Create a brochure that relates to a logo that you have created.

Firstly, I opened up Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign. I first decided to use Photoshop to create my front page. To do this, I used the Stencil STD font and wrote my company name Swoll Fitness. Once I did this, I saved it, opened it up in Indesign, and rotated it so that it would bleed off of the page a bit with a sloped angle. Secondly, I worked on the back of my brochure. To do this I used my old logo from a previous project and placed it at the bottom of the page. After this, I found the body builder guy and put it on top of my original logo to give it the look as if he is lifting my logo. Another reason I did this was to give my logo more character to not be as plain. Once this was done, I found the guy doing the ring dips and put it at the top of the page to make it look like it was hanging from the top of the page. I did this to add another picture and to give it more character. Thirdly, I began to outline the inside of my brochure. Firstly, I found the hand holding the dumbbell on Google images. I took this image and placed it on the top left of my page. I then use the option key and made a copy of it and then flipped it horizontally. Once this was done, I placed it on the right side of the page to give it repetition and contrast from the text and logo that was to come. After this, I placed my text with the Stencil STD as my heading font and Minion Pro as my body text. I aligned it so I would be able to have good alignment, flow and proximity. Once this was in place I copied the logo from the back page and centered it at the bottom of the inside of the brochure. To finish it off, I put a black line on both sides of the logo to give it more flow. Lastly, I opened Photoshop again and used the Stencil STD to make the Swoll Team phrase. I put this at the bottom of the inside page stretching across the entire page. i did this to make it flow and to give it character.

Logos

Program(s) & Tools:

Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:

Create a variety of logos to fit a company or personal image. Use the basic tools of Illustrator.

Process:

This was a very interesting project using Adobe Illustrator. There was multiple steps that took place when creating these logos. The first logo was the most difficult because I had to create the body behind the text. To make the entire background body I used the arc tool. The next thing I did was that I found a text that matched the feel of he background and put it in with the body. The second logo I did was to be used as something you would put on a workout bottle or even the side of a t shirt. With this one I wrote out the word Swoll and then rotated it to be a vertical text. Then I spelled fit underneath to represent what the company was about. The third logo I put the word Swoll in the middle and then used the line tool to make the weights coming off of the sides of the lettering. With this, I made the line thicker to show the size of the different weights. After this, I put the rest of the companies name underneath the text and weights to bring everything together. After this I center aligned everything I did.

Montage

Program(s) & Tools:

Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:

Learn to manage Photoshop layers. Learn to blend images together smoothly, using masks. Use filters. Apply appropriate typography.

Process:

I first cropped the background image as an 8.511. After this, I imported the three images into place and used the masking tool to soften and blend the images into the background image. After I did this, I brought back color where needed and made sure I blended the images where needed. I then felt like the three additional images were bland so I decided to sharpen them to make certain pats of the image pop. Once is was done, I put in the Go Bolts and decided to use a demanding font and used the same color as the Chargers symbol with the following blending options: bevel & emboss, contour, stroke, and inner glow. Lastly, I contrasted the lettering by making the Go smaller and also aligned the lettering with the images below and with each other.

Letterhead

Program(s) & Tools:

Adobe Indesign

Objectives:

Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image. Design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead. Use the basic tools of Illustrator & InDesign.

Process:

First, I thought of a logo for my company. Using the circle tool, I created a large circle, a medium sized circle, and a small circle. with the medium circle I deleted half of it to create the smiley face. Then with the option button I was able to duplicate the smaller circle to create eyes. After this was done to applied it to the letter head and placed it at the right hand corner and turned down the opacity so it wouldnt take away from the ability to write on the paper. Once this was done I wrote the name of the company at the top and put the yellow and blue stripes on both sides of it. I chose these colors because is a brighter theme which I thought would catch others eyes and especially childrens eyes. I then decided to make this color my theme color overall. After I did this, I put the information of the company at the bottom with the same colors that I used at the top and I decided that it had everything that was needed and still had enough white space.

Buisness Card

Objectives:

Create a new logo to fit a company or personal image. Design consistent layouts for a business card and letterhead. Use the basic tools of Illustrator & InDesign.

Process:

I first made the background blue and put a yellow border around it. once this was done and copied the logo over and placed it at the bottom. I them used a white font to make it stand out and so it didnt repeat in color too much since the background and the border was the primary colors. After this was done, I put the contact information in next to the face logo. On the back I decided to do what I did to the letter head with the logo. But instead of putting it on the bottom right like I did with the letter head, i decided to center it. I then put my name and email and felt that this looked good as well.

Design Web Page that describes a logo.

There were several steps that were taken when creating this web page. Firstly, I opened TextWranger up and opened up the HTML/CSS documents given on I Learn. When thinking of colors to use for my page it was very difficult for me. Originally I used grey and black because it made it all flow together but i felt that this was too bland. So the one color that I found that would flow but still pop was green, black, and white. To find the right shade of green that I liked, I used the Program called Photoshop. Here I found the Hex color codes to paste onto the CSS codes for the different colors. After this, I decided to change my fonts to Palatino Linotype, Impact, and Tahoma. The reason I chose these colors was because I wanted to match the logos font but also give contrast in the body text. After I found the right fonts, I found some two backup fonts for each font just in case the viewers browser didnt have these fonts. Once this was done, I right aligned the logo to fill in the awkward spaces that were there before. Lastly, I made the border thicker and used a white background to match the body text. Once I did all of this, I made use that I had all the design principles. With the colors I felt it had contrast and flow. I also felt it had proximity, alignment, and repetition and all went well with each other. After creating everything, the total word count came out to be 326.
