Practice Advert

 Today in digital arts, we are going to create a practice advert using pixlr editor online. I planned to create an awareness advertisement. First i searched 3 images of animal i wanted to include in the advert from unsplashed, make sure to choose the free images and save the picture on the computer folder. Once i got the images saved on my computer, i then open pixlr editor and click 'create new', then choose 'print' and pick the size of the canvas that i want. Then i change the background color to white by clicking 'image', and then press 'canvas background'. 

Once the blank background is set, i then open the images that i saved on a desktop folder by clicking on 'file', 'open image', then i select the images and press apply. To paste the picture on the canvas layer, i click 'select', select all', and press the ctrl + c to copy and then paste it to the main canvas layer.

The next step is to create a logo for my endangered animal awareness advertisement. The website i used to create the logo is tailor brands, where i first need to give all the information about my company and pick the font and styles i like my logo to be. Last,  I customize the logo that i like by changing the font and color. To save the logo, I use snipping tools to print screen and press 'ctrl + v' to paste back to the main canvas frame in pixlr editor. I then arrange the logo to where i wanted it to be, i decided to put the logo on the upper right side of my advertisement. 

Once i have my company logo on the frame, last i need to add my tagline to draw attention to my target audience. The tagline needs to be a short and interesting sentence that tells what you wanted your audience to hear. To add tagline, i press the text tools button on the left side, then press 'add'. I then type the tagline that i wanted and customize the font and size. I choose to use 'beornheard' font with size 140 & 315. I like that the font really suit the advertisement concept as well as the picture i used, where the font give a wild jungle looks. 

To export the advertisement as jpg, I clicked the save button and press 'jpg' and 'high' quality image then press 'save as' and choose the folder that I wanted the image to saved at. 

The advertisement came out just how I imagine it would be, I'm really happy with the result. Today's task is not complicated and I could finish it on time during the course. For future project, I'm looking forward to learn using other editing online websites like photoshop to create more creative digital projects.
