In this project we were asked to create three different flyers. For the first flyer we were asked to make a flyer for a dog sitting company using a template, and change the theme. The second project we had to make a flyer in landscape format for either and item or an event, I chose to make it for a ski race. The flyer we had to redesign one of the previous flyers in back and white, I chose the ski race one. The input factors were learning how to use publisher. We learned how to use a template and change the theme. We also learned the elements and principals of art to make the article stand out best, along with how to use tools on publisher such as shapes, and lines. We also learned how to insert pictures and edit them, along with finding pictures with the right pixels. The research I did for this project was searching for pictures depending on what the topic of the flyer was. To research pictures we had to specify how many pixels were used on Google images. For the first flyer I started with a lesson about how to use and customize a template. Next we filled in the information about our company into the designated spots. Finally I inserted a picture of a dog into the box. For the second flyer we started with a lesson on how to turn the format of the paper to landscape. Next I inserted word art ,text and pictures. The third project I started by turning the paper landscape, next I inserted lines, word art, text, and pictures, in black. For all the flyers I included contact information. I got feedback from my peers on how to do certain functions on publisher to make my flyers look better. By doing this project I learned how to use publisher, and several tools on publisher, I also learned how to search for pictures with a certain number of pixels. If I did this project again I would use brighter colors to make the flyers more attractive.
For this project we were asked to make two different brochures. For the first brochure we had to make up a business I chose a bakery, and advertise for it we also had to include a picture of our selves and an about yourself section. For the second brochure we visited Thayer street and took pictures of our given topic, woman's fashion, then made a brochure using the pictures to advertise woman's clothing. The research I had to do for the first project was getting pictures and looking up examples of a menu and prices. For the Thayer street brochure I had to research the phone numbers and addresses of each business.
For both brochure I started with a blank document but also opened up a template to follow along with first I filled in the information in the same places it was on the template then added back grounds and pictures. For my first brochure I put a large picture of a cupcake on the front and used the same colors of the cupcake thought the rest of the brochure. There is a picture of me in the middle with a small paragraph describing who I am, and several paragraphs and pictures of what I sell, with contact information on the back. For my Thayer street brochure I used a brick background with blue and with text. I made separate boxes describing each store and pictures that I took to represent them. I also included the contact information for each store on the back of it. I received feedback on what color text to use up against a brick background and decided to make blue boxes so the text stands out more. during this assignment I learned how to make a brochure and use a brochure template, along with making a border. if I had to do something differently I would have taken more pictures.
