First let me begin by saying this was the most challenging class for me this semester because I am the most computer illiterate person in the world. But I honestly have to say it was NICE to step outside of my comfort zone and be introduced to new things and tackle them in spite of fear. Of all the projects we have had to complete, this was by far my most favorite because it has actually inspired me to follow through with this business. The project instructed us to create sketches and create our documents from those sketches. I had to redo a few images because the image I had originally used in my sketch came from a random place off the internet. To avoid copyright issues, I purchased images from stock images. Although the site offered free iamges, the images I used were of better quality and appeared more professional and therefore, were worth purchasing. I changed the original writing style of my documents from minion pro to monotype corsiva on the brochure/letterhead/business card just to give it a more elegant look. I tried to keep it as simple yet as professional as possible. I didn't want to add any color to the designs because my theme colors are red, black and white with a pearl accent in the design. In my opinion, this would show up better on white paper. Below is the end result of my work and one I am VERY proud of.
Here are the images I used to create the above designs:
