Motivational Poster

Some of the requirements are that we need 2 text layers one will have our Manifesto and the other will have our Personal quotes. 4 pictures are needed to make this complete, three picture were my symbolic pictures and the last picture was a portrait of my face. If I have all of these pictures and requirements then I will get a 4/4 or in other words an A. This Motivational project was due Friday August 28, 2015. Some of the design requirements were that all text layers should have been kerned so that there was no white spaces. I had a triadic color scheme which consisted of a light purple as the dominant color, a neon green as one of the harmonious colors and the last color was a bright orange. Blending options was not exactly an option, I added a bevel and emboss, a stroke, and an outer glow. Although you can't see my outer glow there is one. Color balance, levels, and exposure was somethings I used on my project, Curves was another thing you could have used but I don't always like using curves. TO distribute equal distribution I made it so that all the lines were kind of on the other picture. Since I did all these requirements I got a 4/4 on my design requirements.

Starting from the beginning I went to Photoshop and pressed command and N at the same time to make a project. Once I had my project I put my personal quotes into layer 1 and started Kerning the personal quotes into a box in the right had corner. Then I added a new layer and named it manifesto, I then copied and pasted my manifesto from my last blog post and Kerned that until I had it like I wanted it. I then had my pictures of me, clouds, my bow, and my friend basil the pig put into my document. I then made visual balance between my pictures and added my manifesto and personal quotes. I then added blending options in the colors neon, orange, and purple.



My biggest challenge was probably kerning. Kerning was the biggest challenge because it took the longest. I found out that having to kern is way harder then adding options on your layers or adding your options onto your pictures. I overcame this challenge by having patience with myself and my project. I also over came this challenge with the help of peer editing like having my friends say if it should stay like this or change it. I asked Julie, Ala, and Makaio if it looked good or not and they told me it was god but I wasn't sure. If I needed help with Kerning it right I asked them too, Even when I needed some of the letters to move more up to fix it I asked my 6th grade partner Tyler Tanaka.
