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.
