Tri-fold Brochure promoting the
attractions of the state of Ohio.
July 7, 2016
Comm 130: Visual Media - Section 5
Emily Kunz
Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
Adobe InDesign
Design a brochure that features a
full-bleed, logo, quality photos and
text-wrapping.
I designed a keyhole reveal in the
shape of the state of Ohio for the
brochure cover that reveals a photo of
the state flag. I manipulated photos to
appear as chalk drawings to
match the look and feel of the
chalboard style used in the
background and font-styling. After
several test prints all the elements were
lined up properly. The result was a
professional yet “homey” brochure
celebrating the state of Ohio.

A graphic representation of facts,

Emily Kunz
Adobe Illustrator,
Provide information regarding the
states most favorable to military
retirees. The information should be
visually engaging. Creating the
graphics was an integral part of this
project.
I researched a topic that was
important to our family several years
ago, the best places for military
families to retire. After collecting the
data I wanted to present I worked on
organizing it in a way that would
attract attention but be easily
comprehended. I drew the graphics in
Illustrator and also created a chart
in Illustrator for showing some of the
data. The end result was a long flier
that looked patriotic with many facts
needed when making a decision about
where to permanently reside at the end
of a military career.

A website homepage for a business. A
16 column grid was used.

Comm 130: Visual Media - Section 5
Emily Kunz
Adobe Illustrator,
Design a website that would showcase
a business and their services. The site
would grab the attention of the public
browsing the Internet for similar services.
This site would serve as the
web-presence of said business.
I had been working with a business
identity for several previous weeks. This
project represents a culmination of that
process. The website reflects the
nature of the handyman business it
represents. It is rustic and
old-fashioned looking as are the tasks
you would expect a handyman to do.
The site also showcases the many
services a handyman can preform on
an everyday basis or seasonally.

An uplifting image that echos the text

Emily Kunz
Adobe Photoshop,
Design a new image in Photoshop from
multiple photos to create a message
with the image and a spiritual thought
in text.
In Photoshop I imported two images
and then searched for a third texture
image to incorporate as well. I found
the lace image and removed the
background from the threads. Working
with all three images I blended them
into one image and applied the text
of a favorite hymn.

Design a website using HTML and CSS
to showcase the creation of the logo
of the business identity I created a few
weeks previously.
I created an HTML file and a CSS file.
I customized the information that had
been provided to match the look and
feel of the business identity I was
creating through these projects.

Printed material used by a handyman
promoting his business
June 1, 2016
Comm 130: Visual Media - Section 5
Emily Kunz
Adobe Illustrator
Creating a complete business identity
through printed material for a business
that incorporates a new business logo.
I created several business logos, sought
feedback and voting for the best
design. I then refined the logo that
received the most favorable comments.
I worked to incorporate the logo into
a letterhead and then a business card.
Because this is a handyman business
and tool-centric I incorporated many
tools into the design and made the
business card a measuring tool itself.

A photo that depicts traveling towards
home.
May 18, 2016
Comm 130: Visual Media - Section 5
Emily Kunz
Adobe Photoshop
Thoughtfully compose a photo with
a color scheme already in mind, then
enhance the photo with the Photoshop
program and a message to create
more impact.
I took a photo of the railroad lines with
a vanishing point. I used Photoshop to
enhance the colors of the sky, the trees
and the rails. I incorparted the words
to a song that evokes the feeling of
traveling towards home at the end of a
long journey to find yourself.

An online presentation that helps

purchasing a home.

Emily Kunz
Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
Provide first-time homebuyers with
a brief tutorial regarding the order
of events that lead to a successful
home-buying experience.
I drew several of the elements for this
design in Illustrator. I also manipulated
found illustrations in Photoshop to use
in the Prezi program. I worked with the
program to reveal certain elements as
the user went through the presentation
instead of starting with a cluttered
overall view. The end shot shows all
the elements for a summary of what was
presented.

A mock-up of a magazine cover that
reflects a part of my personality
May 4, 2016
Comm 130: Visual Media - Section 5
Emily Kunz
Adobe Photoshop and InDesign
Reveal part of my personality in a fun
magazine cover.
I used sketches and a shape map
to start my project. I took a photo of
myself and erased the background for
the covershot. I decided to showcase
one of my less-than-desirable traits
in a humorous manner by naming the
magazine “Procrastinator’s Monthly”. I
arranged several articles around the
edge of the magazine with a circle to
show case one article.
