1. Description:A two sided (duplex) folding brochure.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): The first thing I did was create a logo so that when I went to start working on my brochure I would have a little more direction. I created the hexagon shape by using the pen tool and I created the tent with the shape tool. Once my logo was complete I started creating my brochure. I decided to do a tri-fold design so I set up the layout so that I knew what needed to go where. Once there are created the shapes such as the hexagons, trees, tents, and picture shapes with the pen tool. I then went in a added text boxes and adjusted them so they went along with the shapes. I also had to cut out a bird from a picture in Photoshop and insert it into the design then wrap text around it. The programs I used where Indesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

Project 4 Montage

1. Description: This is a spiritually theme montage that focuses on blending two images and mastering topography.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing)
   I found the two images I wanted to use and set one as a background. Then I took the other image cut it out and put it on top of the other one. I had to flip the picture of the sister missionaries because they were facing the wrong way. I then blended the two pictures together. This step took a lot of work to get it just right. I then designed by text. I put a white box around the words to make them more legible. I only used one font but different line weights and styles to add emphasis. Finally I added a film grain filter (fitting for the theme) and masked out the bottom portion of the picture so only the sky had the filter.
3. Message:
   I wanted to have a missionary themed message and I felt like a lot of LDS people would relate with the scripture that I used.

   Young Latter-day Saints
5. Top Thing Learned:
   I learned how to create a mask layer which is incredibly useful. I also learned how to add texture to a design although I did not incorporate that skill into my design.

Project 1: Flier

1. Description: Black and white flier to advertise for a graduation leadership conference.

1. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills) I drew out four sketches and then I chose the one I liked the best. I then took that design and laid it out using Adobe InDesign. I put the picture on a black background to add contrast. I added further contrast by increasing the title font size to make it stand out. I created repetition by using grey boxes on the top and bottom. I left white space that is useful and not trapped. I used a small font size for the body so it wasn’t distracting but still large enough to read.
2. Message: I am trying to convince graduate students to come to a leadership conferences by explaining the benefits of it.
