Practice Advert

Today we are making a practice advert. My advert will be a rabbit sanctuary charity. I am going to create this advert on Pixlr. I will create a logo, tagline and consider my target audience.

 

I opened Pixlr. Then clicked on ' create new' and then chose 'print' in the top menu of dialog box and then chose A4 , added a 'title' and clicked on 'background' and selected white. Then I clicked  on 'okay' to make my canvas. My poster will be portrait so I clicked on 'image' and clicked 'canvas rotation' and select 'rotate left'.


Then I clicked on 'file' in the the top of menu and clicked on 'open image'. Then I opened my rabbit image which I had downloaded from 'Unsplash' as these are copyright free images and free to use. Then I wanted to add my rabbit to my canvas so I went to my rabbit image and clicked on 'select' and 'select all' from the top menu. Then I clicked 'edit' and selected 'copy'. Then I went go back my canvas and clicked 'edit' and selected 'paste'. Now my image is on my canvas. 

The next step was to create a logo on Adobe Express. So I created a name for my charity and chose the style and the colours I wanted.


One version was transparent and other with light colour.


Next I added a new 'text layer' by clicking on the 'T' in the left hand tools menu and then clicking on the 'canvas'. Then I changed the words to my tagline and then change the colour to orange. I used 'Aberus font' at '75 size'. And then I chose the 'bold text style' . Then I used the alignment to left align to words.

Please see my final advert here which I downloaded a jpg for higher quality.

 


REFLECTION

This was a good practice as it helps me to think about graphic design and topic of the advertisement and who is my target audience and how I will reach them. I really enjoyed with graphic and the rabbit image and I think it will attract the attention of many people and make them donate.
