Course/Instructor COMM 130 Visual Design / Cory Kerr

Objectives Create a unified layout with consistent theme and message using two or more blended images, including at least one mask.

Process A picture of the sun was applied over the empty sky in the original picture, and a layer mask was used to get rid of everything but the sun and a beam of light. A picture of snow was lightly applied to the picture in order to add texture and further develop the clouds. The last step was in applying the words and then adding low-opacity white behind the black letters and low-opacity black behind the pink letters in blossomed in order to make them easier to read.

Description Three logo variations for the same fictional nonprofit, created in Adobe Illustrator.

Date 2/21/2015


Objectives Create three unique, original logos that will appeal to the intended audience, using only Illustrator tools.

Process Clip art of a chair was traced over with anchor points. The legs were drawn down, especially the leftmost leg, which had a round shape added to the end to make a musical note. Rounded rectangles were used to create the hands of the second logo, and the leg and rounded end in the first logo were reused for the note. For the third logo Lucida was used for the base of the larger letters. Additional shapes were added to thicken certain lines and dash through the C in order to make both resemble musical notes.

Description A webpage designed to display and describe a logo of my own design, created in Notepad++.

Date 3/13/2015


Objectives Using HTML and CSS, create a webpage to display a previously-created logo.

Process After validating the webpage in its html-only form, I added CSS and proceeded to match the page to the preexisting color scheme. Gold was originally going to be used for the borders and header banner, and then for text in the header. Even after replacing the former with black, however, the gold still didnt fit anywhere and was replaced by white.

Process Asymmetry was used in the relation between the banjos, which causes the eye to run up and down the two. Some of the formatting was also influenced by the relation of the text tothe lefthand banjo. Complementary color was used not only to make the banjos stand out but also to highlight information or noteworthy information.

Date 2/28/2015


Objectives Create a new logo and design a consistent layout for a letterhead design. Keep the design simple and include contact information.

Process The sun was created by making a circle shape and chopping it in half. Rays were created with rectangles and rotated around a single point. The sun, with its green base (representing the horizon) was the logo proper, and was turned into a 5% opacity watermark at the bottom. A solid line was set behind the horizon to stretch across the page to connect to the contact information.

Date 2/28/2015


Objectives Using the letterhead logo, create a simple design for a business card, including all relevant contact information.

Process A solid red line travels down from the horizon in order to provide alignment for the test. A company slogan was provided in order to fill up white space. Green and red text were used for the font in order to blend with the red line (contact info) or stand out (the name).

Business Card

Description A flyer advertising a business conference, produced in Adobe Photoshop.

Date 1/23/2015


Objectives Apply design principles, appropriate typography, and InDesign skills to create a basic flier.

Process After trying out several combinations it seemed that the images weight should be put on the right side of the flyer. Small circles trace the imaginary line from the figures eyes to the bolded question. Circles are used elsewhere for additional information beyond the initial sell. These circles are aligned with each other and with the logo in the lower-right corner, which diagonally opposes the largest and most noticeable circle.
