Planner
This assignment was very similar to the Jazz festival assignment because both assignments have a chance of actually being used for a real purpose. I choose a blue and gold blended background because those are the EHS school colors and I thought the reflected blue and gold colors looked pretty cool. I also included a cougar and some paw prints to represent our mascot. At first, I had some trouble picking the colors of the text because some of the text would be partly on the blue, and partly on the gold parts of the background. To solve this problem while still being able to use blue and gold text, I copied each text layer and created a sort of shadow with the other color. This way I could still see the STUDENT PLANNER on the gold background, and still see the EVERGREEN and SCHOOL on the blue background and the paws. Overall, I think it ended up looking pretty professional like this could easily be the real planner cover for next year which is pretty neat.
