This assignment, consisted of designing a logo, then coming up with 2 different layouts or colors for the client to pick from. The company we were designing a logo for is an Organic food catering company. The name of the company is “Back to Basics” Organic catering Services. The company was looking for an organic feel for their logo that will be clean, and fresh. It needed to be two-sided business card. Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3 and InDesign CS3
For this project we had to create a font face poster using the dimensions 8.5″ x 11″ and had to be created entirely in InDesign. We had to pick a font face and research its history and background and create a poster around the font in question. The font I chose was Georgia. Software: Adobe InDesign CS4
For our final project in web design we had to create another online store website. My website was selling Madonna CD’s. The website was designed from scratch using HTML and CSS. I incorporated a Flash intro with some Madonna music to get the customer into the mood! I added a jquery Carousel, a script I found on the internet, to showcase the CD’s and a lightbox to the jquery carousel so that customers would be able to see the back covers of the CD’s. Javascript was used again for validation, similar to the one used in “Book Magic” website. The css stylesheet switcher was used again but using images (little squares) instead of text. The only difference here we were shown how use the include PHP function and using PHP we created a contact form. Very basic PHP but it was fun! This was one of my favorite websites – it has a little bit of everything! Visit site.

As I mentioned before photography is one of my passions as is traveling. Last summer I went to Greece and was able to take tons of pictures. Using techniques I learned using Photoshop I created some prints of Greece and this is one of my favorites.
This project consisted of creating a website for an online bookstore using HTML/CSS and javascript. We had to include a css stylesheet switcher and javascript validations. Since we were able to use javascript for this assignment I decided to add an accordion script to display the books. Although I didn’t write the javascript code for the accordion (that is for programmers!) I had to figure out how to include it and set it up properly into the website. The other part of this project was to create very simple javascript functions to validate the order form. Using the internet to find regular expressions for our validation also led us to many other validation scripts that we ended up using as examples. Again this site is live on a free-web hosting site (which sometimes loads slowly) – view here.

Our first project in web design was to create a website on a tutorial of our choice. It had to be created using only HTML and CSS. I created a website on photography, since that is my favorite hobby. The websites were all put on a free web hosting site for us to be able to see it live. Software used was a simple text editor of our choice.
This assignment was to create logos in Illustrator. The objective was to choose one animal and with that animal develop logos. The animal had to be a custom design illustration, and had to be fitting for each logo. It was important that when choosing the animal and the company, to we compared the characteristics of the company to those of the animal. Software: Adobe Illustrator CS4
Another project in designing logos in Photoshop – this time it was for a high-end jewelry store called “Bianchi”. Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3
A logo is what will refer to a company’s identity with its visual impact and that is how branding begins. This project was to create a logo for a fictitious movie network called “Neverland”. The information given was that it was a movie channel that would be showing movies like “Charlie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, “Neverland” and “Alice in Wonderland”. It would be a family oriented channel. Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Wacom tablet
