Graphics+Activity+2

This was most definitely a frustrating task. I decided to create a banner because I thought it would be neat to use for letters I send home or on my school webpage. To create the banner these are the steps I followed. First, I set the dimension at around 470 by 60 pixels. I then filled the background color in with our school color royal blue. I copied the chieftain headdress from our school website and used this on the banner. I cropped it to fit the size of the banner and made sure both images were set to RGB mode. This is what gave me the most difficulty. I could not for the life of me get the image from the internet on the banner I had created. This setting was listed under modes. I then dragged the chieftain image onto the banner. I used the type tool to create our school name and mission statement. I learned a lot through this project. Even though it seems like a simple task, it gets very frustrating when you do not know what you are doing. Almost everything I did in this project was new to me. Even filling in the banner background color. But the most difficult task for me was to get the two images together on the same page.
