Description:
This is a flier for an oldtimey boxing match made in Photoshop.
Date: Febuary 14, 2014
Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 04 Cory Kerr
Program(s)/Tools: Adobe Photoshop
Objectives: Learn to manage Photoshoplayers. Learn to blend images togethersmoothly, using masks. Use filters. Apply appropriate typography.
Process:I used Photoshop exclusivelyfor this project. I used the
brush tool in conjunction with masking on almost everylayer. I wanted to do anold time boxing flier so Iknew I wanted to make itlook like it was printed onold parchment or ad paper. The most dofficult part was wrangling all of the differentlayers and making them allbehave properly. Masking isdefinitely the most enjoyable
thing I ve done in photoshop.

Description:
A few logos I designed for anarcade called Attract Mode
Date: Febuary 21, 2014
Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 04 Cory Kerr
Program(s)/Tools: Adobe Illustrator
Objectives: Create a variety of logos tofit a company or personalimage. Use the basic tools ofIllustrator.
Process: A bit of history: When anarcade game or machine doesn thave anyone actively playingit goes in to a demo loop
showing all of the cool stuffthe game has to offer to tryand entice people to play it. This demo loop is a calledthe attract mode. I thought Attract Mode would make agreat name for an arcade.I knew that I wanted to getacross an old school feeling without making it look outof touch. My favorite ofthe three is definitely the Attract Mode star. I feel
like this one would do thebest as a logo for thingslike employee s shirts andbusiness cards. It took a lotof messing wth the size andposition of the shapes.

Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 04 Cory Kerr
Program(s)/Tools:
Adobe Illustrator Adobe InDesign
Objectives: Create a new logo to fit acompany or personal image. Design consistent layoutsfor a business card andletterhead. Use the basic tools ofIllustrator & InDesign.
Process: Done in adobe inDesign. Made use of the rectangletool, a lot. The eyedroppertool came in handy for matching colors of the text with the colors of thedesign. I liked the idea ofthe vertical stripe on theside but didn t want it tobe solid all the way down.
I thought it would be kindof boring to just have arectangular break so I usedthe star tool.

Process:I actually really enjoyedthis project. I knew I wanted to continue with
the theme that I ve been working on for most of thesemester and decided todo it for Attract Mode. Istarted off by searchingfor pictures that woulddisplay the kind of arcadeatmosphere I was after. After that I had to findthe perfect background.I m also really fond of
the fonts I used. Theyreally evoke an old schoolfeel. The toughest part wasclipping the arcade cabinetin the bottom left corner.

Program(s)/Tools: Microsoft Word Epson Scanner
Objectives: Find, scan and import a high-quality image. Create a full-bleed design Use text boxes for layout in Word.Insert and edit images in Word.
Process: The image was taken from the February 2014 edition ofrunner s world magazine. Iscanned the image in and didall other editing in Microsoft Word. This probably the mostdifficult project in termsof having to force a programto do something that it just wasn t that good at. It s goodto know that I could do design
work using Microsoft Word if Iabsolutely had to but it justcan t compete with the Adobeproducts. I used the rule ofthirds to help give the ad abit more flow from left toright.
