Summary of Digital File Preperation

This class was by far one of my favorite graphics classes I have taken. I did not have to do projects line by line out of some book. This class actually let us use our creative abilities to create our own projects. Also the grading was very straight forward. At the beginning of the year Mrs. Benson had us grade an article just as she was going to grade ours for the entire year. I also like the variety of projects we had to make. This class will be very helpful to me in the future, for once I have taken a class and I will actually use the information later in life. Can't say that for my descriptive astronomy class.

As far as changes for the class, I don't see anything that I would changed. I liked how the class was setup from beginning to end. In the beginning we were taught how to critique our projects and how they were supposed to be setup. This is also the first class that I have actually had to have my projects printed. This is also helpful in making students realize that some things that look great on a computer screen just don't cut it printed on paper.

All in all I am glad that I took this class and I actually had fun doing it.

Final Project

Greenbox

For my final project I have decided to recreate a pizza box I have found on the internet. This is not just any pizza box. It is called the green box for its recycle abilities. Below is a video of the green box


My pizza company I have created is called Pope's Pizza. It uses the slogan "Temptation never tasted so good."


Target Audience/Call to Action

My call to action is to make people want to buy pizza. I do this by using humor and having a professional looking product.

My target audience is anyone of any age.
