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.

Hello Kelsy, I really like your draft post your post was very intriguing and your poster was a great attention grabber. One suggestion that I have is that you could blend together the text and your photos better on your poster so that it looks more professional. Another suggestion that I have is that you could add a simple workout plan that people could easily do to get them into workout. Even something like three simple workouts that people could do everyday at anytime or any place. I thought that your post was really solid and only needs a little more work to achieve the grade that you want. I like the images that you chose for your photos they really stand out and grab the viewer’s attention, which is the sole purpose of a poster so great job. This is one of the best posts that I have seen and am really excited to see the final project.

Hi Kelsy,
I think that the colors work well in this poster, especially the contrasts with grey and pink, and pink and black. The general layout of the pictures and text is also appealing. To separate the pictures, you might try adding a thin pink border–I’m not sure if that would look good or not but you without it the food in the corner seems to have a bit of a jagged transition with the gym floor.
When I first read your poster and saw “Key to a Healthy Lifestyle”, I thought you had made a typing error with “key” instead of “keys”; I understand what you meant now–that your fitness journey was the single “key” to a healthy lifestyle–but initially I had interpreted each of the images as an example of a key, meaning there would be multiple keys. Perhaps that was because of the location of the subtitle.
I do notice that the “Key to a Healthy Lifestyle” box extends slightly past the image below it, so I would trim that to be even. Again, I do like the overall layout and colors used.

I really like the vibe of your blog. The second I opened it it felt very welcoming and like something I wanted to read and wasn’t forced to. I also like that you personalized it from the original backgrounds and that it shows effort. I like how your topic of your final project is about fitness because that is a very useful and easy way to make an appearance on wordpress. Your poster is very well put together and shows that you spent sometime working on it. I also like how you have a calender along with every post I thought that was unique compared to some other peoples. If I were to suggest something for you to add or fix I would say maybe add a few more boarders around the pictures in your posters just to add more definition. I would also say maybe have the text boxes be not black so that you have more attention drawn to what it says. But honestly even without fixing that everything looks really good.
