Magazine ads      This first ad uses icons like the PlayStation controller as well as the Switch to show what consoles the esports team uses. I also used the Smash bros and Overwatch logos to help me with this as well.  The next 2 are the same ad are of a library. The reason they are the same is because one is resized to be a full-sized page and quarter page.

The yellow in “Behold Photographic Perfection” echoes the warmth of the sun and subtly contrasts with the cooler blues of the sky and water, helping it stand out without feeling artificial. Meanwhile, the blue used for “By Joel Velez” blends harmoniously w...
