Comedy Writing

Sense of humor is an important character trait because without it life would be pretty boring.

Also almost everybody loves a good laugh. It is also an important trait because you can influence people in a good way. Also you can pop a joke in awkward situations when no one is talking or something weird just happened. And last but not least it will help to make conversations more enjoyable.

Writing a Humorous narrative can be pretty difficult but Ill share 5 tips that may make writing one easier.  Tip #1 pick an event or subject and stick with it. Tip #2 Be funny not harsh. Tip #3 Be sarcastic, cause if your sarcastic and then right at the end you give a 1 liner about the truth it might be really funny. Tip #4 Make sure the narrative flow. And last Tip #5 When complete read it with plenty of expression and weird faces.

My comedic monologue is about how "great" school is. Its basically talking about how much I love school and how great it is.  One part says "I love spending 35 hours of my week in a nice hot humid classroom" which is obviously not true. I think its funny because Who really likes school??,  I certainly don't. I also think its going to be funnier when I add visuals because they will show sarcasm but the voiceover will sound somewhat believable.

Motivational Poster

Our latest project is a motivational poster, there are quite a few requirements. For this project we are going to be graded on a 4 point scale. The requirements are to have 2 text layers, the 2 layers should consist of your manifesto and our personal quotes. Also 4 image layers which should consist of 3 images that symbolize us and 1 portrait of ourself. To get all 4 possible points We need to kern our text to fill the whole photoshop document. Have a triadic color scheme, visual balance, and last to have visual balance to create an artistic appeal.

The first step is to write your manifesto and quotes, I did this by looking at what others have written and wrote my own. Next, I took photos of my symbols. Then I put my text and photos in photoshop. After the I got the text in I kerned it to fit across the whole document. After, I got the photos and arranged them using visual balance. Then, I Added a color overlay to the symbols. Next, I added layer styles to my text. Lastly, I saved the document as a .JPEG and turned it in.

The biggest challenge in this project would definitely have to be kerning the text. I thought this was the hardest and most difficult because this took the most time. One of the hardest part about kerning was getting the text moved around. Also I couldn't figure out how to make the text fit across the whole page. I completed this task by asking others and checking out the focus wall. Also, by using my knowledge and Mr. Sanderls demonstrations. After a lot of moving, sizing, and kerning the text I finally got the text to fit.
