My Ohana

This design assignment was one that I was struggling with earlier in the week. I was trying to use Paint to place text over the image, but I couldn’t figure it out and it was really frustrating. So in order to try and figure things out, I was looking at a lot of examples of the work other people were doing. I was looking for people describing HOW they did things so I could try what they were doing and see how that worked for me.

I saw that PicMonkey was mentioned a few times so I decided to give that a try! It turns out that it worked really easily for me and I was really happy with it! It was very simple and easy to use and I really like the effect I had. I looked at the other people’s works who submitted this assignment, and they all kinda tended to use pictures with their friends, showing them having a good time. So I thought about it and decided to use this one picture of my family from this Easter that I really liked. We’re all being silly (really only me) and I love it!

So I uploaded it to PicMonkey, used the “Dusk” effect to give it kind of a cool effect and added some text to it. I wanted to have something with family in it like “Family Fun” but decided on “Ohana Means Family” just because! :) So here is my album cover, for my  family, which I think would consist of folks songs that you could sing and harmonize with your family!
