Final Project


These are my final business card, letter head and brochure for my company Wine N' Shine. I think these all are a good presentation of my company and the customers I want to attract to my company. The hardest part for me was making all of them flow and finding a theme that could show in all three. the easiest to do was the business card since it was the first one I did and smallest I only had to make everything bigger for the other two. The hardest was probably the brochure because I had to add more details to it and make sure everything was aligned throughout the whole brochure. I worked really hard making sure that everything was aligned and even throughout all of the pieces. This project also allowed me to learn more about InDesign and understand all the tools a little bit better.

Final Project Sketches




The are the sketches I prepared for my final project. I kept the same company that I designed my logo for one of the previous projects. For my business card, brochure, and letter head I wanted to design something classy and simple so the customers would know what kind of company it was. The ones that are starred off are my favorite ones that I am going to try to recreate in InDesign.

Questionaire



1)   What is your business?
My business is a wine glass decorating company. We specialize in glitter glasses and personalizing wine glasses, to add a little shine to your drink.
2)   Describe your business in one sentence
We make decorative and personalized wine glass, that can be a perfect gift.
3)   Who is your target audience?
My target audience is anyone that drinks wine. Since our glasses are personalized we can a make anything to fit the customer.
4)   Who are your competitors?
I do not know of a company that makes glasses like this, however products like this are often sold on Etsy.com
5)   What makes them better/worse than your product/service?
My business is better than those who sell products on Etsy.com because usually the people that sell products on that website have limits as to what they can make or design, and my company does not allowing the customer to have full control of the product they are receiving.

1)   How do you want your image to be seen in two years?
In two years I want my company to be seen a more high end company that has clients that are more wealthy like adults. I want my glasses to seen as classy and not too flashy.
2)   If your company was an animal, what animal would it be and why?
If my company was an animal it would be a house cat. This is because they are calm animals and don't make themselves too seen to others. I want this in my company not because I don't want people to notice the products but because I don't want the products to be too gaudy and out there, rather I want the to be classy and tasteful.
3)   If your company/brand was a person, who would it be and why?
If my company was a person it would be Jennifer Anniston. This is because she is famous but always stays classy and never gets too wrapped up in celebrity drama. She is also a famous actress who has played all different types of roles showing how she is relatable to everyone. I want my company to ver versatile so that everyone can find the need to use my business over anyone else's.
4)   If your company/brand was an object, what would it be?
If my brand was an object it would be a wine glass. This is because the company is a decorative wine glass company and I think is is important that the customers know the product that they are getting when seeing or hearing the name of the company. 
5)   If your customer was a cartoon character, who would it be?
sI my company was a cartoon character it would be Angelica Pickles from the Rugrats. This is because she was known for always getting what she wanted and my company gives the customers what ever they want.

Miranda Lambert

This is a project I decided to do just for fun. Its kinda like the lyric collage project with less pictures incorporated. This allowed me to work with photoshop a little bit more and to get used to all the tools and different options

Lyrics Project


For this project I chose to do a line from one of my favorite songs, Fingerprints by Katy Perry. The song is about proving people wrong and standing up for what you believe in. The background of the picture is a fingerprint after the song title, showing how not only is it important to stand up for what you believe in but it is important to leave your mark on the world and make a difference. I used the girl boxer since the song talks about fighting for what you think is right, and also to prove how men aren't the only ones who are boxers. The runners in the picture are used to show someone not giving up. I put the fist in the picture since one of the lines says "fist in the air" it also incorporates with the broken glass above it show how people are "breaking the glass ceiling" everyday and how people should continue to strive to be different and unique. This project was difficult to organize since we had to incorporate so much in it, however it allowed me to learn more about photoshop and how to use different features. If I change one thing about my project it would be to have the picture blend together more, but I still feel like I did a great job and put a lot of effort into the project

Night Sky

For this project on Photoshop we had to use brushes that we created ourselves. I thought to do a night sky because there are a lot you can do with it and was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about the project. For the project I created a brush to create the moon, the stars, and the windows in the buildings. I enjoyed to this project because it taught me how to use more tools on photo hop and get a little more comfortable with photoshop in general.

Jay Adams

For this project we had to create an internet badge for Jay Adams. At firs this project was a little difficult trying to figure out a way to incorporate everything without making it look too busy, but I think it came out pretty well. I liked doing this project because it has helped me learn more about Photoshop
