CONSTRACT:
- The contrast I used in this photo is mainly the colors. The background is using light reds, yellows, and tans — so I wanted the font to stand out with out drowning out the background. So the image I used I put the opacity to 50% to allow for the text to be seen and readable for the consumer.
- The only repetition I used in this graphic is the font — which I was nervous to do because I love using multiple fonts and elements to graphics. However I wanted to really go for a fun, warm, and easy-going vibe when creating this graphic. The font I used was Brother Home and I love the feeling it gives the graphic and I chose to just use one font because it conveyed the message I wanted to give my consumers.
- For the alignment of this graphic I wanted to put the text in the middle of the page because I wanted this to be used to advertise on Instagram, specifically on Instagram Story. However, I did play with the alignment a lot because I didn't want there to be too much empty space on top but not too much empty space in the middle if I had out the words more towards the top. I also put some information on the bottom of the graphic in a smaller font because it's important information but wanted the focus to be on the event name, date, and time.

The Process.
The idea behind this graphic was to be used for Aggie First Scholar's Instagram story.
For the background I got a photo off of Pinterest and took the opacity to 43% in my original post the opacity was at 63%. I chose to bring the opacity down because I feel like the background was a bit distracting and drowned out the text. I then used Brother Home for the main font because I wanted to go for a handwritten note feel and then for the information I used Metric because in my original graphic I used only Brother Home and it made it hard to read the information.
