Description: Photo design project that demonstrates good photo editing skills. Also incorporating an original image onto a poster using various color schemes.
Process: I started off deciding that I wanted a Complimentary color scheme. I looked around for things that I wanted to photograph and use for this project. I took my cleats to the stadium and took a picture where there was good lighting and lots of opportunity for composition. I used my Nikon Coolpix P600 camera and brought the photographs to the Spori lab where I could use Photoshop. In Photoshop I used these edits, Vibrance, Sharpness, and Saturation. Then, using a series of text and color boxes, I matched my color scheme to my image, added a quote, and put the names of the colors I used onto my poster.
Message: I wanted to make yet another inspirational sports poster that can also hep in one’s daily life. Yes there are cleats, yes it’s a football coach’s quote, but it’s good life advice. I wanted to pick a color scheme that brought your eye straight to it.
Audience: Any sports fan, or any person who is looking for that extra nudge to get through the day.
Top thing learned: The top thing that I learned was to be patient in photoshop. I had never dealt with any design software before this semester so to figure it all out is requiring patience.
Color Schemes: Complimentary Color Names: Red, Green
Font Name and Style: Berlin Sans FB; Sans Serif

Hi Carson! I really like the picture that you chose for this project. It’s simple, but it draws the focus which I think is good. Green has the potential to be Christmassy when used with red, but this particular shade makes it a lot more mature. Good job! Colten’s project was also sports themed, so you might like it.

Carson, I really like this project! They layout was great and you utilized that white space very well. Your color selection was also very good. I felt that the shade of red went really well with the cleats. Check out my post
