Month: November 2015

A little while ago, my class did a unit on advertising. We were assigned a project where we had to make three advertisements. One of them was a business ad which we made an ad for a business. The second one was our advocacy ad which was an ad to help out the environment. The third was a natural landscape ad where we had to make an ad which would convince people to visit a scenery. By using multiple apps to ad text, edit our pictures, and make the layout of our ads we were able to complete all three of our advertisements.

Editing
When editing the pictures I changed the brightness, cropped the pictures, added filters, and I enhanced the pictures to brighten them and adjust the contact levels. When editing the poster, I changed the font of the text, the size of the text, and I tested different layouts to see which one would fit the image I had of my ad in my head. The apps I used to make and edit my ads and pictures include Snapseed by Google, Canva by Canva, Repix by Sumoing Ltd, Polarr Photo Editor by Polarr Inc, and Phoster by Bucket Labs, Comic Life 3 by Plasq LLC, and Photo Editor- by Axiem Systems.

Critique
While doing our ads we would improve it ourselves, but we would also get a lot of helpful and kind critique from our peers. I liked having the opportunity to get critique from others because I could get to know the style of ads they liked and I liked knowing their opinions on my choice of colour, font, text, and layout.

Changes
If I were to do anything differently next time it would be to get much more critique from my peers. I feel that with just some more critique from different people could help a lot with my ads and not only would I be satisfied with my advertisements, but others could definitely like them too.
