DESCRIPTION A brochure for a fine Bed and Breakfast in Maine.

PROCESS First, decided on the company to make a brochure for. Then I created the logo. This included sketches of different ideas and then working in illustrator to make it real. Once the logo was created, I decided on a layout for the brochure. I wrote text that would be inserted. After inserting the text, I added a painting to the bottom and wrapped text around it. Finally, I printed it with bleed marks, cut it and folded.

PROCESS First did sketches about what I wanted to portray visually and as a message and looked for images and quotes that would fit it.

PHOTOMONTAGE

DESCRIPTION An ad for a fund raiser from Discovery Chanel for Food for the Poor.

PROCESS I first looked at pictures and at the same time thought about ads that could go along with it. I found a picture of a scuba diver with a shark and thought it would be fun to have a fund raiser for the adventurous. I scanned in the picture at 300 dpi so I would make it as big as the page and not loose quality. I wanted to do a simple color scheme of complementary colors: Red and Green.
