Draft Graphic Design Project

I decided to create a brochure cover for my graphic design project. My topic is intramural sports so I created a brochure cover that would advertise for WSU intramural sports. I tried to use the laws of proximity and continuation in my design. Continuation was one I really tried to incorporate because with the theme of intramural sports having the impression of motion in my design was important. I tried to incorporate as many sports as possible in my design to showcase the variety of intramural sports offered at WSU. I used the grass from a baseball field as a background, and a cutout of a baseball player to make sure baseball and softball were represented in the graphic. I also used cutouts of someone playing a golf and someone playing basketball to illustrate some of the other popular sports offered by the school. I framed the title of the graphic with hockey sticks to show yet another intramural sport that is offered. I got the images that I used from Pixabay, the website made it easy to find cutouts from a variety of sports that I could use to create an effective brochure cover. The basketball cutout required me to use the magnetic lasso tool and create multiple layers to get the person, the ball, and the hoop, but I was able to do so using multiple copies of the picture. Other than that, most of what I had to do was just placing a rotating the images I used to create the graphic. I also used the text tool to create the title and the information in the bottom right corner. I tried to pick an interesting font for the title and information, I also thought it was a good idea to make crimson the font color, given that it was a brochure for WSU intramurals. Photoshop-Draft
