Brushes Sample Style Sheet


I have done a few of the Sheets for the Photo books.

For the Stars style sheet, I created a New Brush in Illustrator with a series of stars. I worked with shapes and gradient to give the sheet a glow. In Photoshop, I cut out the center white so the photo could be placed in the middle.

In Framed, I also created it in Illustrator. I drew out a frame holder, drew out a rectangle and framed that with a special brush.

Eiffel Tower was done in Photoshop and Illustrator - just a very simple layout that one could place their photos in. I used the sample of the Eiffel Tower, but any photo could be placed there as well as the two other photo holders.

Brushes was done in Photoshop with a series of special brushes and colors with several layers.

Final Project Proposal

Project Title: Keeping Your Memories, Photobook layout designs

Project Summary: The project will have two separate books, one with about 5 different sheets for the Photobook. I will use some of the design that were created during the course as well as some new designs to highlight portfolio work. The second book will be for client books that can be used for create your own photobooks sheets as one does on popular photo sites such as Snapfish and York. I’ll be creating a logo for my portfolio book design; but using photo layouts for the cover of the other book.

Software Applications: I will be using Photoshop and Illustrator to create the pages and designs. I will be doing layout through InDesign.

Project Goal: The goal for my project is to design a format to highlight the design work and photography work I do. The target audience for my portfolio book will be for a future employer or freelance project I pursue. The target audience for the second book is geared more toward friends and family who may wish to have photobooks created by images that I shoot for them.

Presentation: There will be still images put together as an ebook, ready for print, and burnable on to a CD.

In addition, please clarify the total amount of design pieces your final project will consist of.

There will be two books created, one book with about 8 pages; the second book with about 20 pages.
