For my lesson 8 project I had to create three ads from the photos I used from the "Portraits with Purpose" assignment and then use what I learned from Corey Barker's How to Create Bada$$ Effects in Photoshop textbook to edit each ad.

I decided to keep the theme of escaping reality and finding yourself in nature for my three ads. I wanted to keep each design similar but with a different nature theme. For my first ad I decided to find an image of nature that matched the background of the image I took and place it in the text as a pattern overlay. I thought this effect looked best with each of my ads. I wanted to incorporate nature but keep the overall look of each ad soft and give off a relaxing feel.

I continued to use the same effects on my second ad (pattern overlay). I found another image of nature that matched the photo's background and placed it into the text of the ad. I decided to use a rectangle shape around the call to action (button) to make it stand out from the other text.

For my third ad I kept it the same as the first two but decided to chose an image for the text that stood out more from the photo's background. I switched it up because the 3rd and 2nd ad had similar colors in the backgrounds and I wanted to make each one unique with it's own color schemes.
