Legibility and Text Safe Areas

The purpose of this work was to create a back drop that would "contain and direct attention to a piece's content and message." I chose this icy blue background to signify water. I then cropped out the portion of the picture that I wanted. I chose the portion that was majority light blue. I then added a text layer. In the layer I wrote "You're invited to Elizabeth's Pool" because the blue reminded me of water. I then changed the text to something that I thought went well with the backdrop. I am pleased with how the image turned out, I think the color blue, makes people feel like the water would be refreshing on a hot day, and would want to attend. I think the glow of the text helps it stand out against the blue background.
