LOGO
  1. Description: Business Card, Stationary and Logo for Samantha Sweet Photography
  2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): Using Illustrator I created a round logo with multiple little squares to make it look like a  sound board. I then put an S and 2 and shaped it to look like the connected to create a heard. Next I would use InDesign to create the business cards and Stationary. I created two 3.5×2 regtangles to create the shape of the cards. I would then creat the sound board on the bottom of the front of the card. Then I would put Samantha Sweet Photography above that. On the back I would paste my logo and put my information. I would also put squares on the back just to continue with square theme I had going. WIth the stationary I would paste the sound board again but lower the opacity Plus give it a gradient of lighter at the top and higher at the bottom. Then I would put my information at the top left hand corner and my logo it the right hand corner.
  3. Message:  I am a photographer and I take and edit pictures with love. I also hope to convey that I do band photography.
  4. Audience: My audience was aimed towards people who like photography but i made it music related by adding the squares to look like sound and pitches that you see on a sound board. A lot of my photography is of artist and bands. I also made the S and the 2 creat a heart beacuse of engagement photos and wedding photos.
  5. Top Thing Learned: I learne of an object.d how to use the gradient tool and how to lower the opacity

  1. Description: Logo designed for a Band Photography Company
  2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): Using Adobe illustrator I created three logo. I made a round path for the Words ” Sweet Band Photography”. The i made a circle and filled it with five lines to make it look like a musical staff. I would then take and S put a line though it and circle at the bottom of it to create a Treble Clef.
  3. Message: With music logo tend to look very High School Marching Band. I wanted a log that was simple and would look good with band photography. I used an S for the Treble Clef since of Sweet.
  4. Audience: Any one who likes music and pictures of band performances.
  5. Top Thing Learned: I learned that less is more sometimes. I had great ideas for logos at first but they were too much and reminded us of a high school marching band. So I took the best parts and my favorite parts from each of them and made these logos.

P4 Montage

P4SamanthaSweet

  1. Description: A montage of a girl holding a Dream Catcher.
  2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing): Using photoshop, I was able to take three pictures and blend them to creat this master piece.
    1. I would start with a sunset picture of the girl holding a dream catcher and apply a filter to make it black and white.
    2. I would then play with the color to darken it and make it look like a silouette of a  girl.
    3. Next i would overlay the galaxy picture and erase it off the girl.
    4. I took the temple picture and made it smaller and put it on Linear Light.
    5. lastly I would erase the edges, to round it off so it was just inside the Dream Catcher.
  3. Message: If we have high standards for ourself we stop being of the world and put better priorities for ourselves including putting the lord first. We have the ability to be Dream Catchers. To make our hope and dreams come true. Plus, if we are doing it right, it will align with the lords plan.
  4. Audience: My audience is anyone who has a hope, dream and goals for themselves. A dream catcher can hold anything in it. For me it holds a temple but it can be anything.
  5. Top Thing Learned: I learned that photoshop takes patiences espicially when it comes to blending photos together. i think it tok atleast 5 times for me to get this right and the way I wanted to look.
  6. Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: Black and White Filter applied to the sunset picture. Darken it a little to make the girl just a silhouette.

P2 Event Flier

P2SamanthaSweet-page-001

  1. Description: An event flier of a charity concert.
  2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I used word to create this flier and to edit the photos. I wanted the flow just to be simple. One side has the information while one side is more  decrotative and gives a pop of color.
  3. Message: There is many disability in the world and this is one that means something to a lot of people. It is not always simple to understand someones mind. Hope for a day is an actual compant that holds tour for this reason and to give people hope.
  4. Audience: My Audience is more people who have had problems with Mental Disabilities. Also considering the bands I chose, people who like rock and roll and punk rock would be interested.
  5. Color scheme and color names: Greens monochromatic. I chose this color because the colors for Mental Health awareness is green.
  6. Top Thing Learned: The top think I learned was that it takes a couple tries to get something to look the way you want it too. I changed my flier because I ended up really hated what I originally had.
  7. Title Font Name & Category: Harlow Solid Italic (Descriptive)
  8. Copy Font Name & Category: Book Antiqua (San Serifs)

Project 1 Flier

SamanthaSweetInDesignFlier

 

  • Description: The design of the flier I went with was an upward bound angle (consider we read left to right) with following the rules of thirds. I wanted to have it at angle for a deeper meaning. After graduating tyou want your life to continue to progress and you want to move up in life. This is what hopefully most college graduates to do.
  • Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): To create this I used indesign. I really want to focus on the message of this and the focal point with the flow. I also just wanted a simple black and white contrast. So I used some thick black lines to contrast the words and the picture.
  • Message: My message that I want to portray though this flier is that though this event college graduate can come to this event and learn how to progress and move up in life.
  • Audience: My audience is college students who are on the go. I want them to see the most important information first and if they are interested they will continue to read and to learn more about the event.
  • Top Thing Learned: One thing I learned from this is how to play with shapes and to give the flier a fun yet interesting flow. I liked that I got to play with different tools in InDesign to create this flier.
