Minor Miscommunication and "The Proposal Contest"

Remember the contest I wrote about in my last post? My mentor loves the idea! I love that feeling of accomplishment. However, before I begin to talk about it, I just need to point out a few things.

Sometime in April, I was told that there is an event to work at this weekend. However, I found out today after contacting my mentor and his fiancee that there isn't any. I was told it was on another day. I looked back at my old text messages with them and it said May 4. I know, it sounds like I'm complaining, but it just points out the lack of communication lately. In any business or group work in general, communication is key.  Without it, no one will know what's going on.

So back on the happy. I made pretty cool flyers for the contest. I decided to call it "The Proposal Contest" to keep it simple. Here's the first item:
Flyer number one

Yes, I really did put the giant "SAMPLE" on this. It's not official until approved. Funny story about creating this though... I wanted to use a .png file of the famous FaceBook "Like" button and spent so much time looking for one... Until I realized that it may be illegal for me to use if I don't ask for permission. So yes, always remember copyright, Genie!

Also, I filtered the photo. It's a little bit more glowy than how it originally was. It brings a nice fantasy feel.

The second item I made was a collage type. It's a cover.
I personally like this one. To me, it gives me a typical ad you would find on fashion pages on FaceBook. It doesn't look like something scanned onto the computer (which is not!). Trust me. I've advertised plenty of things for ASB where the pictures we used didn't look that great... In my opinion. This has a... professional feel to it, if you will. Of course, the pictures used here aren't mine. My mentor owns these. ... Maybe that's why it looks legit.

The last one I made was another flyer, but this one has instructions on it.
I'm not sure if my mentor will be doing this contest anytime soon, but I'm sure he will use it later!

Until again! Bye!
