Original DS 106 Assignment: City Graphic Poster (3 stars)

I love scenery photo so this seemed like a no brainer to do. I had this photo of National Harbor skyline I took when driving one day, yes I did drive around with no destination, but with recent gas prices, I refuse. 0 people have completed the assignment so there was nothing to follow, maybe I will upload a tutorial of my own when I figure out how to do that!

With my major being in Communications and Digital Studies, being able to transfer photos into posters and advertisements is something I need to be able to do quickly, this is where a majority of the job market is. Ok, well not majority, but for entry level positions the grunt work may be producing multiples of these everyday. I am hopefully going to be using some of my work from this class and creating a portfolio to present with job opportunities.

Step 1: Open Canva at canva.com
Step 2: Select “Create Design” and scroll down to “Poster” or the desired size.
Step 3: Select the photos you want to use and edit for the graphic poster. Adjust the photo to fill the poster as much as needed and crop.

Step 4: Add any gradience, stickers, or add any filters with the tabs on the left hand side.
Step 5: Add text! This can be promotional, something basic like the city, state or town.

Step 6: Add any more fixings! This can be great for town events, fundraiser, or upkeeping town morale. This can be taken far more beyond just adding a town name, and is multiuse.
Step 7: Click “Share” and select how you want to save your media or share it towards any social medias!
