Exhibit 12 - Advanced 

Graduation Announcement (extra credit submission)

Photoshop Tools Used:
  • Transparency
  • Gaussian blur
  • Crop
  • Camera RAW filter 

The best part about getting my minor in multimedia is using my skills to help my friends and family. My mother-in-law wanted to send out graduation announcements for my husband. I offered to take the photos and design the invites. I used the Camera RAW filter to bring up the shadows and up the saturation to make the colors more vibrant. I also sharpened and smoothed the image. I used a transparent square with a Gaussian blur so the iconic A would still be visible with the text being readable. I used a modern font and a hierarchy of importance to format my text. I was able to adjust the size of the image so they would be printable and fit the envelopes.
