Bryan Lai created a Facebook page for his school basketball team to increase awareness through social media. He learned how to build out the page with a description, logo, photos from games, and an attractive banner and icons designed in Photoshop. Through the process, Bryan gained skills in social media management, photo uploading, and graphic design with Photoshop, and developed additional ideas for promoting the team with a poster using colors and images from the Facebook page.
