Graphic-iti

As an employee working for a Title 5 project, I have to create a lot of promotional material for the university. This time I had to crea¬te a poster and promotional material for the sixth day of teaching improvement. The theme of the day was “Technology in the classroom.” Because it is a fairly broad topic, I decided to take a photograph that blends technology and education. The result of the first concept was this photo.

The odd thing was that the photo was composed of things that I was in my power. I did not have to buy anything. The natural light helped a lot. The specifications of the camera were:

Camera Model : Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi

Then I composed the art with a header and text colors, thinking that could be used only as a cover of the invitation and program. The final composition was as follows.

It was fun doing the photo. I love having the freedom to create. Unfortunately, this was not the picture or the concept used. But I am grateful that I was permitted to experiment.
