Objective
Create a spiritual poster using images and type using layers.
Description
This is a spiritual poster montage made of images and type.
Process
The first image I placed in photoshop was the picture of the hand. I used the clone stamp to hide any
unwanted peices to the picture as to not distract from the focus of th image. I then added the sheet
music picture and then the background texture. I changed the blend mode and opacity to make them
visually pleasing. I used the brush tool to wipe out any part of the background I did not want showing,.

Objective
Design consistent layouts and branding for a business card and letterhead.
Description
A letterhead, front and back of a business card for the company I designed the logo for.
Process
The first thing I did was desing a logo for a company. I used the design of that logo to create the front
and back of a business card as well as a letterhead. I used the pink form the middle of the flower to create
the block of color on the bottom of the front of the business card and created unity by adding the same
block of color to the letterhead. I reused the color as the back of the business card. I also created unity by
using a line of pink under the logo and next to the contact information in the letterhead.

Process
I drove to the canyon and took a picture with the fall colors and placed that picture in Photoshop. I
didn’t want to cover any of the picture up with solid colord shapes that would distract from the picture.
I used transparent circles as my shapes to create unity with the curve of the road and the beauty of the
picture. From there I added the type and circles of color to show off my fall color scheme I had chosen.
