing any piece.

Course/InstructorVisual Media COMM 130 Section 11Emily Kunz

Objectives Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web page Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and how it appeals to a target audience. Acquire a working knowledge of HTML. Acquire a working knowledge of CSS. Identify hex colors to match logo, using Photoshop color picker.

ProcessI used Notepad ++ to format the basic layout of the web page. I changed the CSS so that it was unified throughout the page. I also went into Photoshop to pick the correct colors to match the logo and create unity within the web page. The colors were identified Photoshop and the hex numbers were brought over to my CSS and HTML files. Appropriate heading, font choices and lists were used to create the HTML document. As well as, linking images and websites.

BrochureDescriptionTo create a brochure using a chosen layout, a trifold.

ProgramsAdobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign

Date CompletedMarch 28, 2015


Objectives Set up and align a two-sided, folded document. Create an original, new logo and use it in a brochure. Incorporate quality images. One should be clipped in Photoshop and text-wrapped in InDesign so the text follows the cutout shape of the image. Write original copy in at least three paragraphs, headers, and sub-headers. Trim for a full bleed and print in duplex (two-sided) color.

ProcessI created a simple logo that communicated an effective message in Illustrator. Then I created my trifol brochure design in InDesign. I created the curved shaped with the pen tool and went to color.adobe.com and picked some good purple shades that would go well with the light purple the client wanted. I used a picture of Zen stones, and used the quick selection in Photoshop to delete the background by using a mask. I inserted it into InDesign and did a text wrap by going to Window>Text Wrap>Wrap around and object or shape>Alpha Channel and increased the space around the stones.

DescriptionThis design was created after shooting an original photo and creating a design with an appropriate quote.

ProgramsAdobe Photoshop



Objectives Learn basic photography skills. Adjust image levels, saturation, color balance, sharpen tool on separate layers for NDE (non-destructive editing.) Size and crop the image, then place on an 8.511 page layout. Use layers to design text, and repeating graphic elements in Photoshop. Print with full-bleed margins.

ProcessI used a Canon Powershot SX30IS to capture the sunrise. It was important to do choose a time with good lighting. I then went in and used Adobe Photoshop to edit and create the poster using non-destructive editing. I used the tetradic color scheme to use throughout my design. The yellow and orange ellipses show through the lower opacity of the photo. The colors were also repeated in the color swatches at the bottom. I kept the swatches as circles to mimic more of the sun shape in the sunrise. I used the warp text tool to arch the text to align with the ellipses and create the feeling of being in the sunrise.

Course/InstructorVisual Media Comm130 Section11Emily Kunz

Objections/Skills Unify a layout with a consistent theme and dominant spiritual message Learn to blend two or more images together gradually, using masks Demonstrate more advanced Photoshop skills for layout with multiple elements Use a mask to apply a filter to one part of the image Apply typography principles (titles, quotes, events or scripturesyour choice) Format type: Legibility; Small copy & Title with varying text size. Theme word(s) Select good quality images

ProcessI cropped the background image of the nebula to 8.511. I added the stars photo and used 50% opacity to have the stars and nebula blend together. With the black paint, I brushed on about 30% opacity to blend the two images. The then placed the door picture and blended it with a lower opacity. I repeated the process until I had the desired effect that I wanted. I added two contrasting typefaces to emphasize the words in the quote that I wanted to.

LogosDescriptionTo create a set of 3 different logos for Bea Beautiful Photography.

ProgramsAdobe Illustrator



Objections/Skills Create three completely different, original logos to fit a company or personal image that will appeal to the audience. Do not imitate existing logos or use previous designs. Use only the Illustrator tools to create and draw your logos.

ProcessFor the first logo, I used the pencil tool to create the name Bea in one motion. I then used two text boxes to line up underneath. I colored beautiful" in a lush green color. For the second logo I created the flower by using the ellipse tool and creating different shaped ellipses. I then made two circles for the two circles and colored one violet and the outside circle gray. I made two text boxes and then used the Arc tool to bend the words around the circle for the name. For the 3rd logo, I created some rectangles using the rounded rectangle tool I made a text box with the B and then created a circle underneath and colored it gold. I then created two text boxes to put "beautiful photography" underneath the camera image.

FlierDescriptionTo create a flier using predetermined information and images.

ProgramsAdobe InDesign

Date CompletedJanuary 24, 2015


Objectives Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography. Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier layout. Retrieve image and logo from links on this page. Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesign document to keep links in InDesign intact.

ProcessThe first thing I did was create 4 sketches, and I picked the one I felt was the best. I used Abobe InDesign to mock up my sketch. I created corner brackets to center important information, and create repeating elements within the design. I left white space to create an asymmetrical balance that would help my piece flow from image to text. I tried to keep the design simple to create a professional feel. It is a company that is training college graduates to become leaders. It should feel clean and professional. The image, body copy, and logo were all provided.

Event AdDescriptionAn event ad created for an charity run to create awareness for the 5k run.

ProgramMicrosoft Word

Date CompletedJanuary 31, 2015


Objectives Comprehend image sizing (how pixels and inches work together) Find, scan and import a high-quality image. Create a full-bleed design. Choose a color scheme and typeface(s) that work for your message and audience.

ProcessI used grouping to group the title, then images, and finally the even information at the bottom. I believe that it creates the right message for the audience, while creating a nice flow to the design. I used white space at the bottom to provide more focus to the event information. By suggestion of Sister Kunz, I grouped the runner with the image of the temple to create the unity of the message Temple Run.
