Visual Media/Sara Tranberg

PROCESS:The objective of this project was to learn basic photography skills, pick

an appropriate color scheme and then incorporate them into thelayout. I used a photo that I took of my youngest daughter. I then

studied the colors in the photo to determine which color scheme would best compliment the photo for my lay out. I decided on a

monochrome color scheme using the gold colors in her hair. Iopened the photo in Photoshop and used levels, sharpness,

Vibrance, and selective color to edit my photo.

the bright side of things, hoping the colors would be harmonious and soothing.

DESCRIPTION:Matching letterhead and business card designed using a personally created logo.

PROGRAMS: Adobe Illustrator



PROCESS:I created the logo using Adobe Illustrator. I rst used the ellipse tool to

make one circle and one oval, I then joined the two create the body. AfterI made the body I used the pen tool to create the legs. I made one side

then mirrored them for the other side. Once I had the bug I copiedand rotated them. Buy using guide lines, I created the background

of the logo and placed the three bugs on top to complete thelogo. I made the letter head rst and experimented with many

different placements of the logo, after much deliberationI decided on the upper right. I used a background of a

picture of granite for the horizontal bars, then droppedthe opacity to 33%

MESSAGE:The message is satirical in nature, and is a tongue

in cheek poke at lawyers.

DESCRIPTION:Matching letterhead and business card designed using a personally created logo.




PROCESS:For my business card I started with a 3.5 x 2 inch art board, then built the image onto

it, using repetition to make the two feel like they belong together. I chose gray scalebecause I wanted to project simple yet classic, and I used the granite background

to impart the idea of strength.

MESSAGE:The message is satirical in nature, and is a tongue in cheek poke

at lawyers.

DESCRIPTION:Promotional ier, in black and white.

PROGRAMS: Adobe Photoshop



PROCESS: Adobe Photoshop was the program I used to create this montage. I started

by gathering the photos I was going to use. I used the bookshelves asa background, and added a layer for each of the other elements and

used a mask to soften the edges so they transition from one imageto the other without any edges. I used a a gradient to fade the

bookshelves to white and then added the quote over the white. Imuted the background (the bookcase) so that the foreground

would stand out more.

MESSAGE:I was trying to convey the idea that even though schoolcan be difcult, it is an opportunity for growth in

character as well as intellect.

DESCRIPTION: A three sided (trifold) folding brochure.

PROGRAMS: Adobe Indesign, Adobe Photoshop



PROCESS:I created a new logo in adobe Illustrator, I made different versions so I

would have a choice as my design progressed. After completing mylogos I converted them to outlines and saved them to my project folder.

The images where all my original photos that I opened in adobePhotoshop, and using the selection tool, I removed the background

and tried them the way I wanted. I then saved them to my projectfolder. I places the images and the logo into Indesign, I aligned

the wording on the front so that when the front was cut thetwo half’s would line up properly. I placed my inside copy

into the document, then used text wrap to make it follow

the conture of the images.

MESSAGE:That this establishment is professional andcrative. Also to encourage people to come to

this business and buy a cake.
