I decided to make a promotional poster for my graphic design project since my topic is about being an entertainment publicist I decided to make a poster promoting my business. To get some ideas for my project I searched online, and all the posters I saw had something that stuck out on it. My draft of my poster was kind of bland and didn’t really have anything that stood out, I had some recognizable celebrities on my poster but besides that nothing else really stood out on the poster. When creating my draft I really tried to think about things that would make my poster unique and unified but after finishing my draft and turning it in I realized I didn’t have much of either. I used the pen tool to cut out the celebrities I used and then used the text tool. Lebron James is my favorite basketball player and Chris Brown is my favorite singer and I think Cam Newton is a good quarterback so it was only right to use them on my poster I decided to put only G.O.A.T.S on my poster kind of to make it a little fun some people do not know what this stands for but this stands for greatest of all time and the s is just for plural. TJT stands for my first name Tierra one of my middle names Janae and my last name Trail. When I was creating this poster I forgot how to use a lot of the tools taught in the photoshop tutorial videos so I just went back and watched the videos to help me figure out what I needed to use. Some feedback I got was to add a drop shadow on the cutouts, add effect to the text, change the background to make it less bland, and to maybe add what TJT means on it.I took the advice of adding drop shadows on the cutouts, I didn’t know how to do this at first so I went back and watched the videos. I also added a drop shadow on the text and changed the font and color since I changed the background and it was hard to read with the background I chose to change it to. I also decided to swap how the words were and decided to put the title of my business at the top so it wouldn’t get out shined by the cutouts down at the bottom.

My topic is becoming an entertainment publicist. For this project I decided to make a promotional poster to try to promote the business I wish to create one day. I wasn’t sure at first how to create a promotional poster so I decided to look online for some ideas to help me get a start on mine that’s when I got the idea to get a picture of Chris Brown that I could use and get some pictures of myself it was a little hard because I wasn’t sure at first what I wanted my business to be called then I just thought of keeping it simple with T J T publicist company the first T stands for Tierra, the J stands for Janae my middle name, and the last T stands for Trail. I noticed when looking at other promotional posters they always say we they are about at the time and in attention grabbing language so that helped me to know that my poster need to have color in it and be vibrant because if it was boring looking no one would pay attention to it. When I was creating this I was trying to think about unity because I felt if it didn’t have unity then it wouldn’t attract people’s attention and that’s the whole point of a promotional poster. I collected the pictures from google by typing the names of the celebrities and making sure it was under labeled for reuse deciding who I was going to use wasn’t hard because I think Cam Newton and Lebron James are amazing athletes and I think Chris Brown is an amazing artist. I use the pen tool to cut out the celebrities I used I had a hard time at first because I forgot how to actually make it cut and copy so I went back to the photoshop videos and remember how to use it.
