I created this image to go along with a scripture in Ephesians. I used the trees to compliment “rooted” in the quote and a picture of a temple marriage for “established in love”. -Audience: An inspirational quote/ image di-rected to the members of the Church.

I placed a background image on to a new page and then cropped it by 8.5x11in. I then cop-ied the backround image to create a new layer. I then used a sharpen effect over the trees. I placed a mask over the image and went through to soften the trees in the foreground. I then add-ed a new layer and placed an image of my sister and her husband in front of the temple. I used the brush at 100% capacity to take away any harsh edges. I then added a mask to this image and using the brush tool and various opacity levels, blended the image. I also changed to image from “normal” to “light.” I added a third image of a tree branch and opaqued it in order for everything to blend together. I then added two type fonts to tie the image together with an appropriate quote.

BrochureBrochure for made-up company of choice

Adobe Illustrator, Word,Photoshop, & InDesign

December 5, 2015


Geri & Freki is an outdoor clothing company that I created for this project. They create mens clothing for extreme winter sports.

I first created a logo for the company in Adobe Illustrator. I created my logo with the pen tool to trace a design. I then used the reflection tool in order to create a symmetrical composition. I then eyedropper tool on a photo to extract the colors I wanted. Second, I used the internet to find at least four high-quality pictures to place in my project. I used Flicker for my stock photos. I opened up Photoshop to remove the back-ground on of the images in order to place it into my InDesign document. Next, I went to Word to write up at least 200 words for my company bro-chure. Finally, I went in to InDesign to create a brochure layout. I added text boxes and brought in my text from my Word document. I placed in my images, including the one I edited in Pho-toshop, and word wrapped a paragraph to it. I then used the eyedropper tool to bring in color from my logo to match my brochure. Finally, I worked on alignment, organization, and unity in my design by creating big, medium, and small elements.

Business cardI created a business card for my own design company to reach out to potential clients. This is for any persons in-terested in a graphic designer to create projects for them

Adobe Illustrator,Adobe InDesign November 7, 2015


Make a letterhead and design a business card that incorporates a personally created logo.

I knew that I wanted to start by thinking up a compa-ny that I could work for. I decided on my own design services based out of Provo,Utah. I wanted my design to echo the beauty of the mountains there. I created my logo using Adobe Illustrator. I used simple triangle shapes to create mountains. I then used my color palette to create a monochromatic scheme to echo the Wasatch Mountains in Utah County. I then grouped my triangles together and brought in text with a textbox to place over the shapes. I also created a logo that did not incorporate the name of my company for a later use. Once I had completed my logos, I opened an InDesign document and placed it there.

I then opened a new document in InDesign to create my 3.5×2″ business card. I needed two boxes in order to create the front and the back designs. The front is my BN Design logo and the back is the same exact informa-tion from my stationary that I copied and pasted into the new layout. I arranged it to look clean, simple, and easy to read.

stationaryStationary included with company logo.

Microsoft Word, Illustrator

November 7, 2015


I created a stationary for my own design com-pany to reach out to potential clients. This is for any persons interested in a graphic designer.

In InDesign, I created a layout for stationary. I brought in my logo to the top left corner of the page and downsized it using the shift key to keep it proporationate. I then placed my sec-ond logo (mentioned earlier) and scaled it up. I dropped the opacity so it appeared to only be a watermark on the back of the stationary. In the top right corner of the page, I created 10 pt size font in a new textbox and added all the neces-sary information.

webpageCreate a webpage to show a logo that I have designed

Photoshop, Visual Studio Code.

November 21, 2015


A local bookstore with a constellation-themed interior. For any locals who would like to browse through their downtown bookstore.

I created this web page with Visual Studio Code. I was given a pre-made css document to work with. I linked this to a html document that I had created a couple of days earlier for this as-signment. I inserted my logo into the document and used http://www.W3schools.org to search how to center my logo. I inserted this informa-tion into my document.I then opened up Photoshop and used the eye dropper tool to select my color hex codes from the logo. I inserted these into my css document for my title color, background, and body copy.For this project, I needed to manipulate the text. I used Google Fonts and found the html and css code to copy and paste into my documents. I also used 3 “back-up” fonts for the web browser o go through. I also centered my title by adding padding to the bottom border.

Libra books bookstore- a constellation themed bookstore. For anyone who is interested in visiting a local store to purchase books.

I tried out a few ideas different ideas out on paper. Then I opened Illustrator and created my first three designs using the pen tool. I added typography to complete the design. Then I got a few votes from others to see what logo appealed to them the most. After I got the vote on the best, I decided which one I would like to refine. I then created 3 versions of the logo- one in greyscale and two in color. I manipulated the color schemes and fonts to add variety between the three.

I wanted to make a fun doggie daycare poster to put up around town. The font and color scheme was chosen to keep the mood light and playful; like doggie daycare.For locals around town looking for a place to put their pooch.

For this project, I had a split-complementary theme in mind. I went out and took a photo of my wet dog at the dog park, keeping good com-position, light, and focus in mind as I did so. I used a Z3400 Digital Polaroid camera. I upload-ed the photo to Adobe Photoshop and created levels with sharpness on her nose, saturation in the color, and color balance for the hues. I dragged my design to a new 11X8.5″ portrait layout. I downsized the photo to fit the frame; bleeding out on the left side. I brought in a color wheel to create my color scheme; brick, green, and violet. I used the shape tool to incorporate those colors in the background of my design. I used the free transform shape tool to add paw-shaped color pallets to complete the design.

A local boutique is running a clothing drive for donations to the Battered Women and Children’s Center. For any local person who is interested in contributing their clothing to charity.

I scanned the magazine page, and then insert-ed the image in to Word. I chose a watercolor background for two of my three text boxes for repetition. Then I added a text box for my article. I chose to leave the background and line with no fill; in order to create white space. I used a Serif header and Sans Serif body text in order to create contrast in my text. Programs I used: Microsoft Word, Canon Scanner, PDF2JPG.net (PDF converter).

This flier was prepared for graduate students who are interested in improving their leadership skills by attending a conference.Audience: Recent graduates who are 22-30 years old.

First, I created sketches for my layout. Then I chose my best sketch and used this as a guide to design my layout in Adobe InDesign. I had the image, logo, and text given to me to create the flier. I used the triangle tool to provide shape for the text and image. I also left aligned and right aligned my text in order to create alignment in the document. An additional tool used to create this flyer was the gradient tool for my text box background.
