Montage
Instructor: Joel Judkins
Course: COMM 130
Date: 2/13/15
Programs used: Adobe Photoshop
Discription: An inspirational montage made by
the blending of two or more images, and the use
of typography.
Objectives: I wanted to show that skateboarding
is about progress like life is.
Process: I cropped the background image to
8.511. I selected the kid skatebarding and
moved him to the background image, then I added a mask. With black paint and a 100% opacity,
soft-edged brush, I painted away the hard image
edges. With a larger black brush at 50% opacity and 100% flow, I blended the image into the
background, so it looks like he is melting into the
scene.

same company.

company ever.
Process: I first drew some sketches for ideas.

outlines of each logo. Next, I filled in each
shape with colors and then typed in the company name into each logo.

come up with a design. After I decided the one
I liked, I started making it in InDesign. I wanted it to me simple and easy to read so I made
it fairly basic. I wanted all the banners and titles to match so I made them all the same color
scheme.
