Photoshop Project:
The goal of this collage is to share the message of how drinking fresh juice is conveniently healthy. One of the main reasons many people struggle to eat healthy is because it is not convenient. It takes effort and time. Juice is part of that solution because a lot of nutrients can be packed into one juice and it doesn’t a whole lot of time to drink it. This collage shows that in the few minutes it takes to drink and 8 ounce glass of juice you will get the same nutrients as eating 5 apples.
Illustrator Project:
When I began to envision a logo for Green Frog Juice Bar I saw an image of a frog drinking a tasty green juice. I wanted the logo to be fun and playful while still keeping it simple. The name of Green Frog allowed me to play with different shades of green and also tied in with have a green juice. I wanted the colors to be bright and attractive.
When I first set out to make this logo I reviewed several pictures of frogs and frog related logos to decide if I wanted to try a whole frog body or just a frog face. I originally decided that a frog face drinking a green juice would be the best option.
Audition Project:
When I was creating this I was thinking of radio shows that I have listened to in the past such as NPR or other talk radio shows. One thing that stands out in my memory of these shows was they almost always started with a clip of catchy music before they jump into the topic that they wanted to discuss. I chose to follow that format with this audio story.
I song that I chose is called “These Days’ by Robin Grey and is a creative commons song that I found on freemusicarchive.org.
I chose this song because I felt like it was upbeat and catchy but at the same time captures the sound of authentic string music which is actually very popular in Colorado right now. Since the show is focused on being a local Colorado show, I felt using this song would give it more of a Colorado feel.
With the topic itself I wanted to give the impression that the topic was more than just a feature of a local business but that it also reflected a current popular trend that was newsworthy. To do this I introduced the topic by mentioning two well-known magazines that have ran articles about green juice in the last 30 days.
Premier Project:
Green Juices can be very tasty drinks that also have amazing health benefits. Anybody can make them. All that is needed are fruits, vegetables and a juicer.
I made this video to demonstrate the simple process of making a green juice. Of course the ideal option would be to grow your own fruits and vegetables but for the sake of keeping the process simple, this video starts in a grocery store produce section. It shows all of the ingredients needed for the green juice. The video then takes us to the kitchen where the juice making process is highlighted and ends with the finished project. A delicious and healthy glass of green juice.
