Even ADescription: A full color event ad advertising a made up event

Course and Section: Visual Media,Section 3
Instructor: Ben Pingel
Objectives: Learning how to use color schemes and MicrosoftWord to create an Event Ad of some sort.
Process: I scanned in an image of a skiier. Then,I used abackground eliminator tool to erase the background of the image.Then, I created all of my shapes. After deciding on a colorscheme, I used the eye dropper tool to take the exact colors
from my image and use them in my boxes on the rest of thead. I then picked a grungy font for the title to go with the feelof the skiing/boarding vibe. I picked a simple serif font for theinformation text. I grouped similar information together and thenequally spaced. I then made sure to align everything.
