Postcard Assignment

As with the practice postcard (New York City), you will include the same components and photoshop effects:

See the tutorial if you need help.

1. Decide on a place that will serve as your vacation destination. It could be a city, a beach, and an amusement park, etc.

2. Copy a background photo from Google that reflects your destination choice.

3. Once in Photoshop, crop the photo to 5"x 7" or 7"x5" @ 72 p/i.
Name it: "Postcard"


4. Don't forget to de-saturate your photo, colorize it, add the noise filter, and reduce the opacity.

5. Add the Text of your Destination. Choose a bold font. Remember to convert the text to a shape and use your white (direct selection tool) arrow to slightly alter the font.

6. Add at least 3 images from your Destination choice to clip into your word--just like you did with the practice.

7. Add an additional text like "visit", "enjoy", or your own word and place/tilt at the top directly above your Destination choice. Finally, add a slogan at the bottom--just like the practice.
