For the Graphic Design Project, I created a poster that I believe shows how Gamma Phi Beta builds strong girls. My topic for COM 210 is my sorority’s philanthropy – Building Strong Girls. I included photographs of myself and my sorority sisters along with the text that reads “We Build Strong Girls.” The photos demonstrate confidence, sisterhood, and happiness. These qualities strongly relate to building strong people. My hope is for my audience to see these photos and for them to think about our philanthropy.

The photo of myself was taken by my friend Hannah Balcos. The photo of the three of my friends in the red dress was taken by my friend Rylie Dick. The photo of my friend on Bid Day was taken by Mikayla Mars. And the last photo was taken by Alysse Johnson.

In Photoshop, the first thing I did was make the background a light pink using the paint bucket tool. I decided to use light pink because some of the photos already have pink in it and I thought it would flow well with the photos. Light pink is also one of Gamma Phi Beta’s colors, so it fits in well. The next thing I did was add the four photos I thought demonstrated strong girls. I used four photos to show similarity. I decided to use the stroke and drop shadow effects on these photos to give it a casual look to the poster. On top of the poster, I put the text “Gamma Phi Beta” and used the arc tool to give it some shape. Under that, I put the text “We Build Strong Girls.” This was the focus of my poster because it’s our philanthropic mission that we believe very strongly in. Next, at the bottom, I put a text that reads “she is confident, happiness, love, a leader, a true and constant friend, and a sister. She is Gamma Phi Beta.” These are all qualities that our sorority values. I think this poster correlates well with my topic because it is a visual representation of what our philanthropy is about.
