Final Draft For Project 1

September 22, 2017 / jschuler90 / Leave a comment

Finally, we have made it here to the final draft of my unit 1 project. With the first draft I used the feedback I got to really make the text in my project stand out. I remember in the tutorials using the box tool to make a label like square to make the text stand out. So I decided to add the red boxes as labels, because red stands out and I like the simple colors mixture of red and white. I left the background pictures the same. In my mind the really let the viewer know real quick that this is a sports themed picture and with the soundboard I believe it gives the first impression of some kind of broadcasting show. Right now I’m starting out as a co-host to Sports Take which is on KUGR radio the day and time presented. I’m just starting out, but I feel that this is going to become a new passion/hobby of mine. I wanted to use this project to very well start my Adobe based skills using the various programs like Photoshop. Photoshop has many different tools that were showcased in the tutorials at the begging of the unit. I had a fun and hard time figuring them out. I felt that what I made here was the best I can do right now with my skill set. I used the clipping masks, to make the top and bottom picture separate, I made paths of the images of the running back and football which I did bring over to place on my image using the layers. I feel with more practice and the collection of more material to use and play with. I can increase my skill set in this program. I would like to say that this was pretty frustrating for me to do. Even though my design may seem simple I really figuring out how to make things work together for me was challenging. Though regardless of the outcome I am still proud of what I did.

Unit One Project Draft

For this project I decided to steer more towards my journey as a radio host on KUGR. I found that getting around copyrighted material is kind of tedious and annoying. So I took my talents to the radio booth to talk about sports instead. I have a show on KUGR with my co hosts Rick Hester and a guy that goes by Sam or more like what we call him negative Sam. Always taking the negative views on topics we discuss. So I decided to try and make am ad for our show. This is a draft and therefor is just a general idea of what I’m working for. Ill get more photos of the whole crew to place in my final draft to make it a little better. I did this all on Photoshop. I used the cutout tool to isolate some of the images and place them on a different background. I then took a picture I found online that was free use and took into illustrator to modify it a little before I placed it on my add. I did the same for all the other images and placed the day and time we are on the radio with the type tool. I’m completely new to Photoshop and have really no idea what I’m doing. So I did get frustrated with cutting out the images and placing them on the grass back ground. I even went back to the tutorials and went step by step to figure out how to do things again. I guess its true about what they say about if you don’t use it you lose it.

All in all, I feel a little better now that I completed this assignment. I look forward to the critique on how to get better. That’s why I took the class was to get more familiar around these programs and develop the skills to use them effectively. Like what the coach from the movie Goon said,” You gotta suck to get better.”

thanks,

Jeremy Schuler

Since I recently got a show going over at KUGR on Tuesdays 6-8 Pm I might as well try and make a logo for that show and this class seems like a good opportunity to make one. So I Plan on gathering more pictures surrounding the show to make a flyer or something of that nature.
