Spaghetti Dinner
for

Troop 714

Description:
A color full-bleed event ad to advertising a fundraiser using
only Microsoft Word and a scanner.

The Boy Scouts of Troop 714

would like to invite you to their
annual Spaghetti Dinner.

Date:
January 31, 2016

Don't worry the scouts will be well

supervised as they prepare your meal.

This delicious spaghetti dinner will

be served with meatballs, French
bread and salad. We will also have
ice cream for dessert! $25 for
your family.

Objectives:
Find, scan and import a high quality image. Create a full
bleed design and use text boxes for layout in Word. Insert
and edit images in Word.

Be sure to get ahold of a Boy Scout to

make your reservation, before they
call you!

Process:
I scanned the image of the spaghetti, and sketched some
ideas and wrote the body copy, something that would
possibly appear on an advent ad. Using Microsoft Word I
figured out how to create my design after trial and error and
listening to critiques I created the final draft of my ad.

Reserve your space now to enjoy

a night out for a good cause!

Process:
I had fun using Illustrator, the pen tool can be a lot of fun.
I had created three drafts of different ideas and then took
a vote to see which logo was liked the most. Using the pen
tool I was able to refine the look of my chili. I feel it looks
more realistic now. I also worked on my typography fonts
and placement.

Program(s)/Tools:

Adobe Photoshop
Objectives:
Learn basic photography skills. Use a digital camera to take
a quality image and download it. Size and crop the image.
Adjust the brightness, sharpness and colors on layers; design
the text all in Photoshop.
Process:
Using a Sony Cybershot I searched out locations in town
where I could capture an image with the color scheme I
had chose in advance. I pulled up on the side of the road
and stood on my truck so I could take a picture without
the barbwire fence of the airplanes that are on reserve at
Davis Monthan Air Force Base. After reviewing my photos,
I selected this one that includes a bird on top of the plane
that is also resting. I uploaded this into Photoshop, following
advise on the videos provided in the assignment, I played
around with the settings to get try and get familiar with
Photoshop. I wasnt pleased with my draft; thankfully I had
some good advise from the critiques. I decided to put a text
box around my text and use the gradient feature to draw
more attention to the bird. I added my swatches and color
scheme to finish everything off.

Objectives:
Create a new logo to fit a company. Design consistent layouts

I used the rectangle tool to create the front and back outline
of my business card. Then I copied/pasted the logo and
contact information onto this page. I kept the logo and
contact information about the same size as the information
on the letterhead. I made sure that no important information
came any closer than 1/8 from the edges.

how it appeals to the target audience. Design a web page
using HTML to display a logo and content. Acquire a working
knowledge of HTML and a basic understanding of CSS.
Identify hex colors for web design.
Process:
I first inserted my logo image and my body copy. Then I
attached the CSS document to my HTML. I used the colors
from my logo to create the colors on my webpage. I did this by
using the eyedropper tool in Photoshop. I changed my fonts
to Times New Roman and Arial Black. I also selected some
backup fonts in case the viewers browser did not have these
fonts. I also changed the padding around the title of the web
page to be sure that the text was not too close to the border.

Objectives:
Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography.
Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier
layout. Create a project folder with image, logo and InDesign
document to keep links intact.
Process:
After sketching some ideas I selected a photo and logo
provided from the client. I used Adobe InDesign to configure
the flier. Using fonts provided from the software I chose
two fonts that would work together. I created unity with the
gray boxes on the top and bottom of the page to capture the
important body copy. I also aligned the body copy on the
right side of the page to create neatness and uniformity. I feel
this gives a professional look to the flier.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
Objectives:
Set up and align a two-sided, folded document. Learn how to
wrap text around an image. Use paragraph styles in InDesign.
Process:
I set up the layout for the tri-fold brochure in Adobe
InDesign. I selected several photographs that would describe
my brochure and I was sure to select photographs that would
have enough detail and the right amount of pixels. I used the
line tool to divide up my images from my body copy.
For the image of the bicycle wheel I used the magic wand
tool to trace the image and remove the background in Adobe
Photoshop. I then placed the wheel into InDesign where I
used the text wrap option to place the text around the image
of the wheel. I created the logo in Illustrator using the pen
and brush tool and then I placed it into InDesign.

Montage
Description:
An inspirational montage made by the blending of three
images, and the use of typography.
Date:
February 13, 2016
Course/Instructor:
Comm 130 Section 13 - Emily Kunz
Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop
Objectives:
Learn to manage Photoshop layers. Learn to blend
images together smoothly, using masks. Use filters. Apply
appropriate typography.
Process:
First I cropped my background image of the statue to 8.5 x
11 inches. I made a copy of the image to have an original or
my photo. I added the photo of the youth trek and cropped it.
I used the lasso tool to select the group of youth and pulled
them out of the picture and added it to the pioneer statue. I
added a mask and using the brush tool I softened the edges
around the youth. I added a paper background from textures.
com and placed it on top of both images. Using the multiply
selection to create an opacity so my images would show
through. This darkened the images making it possible to read
my body copy. I then put a mask over the texture and poked
a hole over the brightest parts of the statue and the youth to
bring them forward. I added my text and selected the fonts,
styles and sizes on a few select words to create emphasis on
the message.
