Reflection–Rhetorical Choices Paper Prompts

• Who is your audience?
• My audience are students who are barely going to get a degree in Graphic design and who would like to know how to make brushes.
  
• What visuals did you choose to include Why? If you included a visual, why did you choose to include this particular visual?
• I included pictures of just about every step for my tutorial. I choose to include these pictures because I think it would make it easier to follow the instructions if you have visuals to go with them.
  
• What are the important or essential design elements of your set of instructions?
• I used PowerPoint to present my instructions, I used PowerPoint because i feel that with it I can make my instructions easier to follow.

Introduction, Requirements, and Conclusion

Introduction

“Grrr…,” you exclaim, “There aren’t any brushes that I would like to use in Photoshop. I wish I knew how to make my own brushes.” You can make your own brushes; it’s not that hard it’s actually quite simple. In this tutorial, I will teach you how to make your own custom brush, so that you can use as a background or just a picture. You will need to know the basics of Adobe Photoshop, some shortcuts and the general layout of the tools on Photoshop.

Requirements

1. Adobe Photoshop CS2 or Higher
2. Computer
3. An image from the internet or your computer
4. Mouse

Conclusion

Now that you have your finished brush, you can use it as a background by changing the brush presets, as I should you before. Using the brush as background adds a little more to your advertisement, or picture. Making your own brush will give you an edge over someone who doesn’t know, because those people who don’t know will be stuck using the defaults that Adobe Photoshop has. While you will be able to use the ones that you have made and created.
