Ad Recreation - Before & After
This is an assignment where you have to recreate an ad. I chose this Shoppers ad because it had many colours and seemed like it would be fun to recreate. It was. It sounds difficult and confusing but it's actually quite easy. I did it on a program called "CorelDraw". CorelDraw looks difficult and confusing when you first open it, but don't worry - it's easier than it seems! To get the exact sizes of the things I needed to recreate, I traced each object with the drawing tools on CorelDraw to make everything accurate. Everything was pretty easy until it came to font. It was hard to get the exact font because the program may not have had it, or you may not know the exact font the ad creators used on the original ad. I had to use the most simular font and add lines to it to make it the most accurate I could. You deffinetly have to be creative to do this assignment well. It was one of my favourite assignments and it is a great introducer to CorelDraw.
