Blog Post #7

So for this blog post, I decided to have some fun. I thought about what meme I could do that would be easily relatable to any and everyone who saw it. So I decided to create one about a classroom setting. So I went on Google and found a picture of kids in a classroom along with a teacher. 

Next, I decided to use the ever so famous, crying Jordan meme, so I looked that up and opened both pictures up in photoshop. 

Next, I converted both pictures into smart objects. Next, I used the lasso tool in photoshop to get rid go the red background and the suit from the picture of Michael Jordan. After that I duplicated the layer onto the page with the picture of the classroom. I then used command-T to shrink the photo enough to fit on the kid's bodies. I did this over and over until every kid had the crying Jordan meme for a face. Lastly, I used a text box and used a font I thought fit well for a meme which was "impact." I then moved the caption around until I found a good spot and font size for it. 

After all of that, this was the finished product.

When creating anything that attempts to draw people in, the color scheme matters tremendously, so for this blog post, I decided to use the colorful throwback logo of the San Antonio Spurs. While I do not like the team to which the logo belongs, I love the colorway and thought it was more than colorful enough to be used for this assignment. 

So first i began by tapping the rectangle tool, then while holding down the shift key, I dragged the square out until it was around the size of my desire. Then I played around with the swatch colors until I found ones that match the likeness of the teal, pink, and orange, used in the Spurs logo. 

Lastly, I drew out two text boxes and wrote my name in one and the school I attend with the major  am studying in the other. While I know I have much room to improve with the text box part, I am happy I got as far as I did with it because I am still learning how to use them more effectively.

From a first glance at this brochure, you can tell China City decided to make their name a very big and unique font and they decided to use a wide range of different fonts. They used the same three colors throughout (red, green, and white). They used a lot of contrast in the photo of the building and for the car. The text is also centered and no part of the photos or text is close to the edge.
