Description: Create a logo for an organization

Program Used: Adobe Illustrator

Date: 11/01/2015

Course # & Name: COMM 130; Section I

Instructor Name: Cory Kerr

Objective: Create three dierent, original logos with variations for color to t a company or personal

image that will appeal to the audience using only the Illustrator tools.

Process: I did some searching about the kind of brand I wanted to work on. After looking at some logos

to get inspiration, I nally decided I would do a surf one and named it “WAVE”. I did practice exercizes

to get to know more about the Illustrator tools. I found this great font “Palm Tree” that represented the

exact atmosphere I was looking for, and I changed the colors of the letters. I designed the board with

the pen tool, used some gradient to it, applied the same colors from the text and sent it to the back. For

the second one, I just added black & white. The third was required to have a square and white text.

Description: A web page designed to showcase a personally created logo.

Program Used: TextWrangler & Adobe Photoshop

Date: 11/21/2015



Objective: Write content to describe the process of creating a logo and how it

appeals to a target audience; Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and CSS.

Process: I used Text Wrangler to create this web page. It was my rst time using Text Wrangler

and learning anything about CSS/HTML. I started writing about the process of creating

my logo and HTML validator was of great help because I could check what I was doing.

I inserted my logo image and attached a pre-made CSS document to my HTML. I combined the colors from

my logo as the colors for my web page. I found these colors by opening Photoshop and using the eyedropper tool.

Description: Incorporating color into a poster layout with original photo; Demonstrate good

photography and image editing skills.

Program Used: Adobe Photoshop

Date: 10/16/2015



Objective: Choose a color scheme, take a photo to match those colors, then incorporate the colors

into the layout; Adjust image levels, saturation, color balance, sharpen tool on separate layers for ND.

Process: I used my own Iphone to take this picture. I focused on the owers, so that the temple in the

background would look blurred. Then, I xed the picture levels and vibrance on Adobe Photoshop.

I kept using this same program to add the wording and work on the color scheme. I played with the

fonts by using two dierent ones for the same quote. I chose script and a sans serif because they work

really well together. I aligned the three lines of the quote at the left side and aligned the two last linesat the right. Since my picture has a lot of information from the owers and the temple, I tried not

adding too much more to it, so I made sure there was enough white space in the blue sky area.

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

Program Used: Microsoft Word

Date: 10/10/2015



Objective: Learn to use only Word design features without using any Adobe programs to create a

full-bleed design; Choose a color scheme and typeface(s) that work for a message and an audience.

Process: I searched for a picture of an animal because that was the kind of fundraiser I wanted to promote. Once

I found one and scanned it, I started sketching to get ideas of what kind of design I should do. I started designing

my ier on Microsoft Word. As the scanned image had some inconvenient elements on it, I pasted another

exact image and worked with some collage to hide those elementes that were not part of my design. I created to

include the essencial information, and eyedropped the colors from the chimpanzee to the box and to the text.

Description: An inspirational montage made by the blending of two or more images, and the use of typography.


Date: 10/23/2015



Objective: Create three dierent, original logos with variations for color to t a company

or personal image that will appeal to the audience using only the Illustrator tools.

Process: I found this picture of the Book of Mormon and had the idea of adding the image of

angel Moroni on the left side of the book, since he had such an important role in it. On Adobe

Photoshop, I blended its edges, but still wanted to keep them a little bit harder and keep the color of it.

I used eects to make it look more vibrant. I spent a long time trying to nd a place for the scripture

because it was hard to get a good ow. Then, I decided to create a mask to erase the text on the book

and I placed the scripture there. Finally, I added a dark drop shadow to make the scripture stand out.

Description: Blending of images with a consistent theme chosen.


Date: 12/09/2015



Objective: Unify a layout with a consistent theme by blending two or more images together gradually.

Process: I chose to design a montage of a theme that means a lot to me: The marvelous city, in

Brazil. I searched some images of known worldwide symbols of Rio de Janeiro. I chose the Sugar Loaf

mountain, the Corcovado, Ipanema beach and the Brazilian ag. In Adobe Photoshop, I blended these

images together gradually with the help of masks. I focused on creating a good ow among the images,

so there were no hard edges. To nish, I added a picture of birds and a tree to the left corner at the top

of my design and used a mask to hide some birds and low the opacity of the ones I wanted in the picture.

Description: A two sided (duplex) folding brochure.

Program Used: Adobe Illustrator & InDesign.

Date: 12/06/2015



Objective: Create three dierent, original logos with variations for color to t a company

or personal image that will appeal to the audience using only the Illustrator tools.

Process: In Adobe Illustrator, I created a brand new logo to the restaurant “Brazilian Bite”. InDesign,

I split my layout into 2 sections. In the rst section, I added a picture of a traditional Brazilian dish

“Feijoada”. I created a box, eye-dropped the color from the image and set its opacity to 89%. Then

added the text into it. I looked for a decorative title font and added a soft yellow color from the ag.

In the back page, I kept it simple. I used the same color from the box of the front page. I added the logo

and some essential information about the restaurant. For the second section (the inside), I looked for apicture of a cloth texture to add to the background and give it a homemade look. I added a box over it and

changed its opacity, so the texture, the brown color and the text could be easily seen. I added three pictures of

traditional dishes with a text under each one explaining about them. The basic feather eect was added to the

pictures. I used the decorative font again for the titles and made the body text white, so it was easily readable.

Description: Black & White promotional ier to promote a graduate leadership conference.

Program Used: Adobe InDesign

Date: 10/02/2015



Objective: Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic ier layout.

Process: I started my ier creation from sketches. That process helped me become creative with the elements

that had been given me. Then, I chose one of my sketches to start my layout in Adobe InDesign. While

organizing the layout, I grouped thick lines to create visual ow around the design. I believe it leads viewers

through my design because those lines coming from “Graduate” take the attention to the body text, as well

as the chosen picture that has young professionals looking to the inside of the ier. I aligned my text from the

left. I kept the most important information in the ier at the top (D-T-P), following by the body text and the

website. It tried to create a sense of organization and connections among the elements I wanted to show. I alsomade sure my layout would keep some white space and my typography choices would not have two serif fonts.

Description: Business card designed using a personally created logo.

Program Used: Adobe Illustrator & InDesign

Date: 11/07/2015



Objective: Create a logo to t a company or personal image. Use it to design consistent layouts for a

business card and letterhead.

Process: I started with some brainstorming and sketching about the kind of logo I wanted to design. I had

the idea of creating a logo for a resort. The rst thing that came to my mind was the image of a beautiful

sunset and birds ying in the midst of those beautiful colors. I decided to add that idea to my design. In Adobe

Illustrator, l looked for fonts, started designing a gradient semi-circle and I used the pencil tool for the birds. I

opened my logo on InDesign and created the business cards. I added a black background to it and used a color

tone from the semi-circle in the logo for the other half of the business card and placed the text in the center.
