MONTAGE
Description:
Create a spiritual montage using at least two images. The images must be blended using layer masks so there are no hard
edges. The montage needs to be at least 1650X1275.

Date:
October 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Program:
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:
To send the message that Christ is the way, and that it is never
too late to choose His way.

Process:
I started by figuring out the message. I wanted to portray that
Christ was the way. Then I found an image of Christ, and an
image of a pathway. I then found the quote from President Uchtdorf. Then I went to work putting together the montage. I placed
the path as the background image. Then I placed the entire image of Christ over the top of the image. I sized it down to fit right
at the end of the path. Then I used a layer mask to eliminate
the parts of the picture I didn’t want. Then I softened the edges
by decreasing opacity and using a soft brush. Once the images
were in place I put my text on the image to follow the path.

To those who have left the path
of discipleship for whatever reason, I
invite you to start where you are...Walk
the right time to walk in His way.

It is never
too late.

-PRESIDENT

DIETER F. UCHTDORF

LOGOS
Description:
Design three different variations of a logo for a company.

Date:
November 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Program:
Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:
Provide business owner with logos they are both pleased with
and appeal to their customer base.

Process:
I started the process by sketching out various designs. Then I
created them using the pen tool and the white selection arrow
in Illustrator. Once the images were created I went to work
finding fonts that would go well with the design. Finally I went
to work to pick color schemes. After the initial designs were
complete I asked a variety of individuals what they thought of
the designs, then went back and adapted the logos based on
feedback. The most interesting part came when I went back to
the individuals with the final draft and asked which version they
liked best. I was surprised at how many people changed from
their initial response.

LETTERHEAD
Description:
Design letterhead for an individual working at a company.

Date:
November 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Programs:
Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign

Objectives:
Provide a simple, interesting design to enhance the brand of
Peanut Party Planning.

Process:
The process was interesting and fun. I began by creating the
logo and icons in Adobe illustrator. Once they were created I
moved over to Adobe Indesign to create the stationery. I used a
bold cold scheme that would appeal to parents. I kept it simple
because of the dominant color scheme. The watermark was
may favorite part because of the quirkiness and fun it provided
to the design.

BUSINESS CARD
Description:
Create a business card to coordinate with the letterhead.

Date:
November 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Programs:
Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign

Objectives:
Create clear simple design to promote company and create
interest in services provided.

Process:
I began by creating the logo in illustrator. With the logo created
I went to indesign and designed the business card and inserted
the logo into the design.

BROCHURE
Description:
Create a full color, folding brochure to promote a company or
product.

Date:
December 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Programs:
Adobe Indesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:
Promote quality lessons to parents looking for way to prepare
their children for school.

Process:
I started by sketching thumbnails of the designs I wanted to
use with paper and pencil. After I had an idea I turned to the
computer. I used indesign to create a grid and created my rough
draft of the brochure from the thumbnails I had created. Once
I had a rough design I turned to Illustrator to design my logo. I
used the pen tool, type tool, and pathfinder tools in illustrator
to create the logo for my brochure. Then I placed the required
images into indesign.
After receiving critiques I decided to change my design quite
drastically. I decided to use a chalkboard background. I eliminated the background of an image and brought it back into
indesign. For this project I ended up using Illustrator, Indesign
and Photoshop to create my brochure.

the products

Here at Stepping Stones we believe that a parent is the first and most important teacher a child
will have. We believe children learn best in their home environment. So we created products
to allow parents to continue to teach their preschool age children rather then send them to
preschool.

These lessons have been taught in our own homes for years and now we want to share them
with you, from our home to yours.

FLIER
Description:
Design a promotional flier for a company having a conference
for graduating seniors.

Date:
October 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Program:
Adobe Indesign

Objectives:
Create a design that appeals to graduating seniors. Create interested and move them to action.

Process:
I started by gathering the information needed and examined
what the company was trying to promote. Then I sketched out
multiple designs that could be used. Then I went to InDesign
where I made two different drafts to be critiqued. Once the
drafts were done I had multiple individuals review the designs
to share what was strong and what could be improved. I edited
the design to included the suggestions and printed the flier.

EVENT AD
Description:
We were asked to create an event ad using only an image
scanned into our computer and Microsoft Word.

Date:
October 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Program:
Microsoft Word

Objectives:
The goal was to show that we could create a pleasing design
without access to a design program.

Process:
I started by figuring out what type of event I wanted to advertise.
Then I had to go to work to find an image that would promote
the event. I learned that it is extremely difficult to scan an image
from a magazine because it scans in the texture from the magazine and makes it look somewhat blurry. I finally went to work
in Word an put together a pleasing advertisement. I took the ad
and got it critiqued from multiple sources. Then went back and
revised based on the critique that was received. Finally, I printed the advertisement.

WEB PAGE
Description:
Create a webpage to showcase a logo created this semester.

Date:
November 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Program:
Text Wrangler, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator

Objectives:
Provide website that enhances the color schem of previously
designed logo, and showcase the process of designing the logo.

Process:
First I created an html document and put all of the pertinent
information into that document. Then I used the CSS document
that was provided as a basis to manipulate the way the webpage looked. I linked the CSS and HTML documents to create
the webpage.
Once the documents were linked I opened my png logo in Photoshop to figure out the hex colors to be able to provide an appropriate color scheme to webpage. Then I had multiple people
look at the design and critique the webpage. From there I took
the critiques and made more adjustments to the webpage.

IMAGING
Description:
Shoot, edit and display a photograph using a color scheme.

Date:
October 2014

Course/Instructor:
Visual Media/Ben Pingel

Program:
Adobe Photoshop

Objectives:
Create a PSD that showcases a photograph.

Process:
I started by looking over the different color schemes in the
FOCUS book. Then I decided to take a walk outside and look for
the different schemes. It was incredible to me how many different schemes were so easily found in my very own backyard. We
have a flower bush, a small stream and lots of trees all along
our property line. I was mesmerized by one particular tree that
had these round balls falling from it. I immediately noticed a
split complimentary scheme and decided to take photos. I took
pictures of the tree, the balls hanging from it and many that had
fallen all around it. I then went to photoshop where I edited the
photo I decided on then created a poster all within photoshop.
I decided to focus on circles because of the shape of the image
I shot. I found it difficult to work with text within photoshop and
have decided to spend more time improving my skills there.
Overall, it was great to start with a color scheme and use it.
