Business Card

Instructor: Nicole Nugent

Course: COMM 130
Date: February 27, 2016
Program(s) Used: Adobe Illustrator & InDesign
Description: Business card and matching letterhead. All designed
by me, including the logo.
Objectives: Use the basic tools in Illustrator & InDesign.
Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image. Do not
imitate existing logos or use previous designs. Dont use photos
or live trace. Use the new logo to design consistent layouts for a
business card and letterhead. Photos are okay on business card
and letterhead as additional design elements. Letterhead should
be 8.5 x 11, full-bleed optional, but trim only .125. Business card
should be 3.5 x 2 and printed above center on a vertical page. Apply
typography rules, keeping small copy. Keep designs simple with
light watermarks and drop shadows and plenty of white space.
Include contact information: name, address, phone, website,
and email on each piece. Use periods, bullets, or spaces in phone
number; no parentheses/ hyphens.
Processes: First I searched the web for some ideas and sketched up
some designs. Then I created a logo in Illustrator. I then placed the
logo in a two different documents in InDesign. Where I created my
business card and letter head. I then critiqued my work and created
a new design with more color. I spent time editing and editing to
make sure it had the right look and logo.

Brochure

Instructor: Nicole Nugent

Course: COMM 130
Date: March 26, 2016
Program(s) Used: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign
Description: A two sided (duplex) 3 folding brochure.
Objectives: Set up and align a two-sided, folded document. Create an
original, new logo and use it in a brochure. Incorporate quality images.
Incorporate at least four quality images, not including the logo. One
should be clipped in Photoshop and text-wrapped in InDesign so the
text follows the cutout shape of the image.
Processes: First I sketched out my ideas on a sheet of paper, then I
made a module out of lined paper. Then I opened Adobe Illustrator
and began designing the logo. I decided sense my logo was going
to be the main shape of the brochure, to open it up in InDesign and
begin operating and arrogating parts. I made a simple draft of the
layout with text boxes and frames for pictures. I then typed up what
I was going to say and found the pictures that I would use from his
Facebook. Then began the long process of the final project. I used
Adobe Photoshop to do a very light edit to the pictures and back in
Adobe InDesign I text wrapped the top body to one of his pictures.
I also created margin spacing. Then once finished I critiqued again,
changed the color scheme and fonts for body title and body. I also
added a few design elements and printed. I had to print at least 10
times to get the layout to match up evenly on both sides. I think this
was the hardest part out of it all. But over all I really enjoyed this
project and the fun time I had creating my design and watching it
come to life.

Logos

Instructor: Nicole Nugent

Course: COMM 130
Date: February 20, 2016
Program(s) Used: Adobe Illustrator
Description: Logo for organization
Objectives: Create three completely different, original logos to fit
a company or personal image that will appeal to the audience.
Processes: I really loved designing these logos. I first sketched
out some ideas and then created them in Illustrator. From there
I had 10 people vote on which was most appealing. From there I
took the one with the most votes and placed it in different edits.
Regular, greyscale, and flipped to the solid blue background. I
loved the time I spent on this project, and look forward to being
able design more logos in the future.

Flier

Instructor: Nicole Nugent

Course: COMM 130
Date: January 23, 2016
Program(s) Used: Adobe InDesign
Description: Black and White flier to promote a graduate leadership
conference hosted by Vouant Communication.
Objectives: Apply the design principles and use appropriate typography.
Incorporate basic InDesign skills to improve basic flier layout. Retrieve
image and logo from links on this page. Create a project folder with
image, logo and InDesign document to keep links in InDesign intact.
Process: I made four sketches at first, then I narrowed it down to one.
This helped me with my layout and kept me focused on my message. I
used Adobe InDesign to create my flier. I created repetition in the dashes
of the rectangles and then placed those lines throughout my piece. I
used contrast in my color choice and size of the logo. This way you are
drawn to it. I used contrast also in my use of white space and small body
text. I positioned the elements so they faced into the design, creating a
visual flow/path for the viewer to follow. I aligned elements, one with
another. I did the diagonal alignment with the heading to draw the
viewers eyes into the piece. I used the young woman who is reaching
for the book, to represent her reaching for her dreams. Just like the
graduating seniors have done in working hard to do well in their studies
to be able to graduate and enter the work force. The flier as a whole has
a nice shape and even layout.

Event Ad

Instructor: Nicole Nugent

Course: COMM 130
Date: March 12, 2016
Program(s) Used: Microsoft Word
Description: I used Microsoft Word and a scanner, to create an event
ad. Eye catching for the younger audiences.
Objectives: Comprehend image sizing (how pixels and inches work
together). Find, scan and import a high-quality image. Create a full
bleed design. Choose a color scheme and typeface(s) that work for
your message and audience. Learn to use only Word design features
without using any Adobe programs, including Photoshop.
Process: I selected an imagine from a magazine, then scanned it on to
the computer. From there I cropped it and inserted it into Microsoft
word. I took advantage of the word prayer that was all ready printed
on the picture, and incorporated it into the design. I outlined each
letter of the word pray manually. I also added the different shapes and
colors. I loved how user friendly Microsoft is and the publishing layout.
I honestly could just use word and be fine.

Web Page

Instructor: Nicole Nugent

Course: COMM 130
Date: March 12, 2016
Program(s) Used: Adobe Illustrator, TextWrangler and Photoshop.
Description: A website to display my logo for my company.
Objectives: Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web
page so the long side is 300 500 pixels. Write content to describe the
process of creating your logo and how it appeals to a target audience.
(Minimum of 200 words. Include rationale for colors, appeal to
target audience, design skills, etc,). Acquire a working knowledge
of HTML. (Include all required tags Doctype (provided), html,
head, title, meta charset (provided), body, h1, h2, p, ol or ul (with li
tags), img, br, and a link to blog). Acquire a working knowledge of
CSS. (Customize the provided CSS provided to format the HTML to
complement the logo design. Change at least the following: The h1
text color & h1 background color, font colors for the paragraphs & list
items, the background color, font families and add at least one css
comment.)
Process: I started in TextWrangler and began coding. I had never
even heard of HTML and CSS before now. I started by just playing
around in the program and using tutorials to help me along. I also
used Photoshop to get the exact color hers that I needed for the color
scheme. I had a lot of fun figuring out the different layouts and how it
all goes together. It is so interesting on how the indenting helps with
the organization of it all. I changed the fonts, colors, added my logo,
hyperlink, and layout. Once I was done with the project I verified it to
make sure I did everything correct and I did.

Montage

Instructor: Nicole Nugent

Course: COMM 130
Date: February 13, 2016
Program(s) Used: Adobe Photoshop
Description: An inspirational/spiritual montage made with two or
more images, and typography, all blended together.
Objectives: Use the FOCUS design process with strong focal point and
flow, Unify a layout with a consistent theme and dominant spiritual
message. Learn to blend two or more images together gradually,
using masks. Demonstrate more advanced Photoshop skills for
layout with multiple elements. Use a mask to apply a filter to one
part of the image. Apply typography principles (titles, quotes, events
or scripturesyour choice)
Process: First I came up with my thought. I wanted to have a side by
side of missionaries and Christ with his disciples. I then found my
pictures and opened them up in Photoshop. I selected around the
missionaries and dragged it over to the spot I wanted it to be on the
picture of Christ. I then started blending. I selected a scripture to tie
the message together.

PhotoDesign

Instructor: Nicole Nugent

Course: COMM 130
Date: February 06, 2016
Program(s) Used: Photoshop
Description: Demonstrate good photography and image editing skills.
Incorporating color into a poster layout with original photo.
Objectives: Learn basic photography skills. Choose a color scheme,
take a photo to match those colors, then incorporate the colors into the
layout.
Process: I have been very intrigued but sunsets, and the contrast they
contribute. So I selected orange and blue. Then I went for a drive and
took this picture. I then took it in to Photoshop and applied 4 basic
edits to the picture; levels, sharpness, saturation, and color balance.
Then I design an 8.511 layout. I added text and found this quote that
matched my theme.
