Event Ad Description: An event ad for a benefit to help end world hunger. Date: February 1, 2015


Programs(s)/Tools: Microsoft Word was used for this design. This taught me that although it cant do complex things, it is okay to have a simple design.

Objectives: Learn the importance of white space and alignment. Incorporate advertisement skills.

Process: Because there were a couple important aspects to my message, I wasnt sure what I wanted the main focus to be and how I wanted the flow to look. After some time, I was able to make different important focal points. I learned the importance of contrast whether it was different typefaces, different sizes, or contrast between colors.

Date: February 6, 2014 Course/Instructor: Comm 130 Section 06 Joel Judkins

Programs(s)/Tools: Photoshop was used for this project. I also re-familiarized myself with the camera for the shot used in the design.

Objectives: Learn the different color schemes and how to implement them with a photo. Discover various camera technics in order to take quality pictures.

Process: I used Photoshop to edit the picture. I used layers so that I would not ruin the picture I had taken. I then used the colors within the photo to create a color scheme. I had to remember how to make different shapes and place items into a document. I also had to play with fonts to make sure it was readable by validating the presence of serifs.
