s
Apply th

orate basi
c InDesig

Process
I first sket
ched out
rough dra
fts of the

en picked
my favor

ed
Adobe In

Objective
sLear

hoose a c

a

then inco

Process
First I pic
ked out a
Triadic co
lor schem
e from th
e color w
heel,
I chose Re
d, Yellow
and Blue
to work w
ith. Then
I practice
d
taking qu
ality phot
os with a
friends c
amera of
my son a
t the
beach(wh
ich was so
much fun
), a Nikon
D3100 d
igital cam
era.
I thought
about co
mposition
and how
photo ca
n lead yo
u
into a lay
out. I also
used shar
p focus, o
utdoor lig
hting and
an
off-cente
red comp
osition. Th
en I used
placed m
y photo i
nto
Photosho
p and us
ed edits
such as b
rightness
and con
trast,
vibrance
and satur
ation, and
also leve
ls. I then
situated m
y photo
on an 8.5
x 11 bac
kground
and brou
ght in my
quote, co
lor
scheme n
ame and
also the
names of
the actu
al colors
I used. I
used the
eye-drop
per tool t
o match f
rom my p
hoto to th
e text so
it would h
ave a coh
esive and
unified lo
ok. I had
fun playin
g the
arrow shap
es, from t
he custo
m shape
tool, and
making t
hem
modern l
ooking a
s well has
helping t
o lead yo
u around
the
composi
tion. I als
o used a
backdro
p photo w
ith the lay
er style
option to
add textu
re to the
page and
made it m
ore trans
parent,
so it wou
ldnt dist
ract from
the cont
ent. To b
e honest
I wasnt
sure wha
t I envisio
ned, but
I really en
joyed pla
ying and
learning
in Photos
hop this w
