Social Media advertisement assignment for the New York Institute of Art and Design.
In this project I created a series of social media ads using a text template as well as following the assignment guidelines. For my vector graphics, I wanted to create a frame for the text that both grasps the viewers' attention as well as compliments the raster graphic in the ad. I used the gradient tool to achieve this.
I also wanted to add some form of illustration to each advertisement. I used the pen tool and shape tool to create these illustrations, which were then transported into photoshop as a smart object.
Assignment Guidelines:
Create five different unique designs by introducing different vector and raster imagery into the existing templates.
