When revising my Graphic Design project I decided to use different aspects in order to make it more appealing to the eye. From the feedback I received I was told to use more tools throughout my project, as well as making my text more more fitting. I decided to make the 3 most important things in my topic numbered to make them stand out and go with my pictures. I used the text tool, along with the rectangle tool to create the colored box behind my text to make it stand out more. I also used the warped text tool for the header to add something different and catch the attention of what my topic is. With my pictures I used 3 that related to my topic the most. One of myself which my Mom took of me in San Diego, California. This represents my journey and why I have a passion about my topic. I then chose a picture of healthy food which I got from a website (will cite below), which is a very important part to a healthy lifestyle. I then used a picture of a gymnasium which I got from a website (will cite below). I chose to put the gymnasium in the background because I thought I represent it in the way that it is the most important part and the core to my topic. I used the Elliptical Marquee Tool to edit both the pictures and do something different with them. I used the tutorials in order to help me do this and refresh my memory on how to use the tools. Overall, I think that the comments and feedback were very helpful and it made me improve my graphic design project in many ways.

My project focuses on my fitness journey. I used these 3 pictures to represent the most important 3 aspects throughout my fitness journey. I used the photograph of the gym to be in the background. The gym has been a very important part of my fitness journey. Leaving soccer and relying on going to the gym and finding workout routines was very important. Staying in shape is the best way to keep yourself and your body healthy. I then used a picture of the plate of healthy food to represent the new and healthy diet I had to take on in order to keep my body in shape, and to keep myself healthy and happy. Eating a healthy diet, while working out will give you more energy throughout your day, and will make you feel better about yourself. l I then added a picture of myself after a soccer game which to me represents the beginning of my fitness journey. Shortly after this picture was taken by my Mom, I had to give up this soccer lifestyle and take on a new one. This picture I view as when I was my best self. Healthy and happy. This motivates me everyday throughout my fitness journey to get back to that state. To me these pictures represent my fitness journey in the best way possible because it brings out the most important aspects of it. I used photoshop to layer my pictures in the way where the gym would be in the background because that is the base of how stay the most healthy.

This is a picture of me taken by my Mom in San Diego, California. This picture to me represents the end of a new beginning. This was after one of my games when I was in the best shape, and this has inspired throughout my fitness journey to get back to my healthy and happy self, even though soccer is out of the picture now. healthy and happy self, even though soccer is out of the picture now.
