Description:
A complex hexagon shape folding brochure.

Sarah Tranberg
Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Objectives:
Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for the brochure.
Link a Photoshop file with a background cut-out and wrap
the text
Learn paragraph styling for InDesign.
Process:
I started by creating the logo in Illustrator. I kept that
simple. I then created a hexagon layout in InDesign and
combined them into groups of three. This gave place for
background images, one of which was a Photoshop file
wherein I had removed the background. Now I could
enter the text and wrap it around the cut out picture. I
intentionally broke the rules of typography by adding a few
bold colored placed and going with center justified text in
the hexagon. It looked better and reviewed better so I went
with it. It took some work to get the folding sequence right
but it was worth it.

MONTAGE
Description:
An inspirational montage made by the blending of two or
more images, and the use of typography. One image is an
original.

Sarah Tranberg
Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Photoshop
Sony Cybershot Camera
Objectives:
Learn to manage Photoshop layers.
Learn to blend images together smoothly, using masks.
Use filters.
Apply appropriate typography.
Process:
I started off by taking an image of the moon with my point
and shoot camera. Then I cropping the image to a 1:1 ratio
and added a masking layer for blending. Upon finding
an image of Christ and an image of the milky way that fit
together nicely I made the milky way the background added
a blending mask to the picture of Christ for blending. With
black paint and a 100% opacity, soft-edged brush, I painted
away the hard image edges. With a larger black brush at
30% opacity and 30% flow, I blended the image into the
background, so it looks like he is melting into the scene. I
finally added some type with two contrasting fonts and I
added a transparent layer style to some text to make the text
a transparent glow for emphasis.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator
Objectives:
Learn basic illustrator skills.
Learn how to use the adobe pen tool.
Create custom graphics.
Incorporate a chart graphic.
Learn layout techniques.
Process:
I found a picture of the moon that was very detailed and
used it for the header. Then I divided the design into several
categories. This gave me the structure so I could focus on
the content under each category. I first created the moon
graphic with the pen tool and this became a repeating
theme. Repeating and scaling it made the design work. This
lead to the creation of an earth graphic that tied the design
all together. I placed a field of stars for the background and
masked it with a muted color to makes sure the content was
the focus.

Prezi Presentation Platform
Objectives:
Learn InDesign Layout
Apply appropriate typography.
Process:
I designed the entire slide in Adobe InDesign. I found a
free graphic of a teenager online and used that for the center.
That lead to the creation of the tips around the circle. User
rule guides I placed the circles in proportion to each other.
Placing an image that coordinated with the tip in each circle
was next. Finally, I added a bright sunshine background for
happy contrast. The slide being finished, I then imported it

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator
Objectives:
Create a variety of logos to fit a company or personal image.
Use the basic tools of Illustrator.
Process:
This was really fun to create a logo in Illustrator. I used a
vector graphic of a family silhouette for the first logo. The
font Centaur worked well to blend the two together. The
other two logos were made with both text and the pen tool
to make the shapes. Most of the other elements are just
typography, which I balanced with the scale of the graphics.
I also tried getting some more contrast by changing the sizes
of the words.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe InDesign
Objectives:
Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image.
Design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead.
Use the basic tools of Illustrator & InDesign.
Process:
I used the rectangle tool to create the front and back out-
line of my business card. I then copied/pasted the logo and
contact information onto this page. I used the back of the
card to simply display the company logo in a clean design.
The front of the card uses a portrait and has contact info. The
margins are all uniform. The stationary uses both the compa-
ny logo and the deign pattern of the business card.

Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Brackets Text Editor
CSS / HTML
Objectives:
Size and optimize an original logo as a .png for a web page.
Write content to describe the process of creating your logo and how
it appeals to a target audience.
Design a web page using HTML to display a logo and content.
Acquire a working knowledge of HTML and basic understanding
of CSS.
Identify hex colors for web design.
Compress multiple files in a zipped folder to attach as one file.
Process:
I created this web page using only Adobe Brackets. After I marked
up all my content and inserted my image, I attached a pre-made
CSS document to my HTML. I then used the colors from my logo
as the colors for my web page. I found these colors by opening
Photoshop and using the hex code in the color palette. I also
changed my fonts to Times New Roman. I declared some backup
fonts just in case the viewer’s browser didn’t have these fonts. I
made a visual walk through using images of the design process.
I also incorporated a hand draw look with some script text in the
Reenie Beanie font along with a hand drawn arrow graphic that
was incorporated into my list.

the image adjustment tools to make the picker a bit more
vibrant. Then I used the color picker tool to make the text
colors match the red comb of the rooster.
