Blogging and Photoshop powerpoint

1. Blogging and Adobe Photoshop
Presentation by Joseph Burke

2. Blogging Experience
 I really enjoyed making my own blog and having the
freedom of writing what I want to write about.
 Writing for a blog is much more easy and laidback than
writing a paper in MLA or APA format.
 Blogging allows you to write more freely, voice your
opinion, and write in your own personal style without
someone criticizing.
 I am a communications major so working with social
media and blogs is helping me for the future.

3. Layout, background, and color
 For my blog, I chose a travel Template with a simple
background
 I have a Navy/Blue color scheme as well for Westfield
State’s school colors.
 Every blog post has blue text to reiterate the Westfield
colors.

4. Favorite Blogging tools
 The Heading, Subheading, and minor heading tool
 The Heading allowed me to state the main focus of the
post.
 The Subheading serves as a thesis statement for the
post.
 The minor heading tool can be used for bullet points
that analyze key facts and points of the blog post.

5. Photoshop experience
 This was my first Photoshop experience so I was not too
familiar with editing photos.
 Trial and error is how I learned to correctly edit photos.
 There are so many different tools and functions that
may not seem useful until you actually start playing
around with them.

6. Favorite tools/techniques
 My personal Favorite tool was the transform tool.
 This tool allowed me to create some really unique
shadows in my photos.
 I did not know it was possible to edit and warp a picture
enough to make it look way more defined and unique.

8. Continued
 This picture was taken from an iphone 5 and it is hard
to believe.
 I didn’t do much to this picture besides put a heavy
shadow on the buildings and trees.
 I thought that editing the picture to make the lighting
dark and shadows heavy would put emphasis and focus
on the colors in the sky.

9. Blogging with photos
 Incorporating photos into your blog is a great way of
grabbing the viewers attention.
 No person reading a blog wants to stare at blank text
the whole time, Visuals are key.
 They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I
believe this.
 Placing a photo in your blog post will make it easier for
the reader to get a visual look on what your blog post is
focused on.
