MONTAGE
Date: Oct. 20, 2015
Description: This is a spiritual montage. The man is burdened by the pain of worldly
sorrow with the hands of God holding him.

Process: I started with prayer, then started sketching unit I felt creative. I used

Photoshop to create this montage. I used the brush tool to blend the two images, I used
the burn tool to darken the mans hair. I held several critique sessions to get the opinions
of others.
Message: No matter what we are going through, whatever pain or sorrows we feel, we
are in his watchful eyes and gentle hands.
Audience: Anyone that is looking for peace and comfort. Gods love is unto all of
his children.

Top Thing Learned: I learned how to carefully blend and use contrasting colors to
really bring out the text.

Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I applied a change to the

hands using a change in saturation and hue. I also gave an outer glow to the text along
with a drop shadow and gradient overlay.
Color scheme and color names: I used a monochromatic color scheme using a darker
brown and softening to a lighter brown.

Logos
Date: Oct. 27, 2015
Description: I designed this logo for my wifes Etsy Website. My wife sells all types of

critiqued my work.

stretch of the word, but with AI I was able to create this tasteful logo. I feel confident
I could create a logo for anyone now. I also learned that great logos have great people
performing the critiques. I also became more familiar with color schemes and contrasting
fonts.

the world. Its a thankless job and I thought this would be a vibrant way to remind us.

things with it. I also learned a lot about color schemes.

Event Ad
Date: Oct. 6, 2015
Description: This is a full-bleed ad for a fundraising event created using only Microsoft
Word.

Process: I always sketch before I start designing, it helps me get my brain working. I

found the picture in the May, 2015 Cosmopolitan. The moment I saw this strong woman
in boxing gloves I new how I wanted the design to look. However, after a couple of critique
sessions, I had to make some changes. I used text boxes and shapes to create this ad.

Audience: Women and anyone willing to fight for a good cause.

white added.

all who offered time to critique this ad. I really appreciate the insight.

Flier
Date: Oct. 3, 2015
Description: Black and white flier promotion for graduate leadership conference
Process: First, I had to get my brain juices flowing by sketching out some design ideas.
The image, logo, and text were given to me to use for this flier. I started by situating my
text in Adobe InDesign. Once I felt good about the positioning of the text I placed the logo
and image. I brought the message to the forefront by boldly contrasting white on black.
Alignment was crucial for this flier to look just right. In the body copy I used bold caps to
bring out the message I wanted for the audience.
Message: I wanted graduates to know what they could expect to gain by attending this
conference.
Audience: Graduates and graduating seniors.
Top things learned: Alignment creates a clean, crisp, professional look.
