Comedy Writing

Sense of humor is a very important trait. Do you know why? Well, in my opinion I know everyone has made somebody laugh and we all have that trait somewhere in us. However, this does not mean everybody will take in or understand what you said the same. When you try to make someone laugh the outcome depends on who you ask, sometimes it will be a soft chuckle other times it might be an obnoxious laugh. We all like having a buddy that can make us have a good laugh, its good for the heart, and makes life better. Humor also brings people together like family, friendships, and other relationships. If you laugh at the same things as someone and make fun of similar stuff then its most likely you have more things in common than you think. So get out there! Let your inner humor shine because theres somebody out there that you might never have thought you could be so close to!

Our class project is to write a humorous narrative hoping when we show our class they will laugh. Some tips that might be helpful to you when you are ever asked to do this or wanting to for fun is what I want to share. First, think about a very funny event that you heard or even happen to you, add some exaggeration, it doesn't all have to be real but make it up a little using your creative mind. Don't only think about if your audiences are gonna like it because if their willing to listen to it then they expect it too be funny, and good. If your in my situation were you sadly got to show your audience no matter what then you should think about what everyone may have in common. Once you find that make a story about it. For example everyone usually hates cleaning there room so I would use that. Give a twist to the story adding very unexpected things to happen. Tie up the overall story with a very humorous ending because thats when you want your audience to laugh the most.
  
When I had to choose my comedic monologue I thought about a funny little joke my friend told me. This joke was literally about two sentences so I had to add a little more to turn it into a real life story. The first things I start to talk about how Im in dreadful long hours in the car listening to my mother babble her mouth away. We are already going to wedding so Im not really in the mood. Trust me I love them and think its cute and all but bad things come along with bad things. (Then I have to add my favorite and funniest part of the joke for the last laugh.) I hate it when old people come up to me and say "your next" so when I see those same old people at a funeral i say your " next ". At first I thought this might be a little mean but its a joke and some people in my class might take this as offensive or rude but thats their opinion.

Motivational Poster

Our first g.t. project was the Motivational Poster but for this project we have to follow some layer requirements. First we need to have a total of 4 images, 3 being pictures that symbolize you, and the last being a portrait image of your face. Lastly, their is design expectations like all text should be kerned to fit across the entire page having no holes or blank spaces. Then, we need to head over to a triadic color scheme website and we find one dominant color and two harmonious accent colors. You can also use blending options like drop shadow, stroke, outer glow, and bevel & emboss. For adjustment layers we are expected to adjust levels, curves, exposure, and color balance.

One of the biggest struggles I had was trying to expand my images because the quality wasn't how I expected it to turn out. During importing images into the background behind my personal quotes I didn't transfer my pictures right so each time I tried to make them fit it would end up looking skewed even when I did hold on to shift.
