Ross Barham created a practice film poster by editing a photo in Photoshop and Illustrator. In Photoshop, he darkened the background and cut out the subject. He then used Illustrator to add text for the billing block and title using custom fonts inspired by The Silence of the Lambs. Finally, he returned to Photoshop to blend the background and subject using the smudge tool before cropping and saving the final poster. The process helped Ross re-familiarize himself with the Adobe suite.

10 Steps to Turn Your Charity Into a Corporate Sponsorship MagnetMikaela Robertson
Why is it that only a few charities seem to benefit from all the corporate sponsorship? Is it possible that other worthy charities are missing out due to weaknesses in their online marketing and communications strategy?

The document provides a template for evaluating a graphic narrative project. It prompts the creator to:
- Provide specific details and examples from their work that they like or are proud of.
- Find areas that could be improved and what they would change if revising the project.
- Compare their final product to their original intentions, plans, and storyboards.
- Discuss how well they constructed images using techniques like color, texture, and composition.
- Evaluate how well text anchors and supports the images in conveying meaning.
- Consider if the product is suitable for its intended audience.
The User Experience (UX) and design work are usually done by skilled professionals or by the developers themselves. The first option is almost always satisfactory but it puts the bottleneck on the designer and it is usually done hiring a designer, adding to your project costs. The second option is cheaper and immediate but, sincerely, most of the design done by developers is "less then stellar" (in kind words).
However, you don't have to pursue a designer carreer to successfully make a design for your next project. By applying time-proven knowledge and reusing great designs, you can have the best of both worlds. Your design won't play in Champions League (some things are best done by professionals) but it will surely be more than a match for your needs.
Learn the basic design concepts, essentials and recipes, without the boring stuff. Your next project will be glad you did.

2. Goal, Audience, Message
• Goal: Improve computer communication skills
in those who feel computer illiterate.
• Audience: The “older” generation (40+).
• Message: Computers can help families
connect more. Learn more at [posted website]
3. 1st Try
• Wanted a “Bulletin Board” feel
• Wanted to provide a “connect across the
world” feel
• And thus this (terrible) design was created:
4.
5. Getting Somewhere
In my next iteration I focused on:
• “personalizing” through emotion
• Alignment
• Adding color
• Getting my message worked out
6.
7. Making it more interesting
• I then added a background, color (Analogous),
and lots of contrast.
• This next design I played with a lot of things
that I later found were kind of breaking the
rules (angled text), but I felt it kinda worked
here.
8.
9. Type Focus
• My focus in my next piece was on getting my
types to work in harmony with each other
(rather than clashing).
• For my text I used a very bold Sans Serif
(Impact) and an italicized oldstyle
(Garmamond italic)
• I also wanted to try a vertical text (which I felt
worked somewhat better than the angled
text).
10.
11. Final Design
• For my final design I:
• Went to a complimentary color scheme
(Yellow and Purple)
• Changed my Triangle set of pictures to verticle
• And made everything look a little more
organized.
