Original Exhibit
Background
As I was trying to decide what to create for my portfolio this week, my husband mentioned that he needed to advertise his upcoming course on the Geography of Utah and the American West. So, I decided to create an Instagram ad for his department's Instagram feed.

I used the following Photoshop skills in this design:
- Applied color and a textured filter to the background

- Added text
Design Skills
I employed the following design skills in this design:

Revision
For this revision, I relied heavily on my instructor's suggestions. I really liked how his revisions allowed for more continuity of color and a greater emphasis on the images. I think these changes make the design bolder and a better advertisement for this course.
