Project 7

Project 7 was to create a poster based on identity using either the software Photoshop or InDesign. My poster was that your nationality is also part of you which makes it your identity. the way I added nationality into the poster is by creating a collage with a head figure and inserting a variety of national flags. In addition, by creating a collage the mask tool and magic wand is the best and easiest way to do it. Furthermore, I added text inside the head that warps( curves) so that it doesn't look simple and to give it a head outline. I am proud of my project and it had many colors and flags representing identity and who you are

Project #6

Project 6 was to create a yearbook using the InDesign software and a group of at least 3 members. The yearbook could be about any type of theme, my group chose technology which gave us many options and ideas. During the process we learned how to insert images to a text. This helps us have more attractive designs and add color to our work. Also we learned what is necessary to have in a yearbook such as a table of contents, student photographs and an attractive cover for showcase. In addition, my group came up with unique content like, Memes of the year, student biography and autograph section. The project consisted in a lot of time and during the 3 weeks, we struggled completing each section of the yearbook on time but managed to turn it in

Elements of a Newspaper

There many elements in newspaper such as the anchor, banner, caption, teaser, dateline and masthead. The anchor is a creative soft story that makes it for readers to become more attracted towards the newspaper. Bold large text the go across the eight columns is called the banner which is to represent momentous events in current time. Text that is near an image is usually the caption that describes the photograph. Furthermore, teaser represents the stories and content that are going to mentioned in the newspaper and it's in a box below the masterhead. The dateline shows the name of the location where the story originated from and the day it was written. Lastly, the masthead is where the title of the newspaper was published and also provide the location of where it took place.
