TITLE Brochure
Description:

A dual sided folded brochure

Date: 12/6/2015
Course:

Comm 130 Section 7

Ben Pingel

Programs:

Adobe InDesign, Illistrator, and

Photoshop

Objective:

Create a folding brochure that effectively shows

off a company. Learn how to use text wrapping and
paragraph styles.

Process:

I first set up an offset brochure in Adobe InDesign.

I then measured out the size of brochure I wanted
and set up rulers at the correct measurements.
After I set up the brochure I created the logo in
Adobe Illustrator. I used the ellipse tool to create
the different circles in the donut and the line tool to
create the sprinkles. I wrapped the text around the
donut so that it incorporated the circular feel.
For all of the images I took them into Photoshop
and removed the background of each of the images.
I then used the refine mask to make the edges
softer and not look like a straight cutout. I placed
the images into InDesign and used the text wrap
to wrap my text around the alpha channel of the
image, so it gave more character to the page
instead of just a plain text box.

Programs:
Adobe Photoshop
Objective:
Learn how to manage layers in Photoshop, how
to blend images together smoothly, and how to
use typography effectively
Process:
I cropped the background image of the ship to
8.5x11, for the printing size. Then I lassoed the
scriptures out of the original image and placed
them onto the background and added a mask.
With the black paint at 100% opacity I painted
out the little bit of hard edge I had left in my
picture
With a larger brush at an opacity of 20% I
blended the image slowly into the background.
Lastly I
added font with an overlay and drop shadow
so that it blends with the background.

Programs:

Adobe Illustrator and InDesign

Objective:

Creare a new logo that represents a company and

then create a business card that represents the
company.

Process:

I created a logo in Adobe Illustrator using simple

shapes like rectangles and circles. After I created
the logo I used the pathfinder tool to combine the
shapes. Once I created and finalized the logo I
created a two page InDesign document and put
the .AI logo into the document. I then made the
business card first so I created a 3.52 rectangle.
I copied and fit the logo into the card. I created a
second rectangle and filled it in teal to help bring
the colors of the boom box into the full design.
I aligned the text to be within as much of the
boom box as possible and then made sure that
there was an equal amount of space around so it
looked balanced.

Objective:

Creare a new logo that represents a company and

then create a business card that represents the
company.

Process:

Once I had created the logo I created a two page

InDesign document and put the .AI logo into the
document. I then created a full bleed leterhead
on one of the pages in the document. On my
letterhead I put my logo in the top righthand corner
and then put all the contact information in the top
lefthand corner. I added the dash line to the top
and bottom to help create unity and repetition
within the letter head.

Adobe Illustrator

Objective:

Use the tools in Illustrator to create a variety of a

design for a company

Process:

I created multiple sketches and drafts to come

up with a solid design for my friends photography
business. I took a vote and went with the popular
vote amongst ten people. I refined the design a
little by taking away the snow caps, because
they werent really needed. It took awhile and a lot
of work to get the image guide box to look even on
all sides.

Objective:

-Create a webpage using HTML and CSS that

describes how I created my logo

Process:
After creating all the HTML I inserted the premade CSS document from the practice into
my page and created the changes to make my
site look presentable. I took the colors from
my logo and used them as the background
and text colors to help bring the whole page
together.I changed the fonts so that they were
simple and so they were fonts that almost
every computer has and set up backup fonts in
case someone doesnt have one of the original fonts. It was difficult to get the logo so that
it wasnt right on the borders but once I finally
figured it out it looked more put together.

Programs:

Adobe InDesign

Objective:

Apply the FOCUS design principles that we learned

in class to create a basic design.

Process:

I first sketched out four concepts with the same

information just in different layouts. Then I picked
one of the four sketches and used it as a guide
to create this layout in Adobe InDesign. I used
the bold title and bold rectangle to help bring the
boldness of the image from the bottom all the
way through to the top. I left white space around
the school logo so that way it stands out and on
its own so people know it is a school sponsored
activity.

Create a full-color bleed using only Microsoft Word

Programs:

Microsoft Word

Objective:

-Find and scan an image

-Create a full-bleed in Word
-Insert and Edit the image in Word

Process:

I scanned the buffalo image, and then in Word

used the corrections to brighten the scanned
image just a little. I added two boxes for the
information and lines to create a repetition in the
flier. I decided on a monochromatic color scheme
of blue because it is a cool color and adding
warm colors to an ad about exploring Yellowstone
in winter would not make sense. I chose two
fonts that complement each other look more. I
have never used Word before to make any sort
of design and I was actually impressed with how
much you can actually do.

layout with original photo taken.

Programs:

Adobe Photoshop

Objective:

-Learn basic photography and editing skills

-Learn how to match color schemes to the images
used

Process:

I decided on a message first and then went out to

take a picture that would help show the message.
When I went to take a picture I found a white rose
which symbolizes remembrance. I used a Cannon
camera from the library to take the picture. After
I took the picture I brought it into Photoshop and
edited the levels, sharpness, saturation, and color
balance. After that I designed an 8.5x11 layout
that included my photo, text, repeating design
elements, my color scheme, and color names
into my design. To get the colors to to match the
image more accurately I used the eye dropper to
pull colors into my swatch. I used boxes to add
repetition and a place for the color scheme to be
placed.
