Project 5 Respect For All Brochure Reflection Journal

In this lab, we used the Adobe Programs of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign to make a brochure. First off, I opened up Adobe InDesign to start my project. I clicked on New to create a new document. I managed the settings to be in inches of measurement, 2 pages, and 3 columns. I named my project "Project 5 Respect For All Brochure" and clicked OK to create the document. Secondly, I clicked the Type tool from the toolbox. I clicked and dragged from the top left hand corner diagonally downwards to the bottom right hand corner of each column of the brochure. I clicked within the text box of the first column and typed in my title and name. I clicked in the second text box and inserted some sentences and questions about the subject of peace and violence. With the third text box, I placed text encouraging people to unite under peace. I clicked within the fourth text box and typed in the possibilities of what peace can initiate on the viewer or others. For the fifth text box, I transcribed examples of peace for my brochure. For the first part of the brochure, I clicked the Rectangular Tool. I filled the entire column by clicking from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the column. I clicked the color panel and selected light blue for the rectangle. I right clicked on the light blue rectangle and clicked Arrange. From Arrange, I clicked on send to the back to send the light blue rectangle to the background behind the text box. I saved the InDesign document by clicking File from the InDesign bar. Now from File, I clicked on Save to save the InDesign Document. I next clicked Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 to open the program. I clicked on New to make a new document with default settings and clicked on Place Embedded. I clicked on the image of earth with people of varying degrees cultures/nationalities holding hands. I clicked OK to place the image onto the Photoshop document. I held shift, clicked, held the mouse button, dragged the image diagonally downwards with the mouse button, and pressed enter. The image was now officially placed. I clicked on the Magic Wand tool. I clicked within the ring of people to make a selection. I clicked on the Paint Bucket tool, color picker, and chose blue which I clicked on the selection that turned the selection to blue. I repeated the same steps again with the outside of the ring of people. I saved the document as a Photoshop document and a PNG image. I went back to Adobe InDesign to place the newly edited image of the earth with a ring of people in the first column by clicking File from the Photoshop bar and clicking Place from the File tab. For the second column of the brochure, I placed an image of fire in one half of the column. I arranged it to be in the back to be the background. For the second half of the second column, I first went into Photoshop and created a new document again. I clicked on File from the Photoshop bar and clicked Place Embedded to place an image of question marks. A window appeared for me to select the image and once I clicked on the image, I pressed OK to place the question mark image into Photoshop. I clicked on the magic wand to select it. I clicked and dragged within the question marks to make a selection overlaying them. I right clicked on the question marks and clicked Layer via Copy to create separate layers for each question mark. I arranged them using the Move tool placing the question marks in various locations on the Photoshop document. I clicked on the Gradient tool to select it. I clicked on the color picker to have purple and red as the foreground and background colors. I clicked and dragged the mouse from one side of the document to the next to have a shade of purple to red for the background of the question marks. I merged the layers into one single layer and saved the document as a PNG. I placed the PNG image onto the second column just like the first half. For the third column, the color of the background is a gradient of yellow which was edited in Photoshop that I used the Gradient tool for. I placed an image of a peace sign on the third column too. Next, I opened Photoshop and created a new document again. I clicked on the brush tool, chose the color blue from the color picker, clicked and dragged the mouse across the document in an irregular pattern, clicked on the magic wand tool, selected the blue area, selected inverse, chose orange from the color picker, painted in the same irregular pattern as the blue, and repeated the steps until the whole document was filed with wavy lines of blue and orange. I saved the file as a PNG and placed it in the Indesign document in the back of column 4. I clicked on the color picker from the InDesign toolbox and selected green as the color. I clicked on the Rectangular tool from the InDesign toolbox to select it. I clicked, held the mouse button, and dragged the mouse from the top left corner of the fifth column to the bottom right hand corner of the fifth column to create a green rectangle. I right clicked on the green rectangle. I clicked Arrange and Send to the Back to have the green rectangle as the background for the fifth column.  For the last column, I placed a beige background. I linked websites that talked about peace or related the the discussions from my brochure. I saved the InDesign document. Finally I saved the brochure as a Adobe InDesign PDF. Knowing how to create a brochure is essential for web developers and designers as it leads into opportunities to expand your mental knowledge, experience, and economic growth.
