Comedy writing

Hey guys it's Hailee! Hope you had a great day today. Anyway, in this blog post I will explain why is humor such a great character trait. Humor is a great character trait because it makes people laugh and breaks the ice between people during awkward  moments. It also a way to make new friends. So sit back, relax, and keep on reading my tutorial on how to create a really funny joke.

One kind of joke is a  sarcastic joke. Try think about something you dislike then, write that it's like the best thing ever! Like, saying "Homework is fun". Although, make sure your joke doesn't offend anybody. Especially no jokes based on religion, race, gender, etc. Also, you should make sure you check out with an adult if it's offensive to make sure. If you are having trouble coming up with a joke, try to jazz up a classic joke. For an example, most of you guys heard about the chicken that crossed the road, but have you heard about the pig who crossed the whole world just to go to pizza hut? For more help, click on the links on my  that will lead you to my classmates blogs for more information about comedy writing.

So, this weeks project was to create a comedic monologue. I made a joke about alarm clocks being the best thing ever, even though it's not. I wrote all the things I disliked about alarm clocks, but still made it sound like I loved it. I also added visuals to relate to every line.  I think my monologue is funny, because most people don't like alarm clocks and how they make an annoying sound every morning, so I think it would be funny to say "alarm clocks are the best invention ever!!!" Thank you guys for reading my blog and see you next time in my future blog post. Bye!

Motivational Poster


Hi guys! Hope you are having a great National dog's day. As far as my two furry friends Persephone and Kina, they really had a great day. In class we have been doing a photoshop project called "Motivational poster". In this post I will tell you the steps and what is required for this project. So sit back, relax, and and I hope my tutorial will help you in creating your very own motivational poster. In this project I used some photos from my google plus account. 




First,  we need 2 text layers. One text layer is for your manifestos, the other is for your personal quotes. After that, you need to kern or adjust the spacing between a text so it would form a box. While you kern, their should be no blank space left over. It's like a jigsaw puzzle, everything has to fit. Next, you need a picture of yourself. So, I partnered with my friend, Christina. We both took turns taking pictures. Then, we had to upload the photos to the computer for photoshop. After that, we arranged our four photos and made sure they were visually balanced. Then, we had to pick a color from the triadic color wheel. Now you have to use the colors for your photos and text.

I hope that you found my tutorial helpful on making your very own motivational poster. I think the most challenging step is, kerning because you have to adjust the spacing between text and make words either tall, short, narrow, or wide. It takes days! Anyway, stay tuned for my future blog posts. Bye!
