Comedy Writing

Sense of humor is an important character trait because it shows many things about you. It shows that you don't take life too seriously and that you have a funny side to you. It also helps to release stress and lighten your spirit. I believe laughing is one of the best things in life. If you have a good sense of humor, it will help you and the people around you to "loosen up".

There are many tips to help write a humorous narrative. Some are easy and some are not so easy. Here are five of my tips that might help you to write a humorous narrative. You should have a set idea in your head. Once you have this set idea, you can grow off of it and it becomes easier to write the narrative. Humorous narratives don't happen overnight, so it's a good idea to take your time. Make sure your narrative is appropriate for all of your audience. You don't want to offend anyone with your narrative. Test your voice. Practice your narrative in different tones and choose which one fits. Try your humorous narrative on people! You want to make sure it makes people laugh. Don't forget to have fun with it!

My comedic monologue is about braces. I got my braces about five months ago. So far, I have had a "great" time with them. People always come up to me and ask what I think about my braces. Of course they are annoying. You always have food stuck in them and you have to brush many times a day. But they are also fun. I believe my comedic monologue is funny because some people can relate. Even if you don't have braces, you could still imagine the good and bad of them.

Motivational Poster

Our Motivational Poster consists of 6 layer and 3 design requirements. We need 2 text layers, one for our Manifesto and the other for our Personal Quotes. Then, we need 4 image layers, 3 symbolic images that represent who we are, and 1 portrait of our face. For our design requirements, we need to kern both text layers, use a triadic color scheme and have visual balance. Last, we need to use our blending options on our text layers and adjustment layers on our 4 images.

First, I gathered my personal quotes, manifesto & 4 photos and put them into Photoshop. Then, I kerned my text until I was satisfied. Next, I used my triadic color scheme to change the color of my images. Then, I used the other 2 colors from my triadic color scheme to outline and shade my text. Last, I fixed anything I wasn't satisfied with and saved my work.

The biggest challenge for me is kerning. Kerning is the biggest challenge because it takes a while to get it the way you want. You could improve this by planning out what words you want to stand out and what words you want to be normal. Also, you should give yourself a bit of time to edit it and get it to meet your expectations.
