Graphic Design Project

My baseball Club Buff Bee Baseball will be holding tryouts for kids to join the baseball club. I have decided to create a poster to reach out to families and kids so they will be appealed to join my club. Picture 1 (Top left) was taken by my close friend and fraternity brother Dakota Cruz. I thought this picture would start it off the poster nicely. Using the picture I used my new Photoshop skills to highlight myself and the baseball to make it look happy and pop out a little more with a darker background. Picture 2 (Top Right) was taken by a close family friend Bridget Bilotti a avid photographer who took this picture of me playing and sent it to me through Facebook. this picture really highlights the baseball aspect of colors and action. I faded out some of the background to highlight the playing field. The final picture(Bottom Right) was taken by a highschool friend Aj Chappell I decided to use this picture to show that the club is more than baseball. Buff Bee baseball doesn’t only teach kids how to play baseball at a elite level but, teaches kids how to be a better man. One of the main goals of this club is something that I have learned being in my fraternity at WSU. I am not planning on copying their slogan or ideals of being men but, what they look for to be a PIKE is called S.L.A.G. This stands for Scholars Leaders Athletes and Gentlemen. My goal is to incorporate these ideals into the young men of my program. I strive to push academics very strongly and remind them constantly to put their best foot forwards into their school work because how important it is. Another main ideal I want to focus on is actions, I want my students/athletes to strive to do more and talk less. I believe that actions do speak louder than words and kids should live their careers by that motto and get their work done with their heads down and then look up.

The main edit I have made to my graphic design project is I have added a black border to the outside of the poster. This way when you view it especially with the White background of WordPress it now does not blend in. It is now easier to especially see the white area where I have put my words. This was the most constructive comment I received on my post.
