Apple Orchard
Written Refelction: Apple orchard
For this project, we were tasked with designing a flyer for an apple orchard. We had to use a number of tools such as the type on a path tool, at least one effect on an image, and we had to crate the shape of our apple using the pen tool. For my apple orchard, I used the logo for Apple Computors and traced it with the pen tool. After I traced and colored the apple, I used the 3D effect to make the apple pop out of the flyer. I encountered a few problems when designing my flyer. First the gradient I used to color the apple, would not cooperate with the 3D effect. The gradient would become large and take up the whole space of the flyer. Another problem I encountered was the text for my title would disapear whever I typed something in. Eventually both problems were resolved. I am pleased with my final product, but I would have liked to make the text bigger and pop out more.
Silent Auction
Written Reflection: Silent Auction
For this project, we had to make a flyer for a silent auction at Ms. Nasiff's daughter's school. We had to make a flyer that would tell people what was being sold, where it was, and catch people's eyes. We used what we have learned so far in Photoshop such as cropping an image, and illustarter such as changing text, the backround, and adding pictures. It was achallenge to make the text stand out on my flyer. The backround was pumpkins with a lowered opacity, but it was tough to get the orange letters to show up. Eventually I put a black stroke arpund the lettering and it was more visible. I am pleased with the inal project but i wish it stood out more. The backround is dim and the lettering only stands out a little bit.
