Blog #5: Swatchey Schemey

Image
  Introduction        Throughout all the time I have had to come up with an idea for my brochure, I have decided to do my brochure on housing tiers at High Point University. I plan to have each side of my brochure be a different housing tier, listing all the amenities you get, the cost, the living space, and the residents that are also in your room. I have a lot of knowledge on the housing system at High Point, being a rising Senior.

I wanted to make meme using the iconic Coronavirus spiky ball image, with people on Spring Break in 2020, which is were COVID-19 made its first appearance. The idea within the meme are people on Spring Break smiling for a photo, and COVID-19 is present in the photo.

Honestly, to collect these photos, I searched up  "COVID Spiky Ball", and "people on Spring Break", and got these two images. I thought these two images worked best for this blog.  Moving forward--Preparing Layers     ...
