Blog Entry #4.9

This project I have met all the design specification.I have met all the requirments everything that was needed to do was done and completed on time, I was asked to do a poster about the country of Seychelles naming some of there inportant details and i did that.This design is better than the other because it looks good and its very clear it goes straight to the point and show exactly what was required.
The two fonts that i used were Roman and Myraid my big word were 92pt and the smaller word were 12pt. I decided to use these fonts because it look much like the ones you see when your looking at touristic sites, our brochure. As my background i decided to use one of the island of Seychelles beach view and the name of the island in the middle with some of the pictures surronding it and the nation things from the country in each corners.For the words i used the colors of the flag witch are green red,yellow,white,and blue.
