Project 2 Event Ad

Description:
A full-color bleed event advertisement made from a scanned image and Microsoft Word.

Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles):
I first formulated a plan for my event ad by sketches and focusing on the message that I was trying to get across and the audience I was trying to reach out to. I then looked for an image that I felt I could use to perceive fashion and style. I scanned that image onto the computer. I proceeded to only use Microsoft word to make an event ad for Red Cross and Rue 21. I used the visual focus color wheel to pull my colors from to make a pattern that would be appealing. I used two different fonts to really catch my audience’s eye.

Message:
There is going to be a clothing auction to raise money for the Family Crisis Center.I wanted my audience to see fashion and get a calm cool feeling. I am hoping that the audience feels like it will not be a stressful event but will be a way for them to participate in charity.
