We were assigned a project in which we got a random item from the dollar store and made an advertisement selling it.

I partnered with my classmate Dina to sell a pink “stuffed” monkey labeled “Fuzzy Friend.” We named it Pinky Pal.

Pinky Pal was advertised to be a friend to buy if you don’t have any. We had our English teacher pose with it, and she happened to be wearing an outfit that matched the monkey.

We used Adobe InDesign. Neither of us had used it before, so it was very confusing and frustrating at first.

We somewhat got the hang of it and created the masterpiece shown above.

While designing the page, I learned how to use InDesign-ish. I do know what button (well, some of them) does what though!

I also used Photoshop to remove the backgrounds of the pictures of Dina and Ms. Forsythe, our English teacher.

I learned how to use my creativity and humor (along with Dina’s, of course) to create a masterpiece.

It might not be the best, but we had a lot of fun doing it and learned some pretty neat skills.
