Background Information:
- I really want to create a newsletter that I had a interest in. Since I eat, drink, sleep soccer I decided to create a newsletter announcing Real Salt Lakes Home Opener. I looked up the definition of a newsletter to see if this project would fit in the guidelines. Here is the definition of a newsletter: a written report, issued periodically, typically by a business, institution, or other organization, that presents information and news to people with a specific interest in the organization or subject since Real Salt Lake is an organization and this is presenting news to people with an interest to Real Salt lake I decided to create this project.
- I wanted a simple layout that would include alignment and smart objects.
- I used channels on both the logos to copy the RGB that gave me the greatest contrast so that I could make the marching ants to create a layer mask to pull the image into my background. Once I got each soccer teams logo onto the background I made them in smart object because I knew that I would altering the two logos and I did not want to loose any of the pixels.
- Next I used the blending to modes to create a color overlay so they would match the background and each other. I used the opacity slightly to give it make it loo like it was part of the background.
- I used the alignment features to line the two logo up with the text.
- Here are the links of where I got the logos for the soccer teams: https://www.lafc.com/press, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Salt_Lake
