Recycling Signs




Our recycling signs were really easy to compose once we started going, but finding an idea was harder. But once we got the idea and went with it everything came together. We just brought in a lot of colored paper and news paper and magazines for the paper sign. And then we crumpled it all up and placed it on a piece of cardboard and made sure that no cardboard was showing through. Then we just took a picture of it from above. Figuring out the color of the font and recycling sign was really the only challenge. But we decided on white and then in the end flipped the picture so that the writing was on sides of the image that you could see better. For the bottles and cans we brought in some items and then found cans and bottles in recycling bins. It was a little more challenging because we tried a lot of different positions of stacking them and positions of how to take the picture, also find a good writing color was harder because in some spots the white didn't show up very well. But in the end once we uploaded the pictures and did some slight photo shop it came out very well and was fairly easy.

Bad AD reconstruction


I thought my bad ad was very cluttered and the colors were very harsh. So I wanted my ad to be calm and that colors to be easy on the readers eyes. That's why I made some white space around the ad, and used lighter colors. I also made half the text aligned to the right and half aligned to the left. At first I had the title aligned to the left as well, but I decided that it didn't stick out enough so I aligned it center, along with the for more information, and changed the font. Then i only had the dog picture and all the text, which I thought was too boring so i added the paw prints, and then the boarder to make things a little more exciting. I kpet the dog picture where it was because when the reader looks at it, it's eyes are looking up at the text and it makes the reader look up and read the text.
