Every Logo Needs An Ad

You may have seen my previous blog with a logo on it for my family. I have recently created an advertisement based off of my logo. The ad is for a family reunion. On the ad, I put when and where the reunion would take place. I tried to keep the ad short and concise that way it is easier to read. I used multiple tools such as the shape tool for the pointed objects on the background. I also used the dragging tool to get the logo straight from my other blog picture that way the logo would be identical. Before I used the dragging tool, I first used the lasso tool to grab all of the text that I wanted to use. I used the paint bucket tool to fill in the colors on the background, the distort tool to wave the title, and the text tool to apply all of the text, of course. I made many mistakes from experiencing with the paint brush to draw different pictures, so the eraser tool came in handy and was very helpful. I used the eye dropper tool to get the colors to match perfectly. For my picture of the group of people I used the crop tool several times to make the picture fit correctly. Below is my finished advertisement. 

Family Logo

Throughout the last couple class periods I have been creating a logo. Now, due to the fact that I am not very creative I could not think of any type of organizations or clubs to make a logo for, so as a result, I made a logo for my family. Below you will see my final product.

This logo represents my family of five. Each family member is represented with blue or brown eyes, dark or light hair, and to help decipher which girl is which in my family, the dresses are that girl's favorite color. By using the shape tool, I put a Fleur de Lis in the middle of my family's nickname. I used this shape because we live in Louisville and that is our city symbol. I made the text red and the shape black because we are die hard Louisville Cardinal fans. Also using the shape tool, I added the background shapes because I thought that the shape just sort of said "BOOM!" this is the Ratterman family. I decided to go with the gray background because even though we are an extremely loud family, we still have our calm and quiet days, and the gray just says "Hi, it's time to relax and have a lazy day."
