process
For this design we are to use InDesign to design a fier. Use
design rules and principles I used are the rule of thirds, grouping,
alignment, value, white space, repetition & rhythm, focal point
and fow.
I used different shapes that were like building on each other like
the leadership fier was talking about what they would teach at
the conference, how to build on upon yourself. While also using
the odds principles, fow, white& negative space, value with the
gray scale and rule of thirds.

objectives
Learn how to use other programs incase you ever have too due
to time constraints, money shortages or it is the only thing you
have to design with.
process
Scan a high quality image. Then proceded to use Microsoft
Word to design a ad. Pick a color scheme that complements the
image and pick two type fonts that complent each other. Finally
apply the nessisary text; title, discription, cost, time and location.
To give the image and text seperate but harmonious place to
live I used boxes with gradiants to give depth and fow into the
image. And added opacities so the boxes werent too harsh on
the image.

process
So for this project I went out by my apt on a cloudy day too
some photos. This was perfect because the best time to take a
picture is either ealy moring, right befoere dark or on a cloudy
day.
After getting the image you want proceeded to edit them
in photosho. Using flters like brighting or contrasting. Then
designed a fier that used colors in the photo and create a color
scheme. Then repeat color scheme in said fier. To reitorate the
importance and connection of colors.

Learn to make several images into one with photoshop.
process
For this project I explored the internet on different ways people
combied images and how they made them look as one. The
n looked for hight quality photos (google, free photography
websites and Pinterest).
Once images where found i edited them in photoshop and
started combining to make one! After about the fourth try I found
a combination of photos I liked.
From there I worked on shaping, saturation, colorizing, vibrancy,
opacity and masking, till I fnally get a desired look. Then to make
the image have more meanigful I found a quote that could add
to the depth I wanted to give it. Gving it a complete feeling.

So for me I had to put together a fake company. I didnt have
anyone I could make on for so I tried to come up with a base
business; cafe. Then I had to think of a name and I saw a picture
on pintrist of fowers; peony blooms.
Then I came up with the what we sold. From there I started
making logos in illustrator. Through this whole process I keep
going back in forth to pintrest and looked a logos that i like and
peeked my interest and asked why they are good. Was it the
style, text, shapes used, color combination, etc. Once I asnwered
the why I was able to build three unique logos.

Sleep
Finally one of the last things that contribute to a healthy
life is sleep. Sleep is essential for a persons health and
wellbeing. Your immune system relies on sleep to stay

the way in which your immune system responds.
Recipe
Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits
Fruit parfaits are one of the
easiest healthy desserts that are
easy to make so you can try
and mix with whatever fruits you
enjoy! The ingredients list is short
and the prep super easy simple!
You can alter the recipe to your
own taste.
16 oz of Greek Yogurt (plain or
favored)
1 cups Blackberries
1 cups Bananas

the bottom of each glass.
Layer the yogurt over the fruit.

cups of fruits over the yogurt.

Goals
Start with a goal, make
it small that can be
accomplished in two
weeks. Small goals are
vital so that you dont
feel like you can never
accomplish them. You
need to learn to crawl before
you run.
Work-out
We are recommended
to workout for at least 30
minutes two to three times
a week. Exercise increases
muscle tone, leaving you
looking more defned, and the
extra muscle mass will also help to
increase your resting metabolism. It
can improve self-esteem and self-
confdence. Working-out will give
you extra energy, stamina, and
endorphins will spill over into other
areas of your life.
Eat Well
While working out is import and
vital the most import is eat healthy!
You can work out hours on end
and make no head way if you eat
horrible food! Eating in this manner
