The task was to create an art piece based around the title 'Light & Dark'. This was done using Photoshop. I came up with the title 'Design is Beautiful' and made it into a sticker. Using the stroke option I gave the 2 texts a white stroke. Using the polygon lasso tool I selected the part I wanted to fold and right click>layer via cut. Rotated the selection 180* and placed it inline with the cut I had made. I used Blending options>Satin to give a shadow and highlight. Using the brush tool on a separate layer beneath the fold I brushed (on low opacity) to give an inner shadow. 

The bottom flower image was obtained from Google search and using Overlay and colour adjustment I created a contrasting 'light' to the otherwise dark top.

The task was to create a book dust cover using photoshop. The theme I went with was a personal one of a book I am still in the process of writing called 'Haven't Saved'. The book is about life and experiences in life, about reflecting on what we have done and what the future holds. I decided to reflect the theme of the book using images I have taken throughout the years.

These images are noticeable on either side of the cover. I cut out the building and statues of St Peter's Cathedral found in Vatican City, using quick select tool and refine edge, and placed the building with the statues on top of a sky blue colour. In the text reading 'SAVED' each letter has a separate clipping mask of the images I took. All the images were adjusted to be brighter as if they are illuminating light. The text 'Haven't' and authors name were types in a typewriter font to go with the theme of writing personally. The middle part has a bevel for aesthetic appeal. The back cover has the text with an outer glow and the cropped image also has an outer glow and using adjustment levels I made it black and white.

The task was to create a logo for the word 'Loop' with the use of motion. After multiple sketches I came up with this idea of having the word loop joined and with triple the letters, equidistance to each other giving the sense of movement and consistency. I joined the multiple L's with the P's to make is look like its an ongoing loop. This was all done using Illustrator. Bellow is the loop logo in a continues layout.

The task was to crate a texture based on the text. I decided to go for a Marble effect. The Marble effect was done by using Photoshop. On the Filter option I chose to render clouds and did this another 2 times. I duplicated the rendered layer and on the new layer I used Levels to adjusted the colour to be a brighter white which left behind these marble like lines. I used Overlay on the layers and also adjusted the hue and saturation for a more realistic polished look.

I chose to put it on a 3-D text to make it seam as if it was a cut of marble and even gave it a background shadow to further enhance the 3-D effect. To make it more pleasing I put it over a pale pink, peach even, coloured background.

This is a Stress Management flyer created using Photoshop & Illustrator.

I used calming colours mainly shades of blue as blue is known to be a soothing and relaxing colour.

Using Photoshop I cut out the shape of two different images and resized and placed them to look as if a man is comforting a stressed woman. I used Hierarchy to make a patter for the eye to follow making this flyer as simple and stress free to read. First you have an instruction... Breathe (relax and calm down) the eye then moves to the top and begins to read downwards. Eventually repeating the need to breathe and relax. I added icons as they are simple to understand and hep identify the context of the text faster.

In illustrator I used the shape creator tool to delete (alt click) the B, R and part of E to leave the negative for a more aesthetic appeal.

This is the Face Path tool exercise in which I chose to depict Jimi Hendrix.

This was done using Photoshop & Illustrator.

The task was to create a small advert for Sunny Coast Resort a 4 start resort with a special weekend break (red must be used). I used illustrator for the whole project. The idea was to intrigue the viewer with the concept of a relaxing vacation at Sunny Coast. The logo has a smile like curve to attract viewers and the vacation feel is noticeable in the Sun image and background theme. I tried to create waves as if there is the seashore but in a simple and illustrated way. This was done by copying the curve line where the sea meets the sand and pasting and altering it slightly with the use of different shades. The Weekend Break text was done using text on a path tool. Above is the final result in Monochrome, Achromatic and in Colour.

My Logo created using illustrator. I used a simple R letter which i expanded and deleted anchor points, resulting in a clean, geometric left, bottom side and organic smooth top, right side.

I used letter spacing for my name and surname. For the Monochrome Logo i used the gradient tool on the logo.

Above you can see the finished Logo in Monochrome, Achromatic and with Complementary colours.
