Final Project

Brochure





Business Card





Letter Head


"Squash it Sporting Goods Ltd." is a company which serves the sole purpose of distributing squash goods and equipment to customers in Trinidad and Tobago. I decided to form this company because i have been in the "Squash community" for years having played for and captaining the Junior National Squash Team.

For my project I decided to go with red, white and black as my color scheme as these are the colors of my national flag. I actually decided to use the eye drop tool  to extract the red from a picture of the national flag to get the precise color. 

Executing this project was surely a lot of fun and it was a great way to combine all the skills that we have learned throughout the course. I thoroughly enjoyed the project as it allowed me to be more creative and form the basis of a potential company.

We want this company to grow locally as the number one sporting goods store for squash equipment in Trinidad and Tobago.

2)   If your company was an animal, what animal would it be and why?
A lion cub because we need time to grow, but when we grow we will rule the industry.

3)   If your company/brand was a person, who would it be and why?
Lionel Messi because he loves what he does and is the best in the world.

4)   If your company/brand was an object, what would it be?
A new Rolex watch.

5)   If your customer was a cartoon character, who would it be?
Peter, from family guy because he does what he likes to do and doesn’t care what people think.

When this project was assigned I immediately thought of creating a piece which represented where I am from and the type of life I live. A beach scene was the first idea that came to mind, and I thought what better way to depict my life than being on the beach, with some drinks and a football.

For this project I used many various tools in photoshop such as the eraser tool, lasso tool, burn tool and type tool. The hardest part of this piece was removing the objects from their background. Usually I would use the magic eraser tool, but not one image had a completely white background, which made this tool . However, I managed to push through it and was able to create an image which I believe depicts my lifestyle.

Brush assignment



For this photoshop assignment i decided to create a casual dining room setting. I started by laying down the background, which comprised of a wooden floor followed by a grainy white background to represent a painted wall. The table came next, follower by a shadow to give the image some real life effects. I then created a pick-nick themed pattern and laid it over the table to represent the dining room table, table cloth.

The wooden shelves to the rare of the image were my brush presets which I made from an image off the internet. I then added some miscellaneous  items to give the dining room image a more home like effect.
