3. Description: Create a spiritual poster using a montage of
images.
Date: October 19, 2016
Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Illistrator, photoshop
Color Schemes: Bichromatic Green, Pink, Gray, White, Black
Font Name: Avenir, stan sarif; Beyond the Mountain, decorative.
Process: I picked a quote from C.S. Lewis because he is a famous Christian
author. Then I went through my harddrive and selected a few photographs
that would go with the quote. I picked out a couple of images that went
together nicely but then I decided to keep it cleaner and eliminated all
but two of the images. I added a screen filter to my main black and white
photograph of the young women. I then cleaned up the background be-
hind her and sharpened her face. I added multiple over laying layers of
the original geyser image, then I used the smudge tool at 35% opacity
to blend the edges making it look more like clouds. I added my text and
downloaded interesting fonts from Dafont for my keywords. The last thing
I did was adding color to the clouds and the key word: destiny.
Destiny

4. Discription: An infographic that was created to shed
awareness of the destructions of the grey wolf in Banff
national park.
Date: November 2, 2016
Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Illistrator, photoshop
Color Schemes: Quadratic Blue Red Orange and Green
Font Name: Agusta, decrative; Philosipher, san serif
Process: I created a Layout map for my infographic. I then started finding
vectors I wanted to use for my infographic. I new I wanted a gray wolf and
a caribu but I settled for an elk. I also placed a Hellacopter, American Flag
and Canadian Flag vector. I then surched for maps of both Yellow Stone
and Banff. Once I obtained those I started my resurch. While I was on a
website I found a map showing the gray wolf packs teritory. I photoshoped
the edges to becombe opeque so the viewer would only the nessisary in-
formation. Upon further resurch I created my built points from the quotes
I collected and placed them in the layout. I then modified the layout so it
was more asstetical pleasing. The last thing I did was adding the text to
the title and body.

5. Discription: Utilizing photograph, text, and color scheme
to convey a message.
Date: October 12, 2016
Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Lightroom, Photoshop
Color Schemes: Analogous Green (Marron, Forrest, Green, Tan, Gray)
Font Name: Code Bold, San Serif; Arial, San Serif
Process: I Started this project with the picture. I went out to a park in
Rexburg and I discovered a bueatiful shallow pond. This is where I took
my image. I had to go into the pond to get the angle I wanted, which in
turn, led me to the idea of my title. I edited my photograph in Lightroom
to give it more saturation and contrast . I new I wanted green and red in
my color scheme but I didnt quite know what else. I decided to put my
image into Adobi Color where I was able to pick a red and green with a
few colors in the middle. I added my visuals of the bars and texts to the
layout. Lastly I added my color scheme and decided to use eclipses to
present it.
Dip into the Pond

6. Wanted
Description:
Date: September 28, 2016
Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Photoshop, Lightroom
Color Scheme: Complementary; Pink and Blue
Process: I started this project with an image my friend Aldren took of me.
This photograph was taken with a black background and I decided that
i didnt want ot cut out the image because I loved the light on the back-
ground. I decided instead to add a black layer behind the horisontal im-
age. I created more false lighting with the paint tool so the lighting wasnt
cut where the to meddiams met. I then added the wanted sign above
my head with my paragraph points. I wanted this to be a femai verson of
Wanted so I had pink and blue as a color scheme to reiforce this idea. I
also altered my stories so they were focused around women. I then creat-
ed the barcode to finish it off.

7. Description: Creating a brochure of my company for
future employees and clients to see my work.
Date: November 30, 2016
Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Photoshop, Lightroom, Indesign, Illistrator
Color Scheme: Split complementary; Pink, Blue, Green
Font Name: Thinking of betty, decorative; Champagne and limousine, san serif
Process: I decided to create my entire brochure around an image I took. I
then recreated my logo color scheme to match my image. I also changed
my logo from vertical to horizontal and discarded my circles. I created a
camera vector from scratch in illistrator. I then started to formate my bo-
cher in indesign, where I placed my main image as the background photo
for the front and back of my brochure. I then cut my logo and vector in
half so they would met when the brochure is closed. Next I typed out my
text I wanted to use for the back of my brochure. I went through my ar-
chives and picked nine of my own images and a single image of myself. I
then organized all the photos and cut out the image of me so I could rap
my text around it.
Broshure

8. Description: Creating a Website mokeup for a company
Date: December 7, 2016
Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Photoshop, Lightroom, Ilistrator
Color Scheme and Color Names: Split complementary; Pink, Blue, Green
Title Font & Category: Sign Painter-Housescript, Decrative; Champaza, Serif
Process: First I changed the images so they were all the same size the
eclipse did not work with the pictures being the same size so I made them
all equal. Once I changed my font from black to gray you couldn’t see the
type so I decided to change it to a bolder serif. I realigned everything to
a grid. I then changed my entire color scheme so it’s a triadic green, red,
blue, and a neutral gray. Since all my images were black and white it was
easy to change the color scheme. I got rid of my two vectors on my footer.
The blue and red of the vectors did not match my color scheme and the
cluttered the bottom. I redid my header colors and font. I decided with my
new serif font I didn’t really like my big fluffy decorative font so I changed
it to a more subtle decorative font. I changed my white background to a
gray one. The white stood out too much with all the gray background so I
decided to do the same gray at my text that was surrounded by color.
Web Mockup Revised

Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Photoshop, Lightroom, Illistrator
Color Scheme and Color Names: Analigus: Gold, Orange, red, pink,
Title Font & Category: Thinking of betty, decorative; Champagne and lim-
ousine, san serif
Process: I decided to keep my original color scheme and fonts from my
logo and business card. I created a shape map and schechs to help my
ideas flow. I then opened my business card in adobe illustrator and reor-
ganized the bubbles so they laid more horizontally with the text. I added
circles I was going to put images in with text over top. I also added my
information bar. I then decided to add the gold colors into the logo cir-
cles. I added a pink bar to my information section And a red footer with
my phone number and email. I decided to make my circles not contain
images and make them more eclipse to add some asymmetry. I added an
inspirational quote from my favorite photographer Ansel Adams. I then
went through my images and picked out my favorite to add to the boxes
for my images.

10. Description: In this project I was to create a business
card and letterhead for my future business.
Date: October 26, 2016
Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Illistrator, indesign
Color Scheme and Color: Analogous Gold, Pink, Red, and Maroon
Title Font Name & Category: Champagne and Limousine, Sans Serif;
Thinking of Betty, Decorative
Process: I found an image with a gold and red color scheme and I found
my inspiration. I started with a red background and then created lots of
circles with different shades of red in them. I then added the text and
picked out a nice font. Once I had the font and circles in place I served
the yellow strip around the text with the pen tool. I changed the opacity
of the strip and added two more curved strips. I then moved on to the
back of the card where I copied the circles and placed a few on the left
side as well. I then added my information to the card. I wrote Valerie Fish-
er again but it felt very repetitive. I then changed it to Miss Fisher and
made the outline gold with the center clear. I then moved on to my letter
head. for this I copied the circles and the text from my card. I decided to
add the gold element to the letter head so i decided to do stripes instead
of the swirl.
Buisness Card

HTML and CSS
Date: November 9, 2016
Course: Comm 130-6
Instructor: Vanessa Godfrey
Programs used: Illistrator, Wordtext
Color Scheme and Color: Analogous Gold, Pink, Red, and Maroon
Title Font Name & Category: Didot, san starif; Charter, serif
Process: I created my logo for my photography company in Adobe Illustra-
tor. I created my HTML file and added in my type I wanted on my page. I
added my coding to my type so it would be organized and presented cor-
rectly. I linked my HTML file with my new CSS file. I then looked up a cou-
ple of different fonts i could use for my headers and Body. I put my logo
into a Hex color finder. I changed my text to complement my logo. I de-
cided to make my Headers a darker red and the body a lighter red with a
gold background. All from my original logo. I formated my image correctly
so it would be straight across the text.
