I wanted to create a cover about psychology. I chose contrasting colors. I found a picture of myself from a couple of years ago and got to work.

Adobe Photoshop

To take photos in different lighting and show the difference.

I edited pictures in Photoshop. I used some basic editing tools (Levels, Vibrance, Selec-tive Color, Sharpen Tool) to fix up the images. Some needed the fix up and others not as much. I didn’t use selective coloring as much because I felt some of them did well without, whereas others benefited greatly from all four editing tools I used.

To take photos in different lighting and show the difference.

I wanted to have a autumn color scheme so I chose a location with trees. In Photoshop I made the more dark parts a more deep dark. I gave some more color to the trees in the picture. I sharpened up the wooden bridge so that it stuck out among the trees and greenery. I made my picture so that it fit to the right size. I then crated my bars and text. I felt that it flowed well. I tried to keep simple main colors. I checked it all to make sure it was good and now it’s done!

To learn how to use the masking tool and fade photos.

I wanted to create something involving clouds. I searched for pictures involving clouds and eventually I found what I wanted. I found a picture of a dude the first time but then I changed it to a girl on the skateboard. I cre-ated my own quote about reaching beyond the usual.

Adobe Illustrator

To create a professional looking Letterhead and business card.

I first drew a bunch of ideas for what I could make or design later on. I found a picture of an eagle on a public domain website. I traced (Illustrator) the eagle’s head and used that for my logo. I created three dif-ferent ideas for logos. I then went to work on what my letterhead and business cards would look like. I received good insight on what looked good and where I should place objects and text. I then refined it more. I took a new picture of an eagle’s head and traced it. This picture was found on public domain as well. I made some squares to give the pictures more flare and I repeated it to have similarity.

To make aware to people the damage water can do.

I started with thinking about rain clouds. I really wanted to do something with clouds. I started sketching some ideas for my cloud infographic. I found some data on the internet about what can happen in downpours. I set to work on making clouds in illustrator. I wanted to keep a common theme with the clouds. I gathered the info I had found and started to find ways to make it visually appealing. I had the time of my life creating it and I feel like it is my best work so far!

To create a website that could be used in a professional setting.

I created a eagle logo in Illustrator. I decided on the eagle because that is my dad’s company. I resized my logo to be about 300 px on the long side. I started my HTML document and begin work-ing on the basics. I then created a folder for my HTML and then added my CSS to the mix. I creat-ed my background image on Illustrator using only triangles. I then customized my CSS to the style I wanted and brought the color scheme into it. After all of that crazy work of trying to figure how to do coding again after not doing it for two years I vali-dated it and got the green light!

To create a web page mock up that could be given to a web designer instantly.

I decided to go a nature theme to fit my brand-ing title. Ealges fit with nature and it has a soothing atmosphere about it. I had an exact idea of what I wanted so I got to work and drew it out on paper! I executed my plan. After-wards, I created my wire frame. I added the ba-sic shapes and designs of the job and went to work! After my wireframe, I added all the good stuff to make it look sleek and nice. My final work is a little different then the wire frame. It has one more line of text. It overall looked good in my mind and I got the result I was looking for.

To make a brochure that sends a message to inform about a company.

I first made my Logo in Illustrator. I kept my eagle theme. InDesign was next up and cret-ed my layout for the brochure. I started my design and I made it similar to my website. I found pictures on royalty-free websites. A coupke that would fit my color scheme. I made triangles to add some flare to the sec-ond page. I then exported the brochure doc-ument as JPEGS. I printed the brochure out as a demo/preview to see how it looked. Even-tually I did the finished project.

A photo montage done with a theme of Christmas.

Adobe Photoshop

To make a photo montage that brings the spirit of Christmas.

I wanted to create a new project based around Christ-mas. I decided on a Christmas montage. I first found the photos I wanted to use online from Pexels.com and lds.org and put everything in a folder. Then opened Photoshop to get started on my project. I masked Mary and Baby Jesus to make them faded. I then placed Mary and Baby Jesus in the ornament. After that I found a picture of men riding camels and put the picture into Photoshop. I then masked them. I zoomed in a ton to get rid of everything but the silhouettes. Removing excess and then shadowing the men and camels again. I did some incredibly detailed masking work that took me forever to do. Choosing the fonts were not that hard. I found a quote about Christ-mas and then I was done!
