1. Description: SeaWorld Brochure. Logo I created on the back bottom corner.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): For this project I used Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I used the shape tool in illustrator to give me the circle in the logo. I then used the pen tool to get the little white swoosh in the logo. Using photoshop I created cutout images of the penguin and the dolphin on the inside bottom of the brochure. I created a textwrap so allow the words to bend around the image. I created the bubbles by using the elipse tool in Indesign. I put a slight gradient on the circle to give it more of a bubble feel. I then added a white circle on the top.
3. Message: SeaWorld is good and educational
4. Audience: Children 12 and up to adults 25 and up.
5. Top Thing Learned: My top thing learned was how to use the gradient in order to create the illusion of the bubble.

P5Logos

1. Description: Ice cream logo idea. Logo in color, gray scale, and with white text.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I started out with the idea to do a ice cream shop logo. I knew that I wanted to use an ice cream cone of some sort. I designed this logo using Adobe Illustrator. I used the ellipse tool to create the circles for the ice cream and then used the remove anchor point tool to get the shape of the ice cream I wanted. I then used the shape tool with the star to create the triangle by removing the points using the up and down arrows on the keyboard. I used the line tool to create the little squares to give the cone a waffle cone texture. I chose a font that comes off fun and inviting. “That’s a small” is written in the more fun font. “Ice cream shop” and the “?” are written in a complimentary font that is still fun but professional.
3. Message: A small ice cream cone is not small.
4. Audience: Children 4-12 and Parents 21-50.
5. Top Thing Learned: My top thing learned was using the shape tools to create the shape I wanted. I also learned how to use the pen tool to manipulate shapes.
6. Color Scheme and Color Names: Monochromatic (plus one)
7. Title / Body Font Names & Categories: Apple Casual- San serif. Clarendon- Oldstyle

P4Montage

1. Description: I started this project knowing what quote I wanted to use. I went out and found images that tied into this quote. I found the pictures in a google search and used the 4 mp or greater for the two pictures in the background. I am very proud of this creation because it is one of my favorite quotes. I am also glad I could take images to illustrate the quote.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing): This design was created in photoshop. I started with the quote and found pictures to compliment the quote. There are three pictures in this design. The calm sea is the main background. The stormy sea was brought in and masked in. Same goes for the picture with Christ and the young girl. I used the opacity to gradually fade the images. You can see that Christ is more see through than the girl is, but it is one picture. That is to show that Christ is there in spirit. I found the nice text in the fonts already on the computer. I really liked the script font and had to find one to compliment it. I originally started looking at san serif fonts, but they did not compliment the script font well enough so I went to an oldstyle font. I feel that they compliment each other well.
3. Message: Christ is there even if we can’t see Him.
4. Audience: Youth to adults that go through struggles in life.
5. Top Thing Learned: I learned how to blend well and use the drop shadow behind the text so that it comes off more legible.
6. Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: I did not use any filters
7. Color scheme and color names: Monochromatic: Blue

P3 Color Scheme

P3DevinBonds

1. Description: I do not know why the image is not showing, but the link works to see the PDF. I started this design knowing that I wanted to do something with children and in a split complimentary color scheme. The longest part for me was finding three colors the met the criteria that I liked and thought would go with this design. The colors are lighter shades of red, blue, and yellow. I edited my daughters photo in photoshop by making it brighter and adding a little saturation and contrast. Her lips were very red so I used the selection tool to select just the lips and used a color change to tone down the lips redness while being able to leave the redness in her cheeks. I also used a feather tool to help soften the edges of the picture. I tried designing the shapes in photoshop, but had no success. I used indesign to get the shapes for the house.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I used photoshop to edit the photo and indesign for the rest of it.
3. Message: Adopt a child
4. Audience: Adults ages 25-40
5. Color scheme and color names: Split complimentary. Blue, red and yellow.
6. Top Thing Learned: I learned that it is very difficult to create shapes using photoshop. That is why I created them in indesign. I also learned how to make a triangle using the polygon tool.
7. Title Font Name & Category: Bumpo, Sanserif.
8. Copy Font Name & Category: PT Mono, Slab serif

1. Description: This is an event ad. Partially true, I just did not have all the details from the man I talked with about it. I originally new what I wanted to advertise, but I didn’t know how to do it. I knew to use the color orange because of the ball. I started with brighter shades, but then I pulled the blue from the NBA logo in the scanned image. I put a light soft edge around the image. The basketballs in the design took the most time because I had to learn how to get the lines to do what I wanted in Word. Once I created the ball, I grouped the individual parts so that I could copy, paste, and move wherever I wanted.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): This project was created using mostly Microsoft Mac 2016 and a little of Mac 2011
3. Message: Play basketball for charity.
4. Audience: Young people age 18-28
5. Color scheme and color names: Complimentary. Blue and orange.
6. Top Thing Learned: Top thing I learned was how to manipulate the lines to be the way I wanted them to be.
7. Title Font Name & Category: Costa Rica, Sanserif.
8. Copy Font Name & Category: Consolas, Slab serif
9. Scanned images used, sources, original sizes, location of scanner used: Image used was in a Sports Illustrated magazine I found in the McKay library.
