From Beginner to Proffessional: Final Project

My website will be used to promote myself by including all of the work I have done throughout the 
semester.  The work I have completed such as the resume, flyer, poster, postcard, brochure, logo, and business card, were uploaded to the portfolio page on the website. These projects relect on how I have grown as a student and communications skills. I never would have throught I could create graphic designs in programs such as InDesign, Illustrator, and photoshop as well as create a website in Dreamweaver. It was a challenge but I worked hard and proud of the work I have completed by the end of the semester. The social media projects tie in with the website I have created in that the website represents myself and the work I have done. The portfolio page shows all of the hard work I put in to this semester as well as my creativity. The resume shows that I have excellent and varied work experience and it’s fun! The flyer shows that I have the ability to attract someone to come to an event with fun subheads. The poster shows that I can create a message to readers in a unique way. The postcard in a representation of who I am as a person and how others see me as a person. The brochure really shows how hard I worked on that assignment. It was challenging because my group chose a hard brochure layout, but made it work. With tons of revisions to the brochure, it turned out just as I 
expected. The logo and business card were created for a catering business. I have always had a dream of starting my own catering business. The logo I chose to create is fun and eye catching. You know instantly by looking at the logo that it represents a catering business. The work that I have created is successfully posted to the portfolio page of the website I have created, which was another accomplishment in its own. Creating the website was not as hard as I thought it would be. It sounds more scary than it actually is. I have never used Dreamweaver before or any other website software, so completing the website in two classes was accomplishing. The coding was a bit intimidating but my teacher was just oh so helpful that she made it easy to complete! I had all of my files as pdf’s as well as jpeg’s along with all the images and original files in the correct folders, so the website seemed like a breeze in a way. I am happy with the way the website turned out. Being organized pays off! I did have some troubled with trying to figure out what to remove to the coding to remove something because I felt that if I removed something that needed to stay, I wouldn’t know how to fix it. It was only a bit stressful, but I made it through alive. I am very happy with the work that I have completed this semester. It was also an extremely fun class and Maria Pabico is the best teacher ever!

Five Crafty Logos

5 Logos: 

This Starbucks logo is a picture of the coffee queen in the center and Starbucks Coffee around the edges of the logo. The colors used green and black work well because they are earth tone colors.

This Target logo is perfect. The name of the store is Target and it’s a picture of a target with the color red which is the color used for the store name.

This apple logo is internationally recognized. It is significant in representing its products because it is such a simple icon of an apple but it just works because the brand is Apple. If you see this apple icon you automatically know it's an Apple product.


This check mark logo represents the Nike brand very well. I always saw this logo as a check off of a to-do-list. The slogan for the Nike brand “just do it” goes hand in hand with this logo

This logo representing the Olympics is very well done as well. The five  different colored circles represent the five different areas of the world that participate in the Olympic games (North and South America are considered one area, along with Africa, Australia, Asia and Europe) They are shown linked together to create a sense of unison. 

My Logo:

My logo is going to represent my future catering business. It has always been a dream of mine to start my own catering business so this logo will represent a classic,creative, fine cuisine business.The logo is going to be creative and stand out to catch attention and interest. Everyone is going to want to book me for their next event.
