Hey, it’s me!
I thought the advertising project was a fun and interesting project. Our first major project had to be well thought out and considerate. I learned a lot about advertisements and how to set them up to make them look good. I was in a group with Fraser, Gabby and Kiera. My first ad was absolutely atrocious, but I think they got way better as the project progressed.
I think interviewing a local business was a good way to “warm up” for the Oregon business. With my ad for the local business, I started with using Pages, but I found that sort of unwieldy and so for my second draft I used the app Canva. For the rest of my ads, I continued to use Canva.
These ads aren’t the best advertisements in the world, but they are certainly better than my first one!
In hindsight, I could have made the font a lot bigger to make it stand out more.
I think critique helped me a lot in the way that when I started, I didn’t really know what made a good ad. Now, I feel like I can make a good ad.
The Oregon business was fun to make an advertisement for. It was cool to make an ad for a business that was in another country that we had never even heard of before. For this project, we had four drafts. Here’s my first one
And here’s the rest.
The logo title wasn’t visible and the title itself wasn’t capitalizedd♂️
This one was a bit better
This was one of myfinal draft. The title was made bigger and I edited and cropped the photo a bit. I also made the “marine discovery tours” in the right corner readable
This was my final approved draft. I changed the photo because the other one was a bit iffy. I also switched apps. Instead of Canva, I used Over, which was very useful. I also changed the text colour and style. I made the logo bigger in the corner.
If I would do something differently, I would maybe try and use different apps and explore more for creating ads. On this project, I mainly stuck with Canva, so it’ll be cool to learn more about different apps. Overall, it was very cool!
See ya,
Niklas
