Brochure
Description: Two sided trifold brochure
Process: (Programs, Tools, Skills): I used illustrator to recreate a logo. I opened an indesign document
and made grid lines for the spacing of my brochure. I imported my logo and I spaced out the lining
of my text. I used text wrap to wrap around the picture I used in the middle and I used the indentation
paragraph style. I used Word to type my text and the later I placed the text into my indesign document.
I made sure the text and spacing were aligned and then I printed a few times to get the margins right.
Message: Kays Candies are delicious and natural. Come with an appetite and eat candy.
Audience: Anyone who enjoys fudge and baked goods.
Top Thing Learned: Ive never made a brochure before. It was very diffcult getting the margins
correct. I learned a lot about paragraph styling. Those are things I never knew before, but I do now.
Color scheme and color names: Monochrome; pink and peach

Montage
Description: This is an inspirational montage. I used two pictures and blended them to go
with my quote.
Process: (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing): I started out with two
pictures. I then cropped the picture of the girl. I added a mask to that picture and began to
blend with the opacity down to 39%. I did this until I got the desired effect and the image was
blended with the background. I then added the text and brought it to the foreground.
Message: The message is to inspire people to pray more often or to not focus so much on
the world and more of the spirit. I took a quote from the scriptures.
Audience: The audience would be adults who are religious.
Top Thing Learned: I learned how to mask images and how to blend them.
Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I took the picture and used
some gaussian blur to make the picture look glowy.

Imaging
Description: Learn basic photography skills and how to use a color scheme.
Process: (Programs, Tools, Skills): I frst went about taking pictures. I took several and picked a few of
my favorites. I then took the best one and tried to incorporate an idea out it. Once I had my idea I looked
at the colors in the photo and chose a color scheme from it. I used my Samsung Galaxy 3 to take the
pictures and I used photoshop to enhance the image. I used sharpen, saturation, vibrance, and levels. I
used a little gaussian blur in it as well. I used the tutorials posted on I-Learn and did my best to put together
the fnished product.
Message: The message is to inform Young Women that theres a conference coming soon. It gives an
inspirational quote on self worth.

space. I was also not giving my quote enough contrast. I also learned how to take decent pictures.

colors for the banner at the top.

and grouped them together. I placed my logo into InDesign and created the letterhead. Then I placed my logo
onto a separate document and made the front and back of my business card. I saved the changes and copy

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I used Indesign and Illistrator to make this letter head. I frst made the
logos and then once they were fnished I placed my logo in a document to make the letter head. I used different
text to make the letter head. I placed my contact information at the top right beside it and placed a line underneath
the logo and information to seperate the letterhead from the bottom page text. Then I saved the project as a pdf.
and jpeg.

Top Thing Learned: I learned how to make a business card. Ive never done that before. It was diffcult
learning how to incorporate my logo and my business card together. There wasnt much space to use on such a
tiny card. Learning how to manage space and still push a message across is proven to be diffcult.
