Brochure
This brochure was designed to present myseld, my art
portfolio and my skills.
For this brochure I used my sketchbook, Illustrator,
InDesign, and Photoshop to design and compile my
brochure all together.
The purpose of this brochure was to display my art
portfolio broadly to show my work and my skills
with a brief biography. I wanted it to be professional
like a resume but still creative and fun.

Business Card
My business card (front and back) for my personal
business called Shine On.
In this process to create my business card I drew up
some sketches to play with Shine On. some more.
I also looked at other business cards and logos. I
then decided to look up different fonts to use for
my logo. I wanted to match my drawing and have it
minimal. I went on to Adobe Illustrator to create and
organize my newly downloaded font and played with
colors that I thought would match the idea of shining
and light. I went into Adobe Illustrator to set up my
documents and guides so that I could line up the grid
with my business card and letterhead I had designed
in Illustrator.
My business is about being professional and minimal
but still creative.

Photo Montage
This is a photo montage of a little bit of the Hmong
people and their culture.
I love minimalism and I liked that the theme was
to create something spiritual to some capacity.
This started with brainstorming ideas of the things
that mean most to me. In this I realized I wanted
something simple so I Google searched various
things about Hmong culture and people. Once I found
my images I went into Adobe Photoshop and played
with the opacity on the different images to see what I
liked and then compiled the images together and did
a lot of rearranging to make sure the images worked
and flowed without being to distracting because the
images I chose have a lot of content. The further I
got into this I saw that this image was starting to take
form and look more like a poster or cover for Hmong
heritage. To create the look I got used multiple layers
to do my layer masking. I also created clipping masks
to make sure that my edges were more precise.

Charity Event Flier

This is a charity event ad for I created for the
American Heart Association. It is titled Heart Ball
for the black tie affair to help raise awareness and
raise money towards heart health and education to
communities.
For this project I scanned a few images I thought
would be sufficient and this was one of the images.
I looked up charities that meant something to me.
From doing some quick research it gave me an idea
of what kinda of style I should create. I took my
image I had scanned rotated it and cropped it in
Adobe Photoshop. I opened up Microsoft Word to
start laying out my image and information and moved
it around to play with alignment then color.
Message: I knew that my ad was going to be minimal
and direct. I wanted to keep the same simplicity that
the American Heart Association does in all of their
ads. I also wanted to create an image where it looked
like it was an invite to this formal event.

Logos
This is a logo for my personal small business called
Shine On. This small business I have is where I sell
cards, stationary, and t shirts that I have designed and
screen printed.
I started this logo project with writing and sketching
out objectives. I knew that I was designing this for
myself for my Etsy account. I started out sketching
and writing Shine On. over and over until I
could find something I really liked. I scanned the
sketchbook pages and opened up the images into
Adobe Illustrator to use the tracing tool. I then took
the pen tool to alter and change the images to look
even better. I went in and edited strokes and colors
and rearranged parts of the images.
I wanted to portray that the company is a creative
company that is still professional.
I have made changes between the time of creating
these logos and the logo I now use because I found it
essential to keep evaluating and reinventing what Ive
already liked.

Photo Design
This simple photo design was created for AQUA
night club to promote the club.
I started off this design with thumbnails and laying
out how I wanted the text and image to be oriented.
After taking pictures with my Canon camera I
evaluated them and thought about the color and
themes that fit well with the best photos. The photo
I selected had a hint of blue and orange that I really
liked and wanted to enhance so I took this to Adobe
Photoshop to enhance the colors and adjust the image
size. I added the text that I wanted and I also searched
and downloaded Neon Lights fonts to find the best fit.
I also went to search for a nice night club to advertise
for.
The message I wanted to show was that the club is
fancy but fun and a great way to spend the night.

Web Page
This is the webpage to display my logo I had created.
I took the logo I had created and saved it so it would be compatible
for web viewing and linked it on to my HTML file which I had also
linked into my CSS file. In my HTML file I wrote down the details
of how I had created my logo and the service I was creating it for.
Along in there was how I was aligning the content. In the CSS file,
this is where I did some embellishing such as adding colors, a background, and changing fonts.
I wanted my website to match the theme my logo had so I continued with the playful but still clean look for the website that in
minimal.

Conference Flier
This flyer is to promote the Graduate Leadership
Conference for graduating seniors to better their
leadership skills for their careers.
I started my design process by sketching out ideas
and taking notes on the information I needed. After
choosing a thumbnail that appeared strongest, I
moved on to Adobe InDesign to set up a document
and make guide boxes for images and text. After the
first draft I had a friend look over my flyer and helped
point of some of the things I lacked and to remember
most of the time the audience will only skim the
flyer rather reading it so the information they want is
legible and noticeable.
The message I wanted to send was that the
Graduate Leadership Conference is fun and that it
is professional and will help better the skills that the
seniors already have.
