Title: Advertisement design

 

Abstract: Communication major has two research areas. The first one is copywriting planning, another one is ad design. I'm a great copywriting writer, and I also want to be a good designer because it's exciting and helpful. The EDGE program gives me an opportunity to learn graphic design. So, I will have more choices when I need to find a job. In my opinion, the essence of design is to solve the problem, the process of seeking the best combination of function and form. Therefore, it requires designers to look at the world from creative and critical perspective. I will be working 8 hours every week and learning how to use design tools like Photoshop. Then, I will be looking at the original ad on the internet and thinking about my project. I will also be visiting the museum, so, I can get some ideas from the work of art. I am also beginning research on the composition of a picture, it is an essential part of the design. An excellent composition will make the work more artistic.

 

Project Goal: I set my goal was to learn some design tools and created 3 ads. Firstly, I downloaded Photoshop and watched the video to learn how to use Photoshop. In the summer, my mother wanted to make homemade wine at home, and I very like the car, so, I decided to design two ads for wine and car.  Coupon can be applied to any company, so, I chose coupon as my last ad.

 

Outcome(s): This project provided a great opportunity for me. Because I finished this project, so, I can get an amazing portfolio and find a job easily. After I finished my EDGE project, I did this flier because Christmas was coming. I put these designs into my resume, then I got two job’s interviews. Because I had learned this design skill which improved my competitive advantage in job marketing.
