A brochure, advertising a horse breeding ranch.

Comm 130: Visual Media - Section 13

Sara Tranberg

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator

Design a brochure for a company with an original logo and at least 250 words of body copy, including a text wrap.

I decided to make a brochure for a fictional company that I think would be really cool. I looked on the web for stock photos of Rocky Mountain horses. I found one that would look really nice as the front of a gate fold, another that would be easy to cut out, and two more that illustrated the beauty of the breed. I measured the proper fold lines and used those as guides to design the brocure. I made a logo for the brand in Adobe Illustrator. I liked the circle shape from the logo, so I continued the shape throughout the brocure.

Adobe Photoshop

Design a webpage mockup for a fictional client, including organized layers.

For this project, I began with a business concept and logo I conceived in another class. I sketched a few layout ideas, then began making a wireframe in Adobe Photoshop. I played with alignments and colors before adding content. When I was satified with the layout, I found pictures and added the logo and type. Once everything was placed how I originally imagined, everything seemed cramped, so I did a lot of touching up to the layout. I also adjusted the colors to work with the photos better.

Adobe Photoshop

Use layer masks to blend two or more images to make one spiritually themed poster.

I knew I wanted to do a poster on the temple, so I found a picture of the most widely recognized one: the Salt Lake temple. I then thought it’d be cool to put a road leading to it. I looked for road pitures and came across this one with a little girl on it. She’s pretty cute, so I let her stay. I blended the temple onto the end of the road, and it needed something extra, so I added some clouds. The girl and the line were a bit too centered, so I moved them to the right a bit. As a finishing touch, I added an iris blur.

Design a flyer with a planned color scheme, featuring an original image and color swatches.

I brainstormed of a theme for my flyer and decided I’d like it to be inspirational in nature. I rounded up my daughter and younger sister to be models. After capturing an image I was satisfied with, I edited the photo in Adobe Photoshop and put it as a background in InDesign. I made the swatch flower in Adobe Illustrator, taking the main colors from the photo. I also made a small flourish to add along with the flower. I then added type, and adjusted the fonts, sizes, etc.

Make an original prezi presentation, with a new background and type.

I knew from the start of the project that I’d like to make a presentation on birdwatching with an entire backyard scene laid out. I sketched the background with the different slide elements, then set to work in Adobe Illustrator. After I was done with the background, I uploaded it to Prezi and added the slide order and type.

A letterhead and business card, front to back, of a fictional company.

Sara Tranberg

Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator

Design an original logo, and create a letterhead and two-sided business card around it.

This is a company I’ve been thinking about starting, so just in case I do, I thought I’d make a brand for it. I already had the name, so I started by sketched logo ideas and finding out which one other people liked. I went with the public’s opinion, but it was soon clear that it was too busy and complicated for easy consumer digestion. I completely remade it and chose a color scheme based on the playful feel of the company. I used the yarn ball and bold side panels as repeating elements.

Code a webpage, describing the process to create the logo from the business identity project.

I started out with very basic html and css skeletons. I typed in all the information needed on the html sheet, describing every thought process I had when making the logo. I then linked the external CSS sheet and began customizing it. I changed the colors to match my logo and brand; changed the typefaces to add interest; and added other elements, like a footer and border.

The cover of fictional magazine, Feature, featuring me.

May 4, 2016


Sara Tranberg

Adobe InDesign

Design the cover of a magazine featuring you, including 3-5 interesting stories describing you.

The most challenging part of this project was getting a quality picture. After I got that and cut it out of its background, the rest came easier. I wanted an odd number of headlines, and three seemed a bit sparce, so I wrote five concise headlines and arranged them tastefully. For the title of the magazine, I played with alignment and tracking to make it look visually pleasing. I changed some of the words to red, rather than black. As a final touch, I added the gold border to tie in the whole design and color scheme.

An infographic about hand-raising baby birds..

June 8, 2016


Sara Tranberg

Adobe Illustrator

Make an infographic with original graphics and at least one real statistic.

Hand-raising birds is so rewarding and fun, I thought other people might like an overview of how it’s done. To get started, I laid out a plan of action so I knew what colors to use, what information to incorporate, and where to put everything. I made a few graphics as I worked. After everything was on the ground, I rearranged the elements to enhance the flow.
