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.
