DESCRIPTIONCreate a logo, business cards, and letterhead with continuity between them all.

PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)1. I first sketched out some ideas for the logo on paper. I had a lot of different options.Week6LogosCarolineWilhite.jpg

2. I sketched and used Illustrator to make some logos digitally.3. I wanted to go with three very different styles.4. I did get votes, but since I started over I didn’t use any of these.7. I used illustrator to create stationary, a letterhead, and business cards front and back.8. I wanted to make sure that the theme and styles were repeated throughout.

CRITIQUE PROCESSI met with Jacob Shillig and Katie Meadows via FaceTime. They both suggested that I incorporate the many languages that the law firm uses.

Facebook Critiques: Adrienne LabareOne-on-One Critique: Jacob ShilligInstructor Critique: It was recommended that I change the circle theme and I decided to head back to the drawing board.

MESSAGEIf you are looking for an immigration attorney this is the place.

AUDIENCEImmigration clients.

TOP THING LEARNEDJust keep going. I had the hardest time when it felt like it was never going to come together. It looked unprofessional for the longest time. I still don’t think I reached the modern professional point yet, but it’s more classic with the legal theme.

DESCRIPTION

Blend images

PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)I first did my project incorrectly and spent many hours watching videos and tutorials. I shed some tears, said some prayers, and tried again (and again).

1. I used Photoshop to combine the two pictures. I created the mon-tage effect by blending the layers with the layer tools, brushes, lasso, and stamp. I did my best to blend the images seamlessly.2. I used my favorite quote from Mother Teresa to create a spiritual message.3. I tried to follow the design principles we have been taught this semester.

CRITIQUE PROCESS

I spent hours sharing my project to my sister in law in person, my husband via facetime, and my friend Katie via google chat. I took their feedback to heart and continued to work until I was able to blend the images like the examples I showed them.

Facebook Critiques were done by various members of my class and Sister Tranberg.One-on-One Critique: Katie MeadowsInstructor Critique: I was told that I used the incorrect method and therefore started over based on this critique.

MESSAGEThat we are to love more than judge.

AUDIENCEThose who wish to love one another as Christ taught us.

TOP THING LEARNEDTry and try and try again. Take the time to pray.

COLOR SCHEME & COLOR NAMESI chose a neutral color scheme of blue, brown, and white.

DescriptionDesign the cover of a magazine that showcases you and attributes about you.Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles) When brainstorming just what I could do a magazine on that centered around myself I thought of my favorite things and China came to mind. I love to travel and it has been the most unique of all the places I’ve been so far. I titled my magazine CHINA and based the about me subtitles around that.My process:1. I first folded a sheet of paper in fourths and sketched the ideas of layouts on each space.2. I then created a shape map using InDesign.3. I took a photo of myself that I later replaced with a previous head shot I had from family photos last year.shape-map4. I began to make my magazine cover by using an 8.5 x 11 inch lay-out page in InDesign.5. I placed my photo.project1thumbnailsa6. I then placed text boxes (to include my personal life quote, budget tips and shopping advice, as well as a snippet about me) where I want-ed to include my information, title, and other about me sections.7. I aligned and edited to change the fonts and sizes.9. Finally, I saved the InDesign file and exported a JPEG at 150 ppi.Critique ProcessI was critiqued on Facebook by David Dale, Celena Rousculp, and Cynthia Bampi. The feedback seemed to be that my fonts were in need of some possible color changes. It was mentioned that I changed the spaces or ” try tightening the leading” for example. I also received feedback from my instructor, Sister Tranberg, about the choice of my photo/background choice that I took to heart and changed. She liked the font/size of my title and so I kept that the same. On Facebook I critiqued quite a few people even though I felt severely under quali-fied to do so. I critiqued Adam Frank, Daniel Wilson, Celena Rous-culp, and most recently Christoper David. I met with Katie Meadows and Emily Ulmer via Facetime to critique my first and second drafts of my magazine cover. These sessions were extremely helpful in re-gards to final product feedback.Message: I wanted to share as much about me as possible, but focus on a concentrated area.Audience: Those who are interested in traveling. Those who might see travel as out of reach, especially China.Top Thing Learned: I learned that changing the main image can drastically change the feel of the magazine from “juvenile” to “profes-sional.”Color Scheme and Colors: Neutral, black & whiteCopy Font Name and CategoryCentury Gothic (San Serif) and Minion Pro (Serif Typeface)

zi DESCRIPTIONCreate a presentation using Prezi.

PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)I had never even heard of Prezi before this assignment so the learning curve was steep. Below are my steps.

1. I am not a naturally artsy person so I went with a simple block design idea. I drew out the design using the rule of thirds.project-1thumbnailsa

2. I downloaded some backgrounds to use from textures.com

3. Next I used InDesign to make the main layout with background and photos.

4. I then went to Prezi to add in my body so that the text would show up at the bottom for the “transcript.”

CRITIQUE PROCESSI shared my presentation with two friends far away and my husband. They helped with some feedback on straightening my fonts and align-ment.

Facebook Critiques: I posted, but due to time contraints was not able to follow-up.One-on-One Critique: Jacob Shillig, my husbandInstructor Critique: I emailed my instructor, but was unable to change things since I was traveling out of the country.

DESCRIPTIONUsing skills learned this semester incorporate a color scheme from an image you photograph.

PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)The steps that I followed in my process were:

1. I decided what color scheme I wanted to use, but then changed it even though my scene was still the sea.2. I did not do a ton to the photo as I wanted it to be as true to the image as possible.3. I went into Photoshop and created a new 8.5 x 11 inch document.4. I then placed my photo over top to create full coverage.5. I added two contrasting fonts, added the color scheme in a way as to not detract from the photo, and allowed the photo to do the talking.

CRITIQUE PROCESSI met with Katie Meadows and Emily Ulmer for my critique via Face Time. The critiques they gave sent me over to Pinterest to help with font ideas and placement.Instructor Critique: It was brought to my attention that the image was not the best quality and since I took it from the boat with my zoom lens I realized that was true and reevaluated.

MESSAGETourism and more specifically, oceanic San Blas tourism.

AUDIENCEFor those who would enjoy the sea.

TOP THING LEARNEDChoose a good image, follow the rules even if it feels like art is with-out rules and subjective.
