Practice Advert

 Today we are making a practice advert. My advert will be a hyena sanctuary charity. I am going 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 chose Print in the top menu of the dialog box and then chose A4, added title and clicked Background and chose white. Then clicked on okay to make my canvas.

I then clicked on File in the top menu and 'open' and chose my hyena image from my desktop which I had downloaded from Unsplash as these are copyright free images and are free to use. I then wanted to add my hyena image to my canvas so i went to my picture and clicked on 'Select' and then 'Select All' from the top menu and then i went to 'Edit' in the top menu and then 'copy'. I then went back to my canvas and clicked 'Edit' and then '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 is with background colour and the other one without which I'm goin to use

Next I added a new text layer by clicking on the 'T' in the left hand tools menu and then clicking on the canvas.  I then changed the words to my tagline and then I change the colour to compliment my image and logo. I used Brocklyn font at 100pts and then I used the alignment to left align the words.  Finally I added further words with a donate now section and used the move and alignment tools to place this into my advert.

Please see my final advert here which I downloaded as both a png and a jpeg file for higher quality.

Reflection

This was a good practice as it helps me to think about the graphic design and structure of the advert and who my audience are and how I will reach them. I quite enjoyed he color scheme which worked with of the colours in the image and I think this is simple and clean and would bring donations.
