Nicole Nugent

Adobe InDesign

To promote my art and design skills to the

public and those who need my services.

I put some of my artwork together in my

project folder and opened a new document

in Adobe inDesign. I decided that I wanted to

make it colorful and I already new what style

I wanted to do, an offset brochure, simple and

nice! I put my pictures together in the best

way I think people’s eye ow will read what

I input. At rst my letter were big because

I did not realize that I was actually going to

print on paper so I decided to make the font

10p so that way it ts information and it is

still readable. I used my two favorite fonts,

ProMinion and Russo. I designed this as a way

to represent myself and how I am in real life.

My logo was done in Adobe Illustrator of a catbecause I love cats. and I made rhythm and

repetition through my colorful boxes and made

sure everything aligned nicely.

Adobe Illustrator

I am a web designer and can make website

for you and to tell companies in need of

a new look for their media site that I am

hireable.

This was my rst time ever using Adobe

Illustrator and I enjoyed it very much. I love

designing logos and custom icons, so this was

incredibly refreshing to me. I started sketching

out design that I liked and when I did them

on Illustrator many things changed, but I was

satised with the nal products. I used a script

font and a sans serif so that these will stand

out more. I changed to grayscale and found out

that my “Web Design” was not showing up very

well so I made it darker so that anyone else is

able to see it better. The color scheme is split

complementary and I enjoy the colors becausethey seem pretty chill, special for the type of

eld I am in.

This is a House of Foxes for injured foxes

that have been involved in road accidents.

For anyone that knows of any lost, injured,or sick foxes that people can take care of

before getting them back to their habitat, or

take care of them

I used the rectangle tool to create the front

and back outlines for the cards. I then placed

the logo as I desired and thought it would look

nice on the design. I made sure that the title

popped out on the front page and notices my

triangle looked like a house, so it was quite

tting. I decided to cotnrast the back of the

cards by making it ourple so the white pops

out and put half of my logo on the back to becreative.

My letterhead was the most fun one because

with the logo I created I was able to have fun

and the colors looked nice together so I added

the message and title at the top and then

moved on to the bottom, but I tried making it

small so that people have a way to write. Then

In illustrator I grayscaled the original logo and

when added to InDesign I changed the opacity

to create a watermark.

This ier is for people that want to learn

real life skills in business. People that want

to grow good leadership skills, specially

students that are looking into working in

this area.

With the images given I decided to start by

sketching out a design that I was comfortable

with. I ended up sketching four of them and

with those I brainstormed and came up with a

nal design. Through this I chose the images

and xed some of the grammar involved in the

text. I decided to give repetition by keeping

squares and contrasting with the colors of the

logo.

To emphasize everyones divine worth by

using jesus and a sheep to remind people of

the parabole that the shepperd always goes

looking for his sheep because to him that

sheep is important.

I started out by placing the image on a

8.5x11in canvas and staring at it until I felt

like I had a good idea of where I wanted to put

my images that I already had saved. I opened

the other 3 images on a separate le and cut

them and used my rene edge to get them how

I wanted. I cut them and placed them on my

image and I moved unto masking them so they

look nice. I masked them using a brush at

100% opacity and 100% ow and big, so that it

looks smooth. I started designing the text and I

really liked the fonts so I decided to use them,so with that I decided to emphasize words the

best way possible and that was through using

shapes, thus I have this rectangle. Yay! I used

Adobe Photoshop.

The message is to encourage artists to share

their talents and allow other to see them in

a different light. To help everyone to be open

to art and to become closer together through

what society sees belittling when it should be

a big part of our everyday life and culture.

I scanned an image from a LDS magazine

and used it to start brainstorming my design.

My design changed throughout the process

as I was also trying to match with the color

scheme. Then, I added the text and made sure

the alignment was pleasing to the eye and also

readable. The design itself used to be of color

purple and gold, but I noticed that they did not

match very well the image and there was not

a lot of contrasts or harmony, so I decided to

go with purple and pink. Since the audience’s

main focus will start at the phot itself I decided

to put some information on it so that their eyeswill go directly to it. Lastly, I changed the font

color to white.

Inspiration poster to practice imaging and

This is to demonstrate my photo editing

skills and ier design in order to

communicate a message to others through

art.

I went by the Taylor Building in BYU-Idaho

and took this image of the trees that surround

it. This is a focused image to the front so that

the back is blurry.

I started by choosing the colors I needed from

the VISUAL focus color wheel and started

going around taking pictures of what might

look just like a color scheme from there. I

sketched out different design ideas with the

picture I was going to use. AS I was designing

in Photoshop and editing my picture I would

sketch out my ideas so that later on I can

have a sketch and visualization of what I

needed and as I designed I changed it around.

When I decided to change it and edit it forthe better I changed the colors to black so

that the text will pop out and have a better

contrast. yet, still complementing it with the

original colors that the photo has.

Sublime Text 3

To showcase my artworks and web design

skills to anyone that is in need for it.

I used the template that was given to me frommy COMM130 class and decided to made a few

changes to it. At rst this was going to be all

about foxes, but I remembered that I had more

logos that I really liked and so I was going to

use one of them. The text editor I use (on daily

basis) is Sublime Text 2 because it is really

nice and it xes things for you. So I decided to

add a gradient background to give simplicity

and yet aesthetic. I decided to make the rst

image, logo and introductions centered so that

that when it comes to the list of steps it is

aligned different and it shows more skills.

I typed out my steps that I took for my logo

design and then decided to add more images in

order to create some sort of interesting into theaudience.

Adobe Photoshop CC

This started out as an idea on paper and

decided to move on with drawing it digitally. I

started with the digital sketches for this and

moved on to doing the outlines. After I nished

with the outline I decided to color in and do the

background. the background has not outlines

because after coloring in I decided to blur the

background so it seems that it is at a distance.

An illustration/fan art of the indie game

Undertale by Toby Fox.

Programs/tools

Process

Adobe Photoshop CC

It started out with a sketch and many google

searches for the image reference I wanted to

draw. From there I decided to start designing

Muffet, the character from Undertale. The

outlines have become easier over the years so

I decided to make them light so when I color it

is not so thick that it idsturbs from the colors.

Her outt is monochromatic red, as shown inthe game. The colors were chosen by reference

to the actual design of the game. I decided to

give her a chair and make her legs long because

she is a spider.
