Advertisement

Time management is the key to any project or assignment. I think it is important to keep in my mind the due date of the given task because you do not want to put it off to the last minute. In the advertisement assignment, I feel the time managemet is a little more difficult. The project would be easier for me to manage if I had the photoshop on my computer at home. I think it would have been easier to manage if we could have chosen the program to use. Overall, I have enjoyed getting to know how to use Adobe Photoshop because it is very different. It is a mixture between the paint program, photo studio, and microsoft word. I really enjoyed using the different elements photoshop offered like the different textures you could use on the photo. The advertiisement I created was for a fragance called Pure Beauty. I feel that with the help of photoshop it is progressing well. I used a flower for the background but used a different texture to make it look more of oil pastels, but also used some constrasting to make the picture stand out more. As Faigly said in the reading, it is important to have constrast and consistency in the advertisement. This kinda goes along with time management because if you wait til the last minute to finish up the ad, you will have no time to go back and make sure that everything is consistent in the ad; especially the font, font size, and color.


It has been a relief that we have had time to work on the project in class because it is hard to find time to go to campus and work on the ad at either the tech building or library.

Lesley, I hope the ad assignment did not really make you feel too stressed out. I neglected the fact that most people may not have Photoshop on their computers. I also thought students would go to an ITS lab to work on their projects. But this is something I will consider for my future classes.

thanks for the suggestions
