Project 5 Logos

1. Description: This is a logo for an event App. The purpose of the app is to enable the community to see all the events happening around them. Businesses can post events that they are holding, and app users can also post events to the app. The idea of the app is convenience and speed. The logo is supposed to represent a lightning bolt as well as the letter”Z” for Zanga.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): To make this logo I started out with the line tool I made the “Z” shape that I wanted to double as lightning. I then filled the shape with light orange. I made a solid black square and put that in the background. I then added the white font over the image to finish off the logo.

Project 4 Montage

Description: This is a montage of two different mirror pictures, trying to symbolize self-worth.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing): I used photoshop to create this project. I used a mask to put the picture on the left over the original mirrored image. I used a black and white filter on the left to create a more distressed feel on that side of the mirror. I wanted the two sides of the mirror to have a clear contrast.

Message: The message I was trying to portray through this photo came from a conference talk given by President Uchtdorf. He told the story of the Ugly duckling, and how we may also feel like an ugly duckling at times. I think it is important to remember our divine potential as children of God, and that is why there is a girl looking in the mirror at herself. She is looking at her divine potential.

Audience: Girls of all ages

Top Thing Learned: I learned how to use and apply masks in photoshop.

Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I used a black and white filter on the left side of the picture.

Color scheme and color names: Neutral color scheme, black, white, gunmetal grey, brown.

Project 3 Photo Design

1. Description: Photograph of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, endorsing quality headphones, and listening to music.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I created this in Photoshop, and took the picture on the outskirts of Rexburg, ID. One of the FOCUS principles I incorporated was alignment. I wanted all the font to be right aligned in order for the eyes to follow the text clearly and easily. Another principle I used was color. I used a monochromatic color scheme and used indigo throughout the picture (sound waves, logo, and font).
3. Message: The message I was trying to portray was the positive effect listening to music with quality head phones can have on your life. Music is so powerful so, why leave out your life’s background music?
4. Audience: Young adults/ Music Lovers

Project 2 Event Ad

1. Description: This is an Ad I created for the Annual Adoption Fair held by the Humane Society
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I created this Ad in Microsoft word, and found/scanned the background image from a magazine in the library. One of the FOCUS principles I used was alignment. I decided to right align all the text in the Ad in order to put more emphasis on the image on the left. Another principle I used was color. The color of the font is white, and a shade of orange that is found in the background of the image.
3. Message: The message I was trying to get across was the amount of loving pets that are in need of homes. The Humane Society has an event every year, to help increase the amount of pet adoptions.
4. Audience: The target audience is young adults or teens (or other people who use Instagram)
5. Color scheme and color names: The colors I used for the font are white, and a light orange that I was able to apply using the dropper tool in Microsoft Word.

Project 1 Flier

1. Description: Graduate Leadership Conference flier for Vouant Communications.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): The Program I used to create this flier was InDesign. One tool I used was the grid which enabled me to align everything. Some skills I learned throughout this activity include the ability to create shapes, and using the fitting attribute on images to fill the content box. The two main FOCUS principles I incorporated in my flier are contrast and alignment. The title “Graduate Leadership Conference” written in white, contrasts with the black background. I left aligned the information, and made sure the logo top and bottom aligned with the paragraph.
3. Message: Vouant Communications is holding a Leadership Conference for graduate students to improve leadership skills.
