Midterm Project

Today I worked on my midterm in class and I thought that I would never complete the project. It's hard to believe that something that gives so much pleasure could be so stressful. I understand that the more I work with this program, the better and easier it will get. I do Understand that! I focused my mid-term page layout around my twenty-eight year son when he was a small boy. I browsed through an abundance of pictures I had scanned and came up with three that I thought fit what I wanted to do. Once I chose my pictures, I also chose a page layout. Before I could start creating the layout , I had to rotate my pictures because they were scanned upside down. Once I rotated the pictures, I had to crop my photos in order to remove items in the photo that I did not want there. When I finished cropping the photos, I chose a background and arranged the three photos on the background. I used the framing to give the photos a soft child like look/or feel. I did not use the filter, because it took away from the look I was trying to accomplish. I gave each picture a shadowing look or brightness around the photos. I changed the formation, size and coloring of the photos by lightening the photos with the enhance file. I used the text book to choose a font and size to type a text onto the page layout. By the end of the page layout, it became easier for me.
