Comedy Writing

Hey guys! Today I will tell you about why a sense of humor is important, describing 5 tips for writing a humorous narrative, and explain my monologue and why it's funny. A sense of humor is an important character trait that shows you can take in the joke and get what they are trying to say. Sense of humor is important because without it, you can't get the joke that a person is trying to give you. For example, you ask a joke and the person laughs, it is more funny then when you ask a person and they don't laugh at the joke. It is also important because for the fun of nothing being all boring and lame. Can you imagine a world without anything funny or things to do! That is the reasons why I think the character trait a sense of humor is important.

One tip to writing a humorous narrative is to have voice. If you don't have voice in your joke narrative, the joke won't make sense and won't be funny. Another tip is to use things that happen to your everyday life. For example, everyday I see my neighbors walking their dogs, so I can write for a joke," The dog owner wants you to butt of  the dog because it will bite." That wasn't a good example put you guys know what I mean. A third tip is to use a thesaurus. You should a thesaurus only because you might be able to find a funny word for your humorous narrative. A fourth tip is use comedic timing. It's used for to make the reader surprised or to turn them into another direction. A final tip is come up with a good hook paragraph. You would do this to drag the reader in so they will keep reading the joke. To get ideas for the tips I used this website http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Short,-Funny-Story. Those are some tips to writing a good humorous narrative.

I came up with my comedic monologue by the thought of unusual things. The example of the unusual things I used is when I listed Rob what animal he was in his dream. This leads to one reason why I think my humorous narrative is funny. It is because about how you think Rob will look like in his dream. I also think its funny because about how he has to go sleep in the end. My final reason is because he jumps off the cliff and then wakes up jumping of his bed. That all for today guys and keep watching out for new posts.

Motivational Poster

I'm am doing this project for a class project called The Motivational Poster. The motivational poster requirements are two text layers that are called Manifesto and Personal Quotes, three text layers that have pictures that represents you, and one text layer of your portrait. Those were the Photoshop Requirements. The Design Requirements are to kern so both text layers covers the entire page with no blank spots. Also there is the Triadic Color Scheme to put and adjust the colors of  your text colors. Then there is visual balance. It equally distributes the visual weight for an artistic appeal. Finally there is the blending options. The blending options are supposed to be for the layers. This is the expectations for the Motivational Poster.

For the Photoshop layers, I copied my Manifesto and Personal Quotes from my Google Drive and downloaded my GT symbols from Google + and also downloaded my portrait picture from a camera. For the design layers, I kerned my Personal Quotes and my Manifesto. For example, I made the spacing between each word wider so it will fill out that whole line and I made the letters taller. After that I put the color layers. I put it on the text so it would pop up more so you can see the text over the pictures and for the looks off the poster. These are the things I did to put together my Motivational Poster.


Probably the biggest challenge for me was the kerning. This was the first time I did a project like this and I probably thought I did so so on the kerning. To improve my kerning, I probably could have actually adjusted the letters so they were all kerned differently. For example some were stretched out more and some were smaller than others. I could have actually also made the letters for kerning a little more detailed. For example, making the letters pop out more and making the color layer more pop out. This is what was my biggest challenge for the Motivational Poster and how I can improve it.
