Portfolio (Scribd.com):

Project Corrections / Time spent:

Montage Project- Fixed rock masking by removing it, retouched the ship and changed the alignment and type of text.

42 minutes

Web Project- Changed background color to provide more contrast with the text.

22 minutes

Stationery and Business Cards- Complete re-design. New coloring, new font and removed the watermark.

1 hour

Photo design project-Total re-design. I really didn’t like the colors I used in my first project so I switched the color scheme to different shades of teal in a monochromatic color scheme.  I removed the coloring from her lips and changed the fonts so it would stand out better. I am much happier with this project than the other.

46 minutes

Flier Project total redo: The file was missing so I re-did the entire project. I matched it to how it looked before but changed the text a little bit and made it look a little cleaner with its alignment.

48 Minutes

Total time spent: 3 hours 18 minutes

  • Message: The message I wanted to portray was a little bit of my style. I love the natural teal and green and blue colors and I like simple designs. I love the use of shapes and I used a lot of lines. I hope that it is easy to read and captures my design style.
  • Audience: Any potential job offers, those that want to see my work
  • Top Thing Learned: I learned that I can post in pdf form to look like a book at scribd.com. I also learned how to use Master Pages and it really helps a lot with a big project.
  • Future application of Visual Media: I plan on using what I have learned in visual media for the rest of my life. I hope to maintain my Adobe design skills and continue learning more about how to use it. I hope to always use it in the work field. I am starting a new job with the Academic Discovery Center where I will need to use WordPress skills as well as content creation. I am happy that I have the experience that I do and I hope to obtain much more design abilities in semesters to come.

  1. Description:Brochure: Tri-fold
  2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): A unique, original logo was made in Adobe Illustrator using a monochromatic color scheme. The Logo was then brought into Adobe Indesign to put on the brochure. The brochure was made on an 8.5 x 11 layout and split into thirds. The picture of the couple on the inside of the brochure was brought into Photoshop and by using the quick selection tool, the couple was cut out of the background picture. The selection was saved and then brought into Indesign as well. The text was formatted to wrap around the picture. The paragraphs inside the brochure also had specific paragraph settings applied to them. After all was added to Indesign the brochure was printed, checked for margins and folded into thirds.
  3. Message: The message is a simple, fun wedding invitation design company that is more than ready to take on any challenge and ready to help you create your dream invitation.
  4. Audience: Adults age 18-40, those of marriage age or higher. Parents of the bride and groom may also be interested.
  5. Top Thing Learned: I learned so much. I learned how to correctly size a brochure. I learned how to design to the fold. I learned how to print double sided. I learned how to design paragraph styles as well as how to wrap text around a picture.
