In this lesson we're going to wrap up the part on marketing signage, with a look at wobbler. If we go to the web, we can find on this site, the wobbler is a sign that gets noticed because it's a flexible plastic moveable thing that hangs from the ceiling and gently kind of wobbles in the in the wind. So their printing has a diamond, circle, triangle or a square that you can choose from. And they got a few examples. Let's go to Paint Shop Pro, and open up the wobbler that I created. I chose a diamond. Now my bottom layer is, as usual, this dark blue layer, that this time I created with my rectangle tool with the square. I loaded the dark blue in the fill color, and after I created it I chose the Pick tool, and then rotated it while holding down the Shift key, so that my rotation went in very discrete amounts there. And then I have my diamond. The next few layers are the pictures that I got off the stock photography site, and I chose to orient them again for the woman to look out past you and the man, young man, to be looking right at you from the center of the wobbler. Now for the theme of the flowers, I pulled in this flower and chose to put it on the right side of this triangular diamond surface here. Above that I've got the logo, and then the company name, again, and the location. Those similar elements are consistent throughout all of these marketing designs - logo, name, location, the flower, and pictures of actual people who are wearing the glasses. So you can see here in creating the wobbler, you're using the same elements, you're just arranging them in a different way. So let's call up the other signs that we've done. Here's our banner. Rectangular, it's very narrow, but tall. It's going to hang down from an arm or a ceiling. But you can see the elements - logo, flowers, address, pictures, title. Our cling is round, instead of rectangular. It's got a much larger picture of a flower, but it's got the other similar elements. The counter card, we were able to present a large message, and I used the space there to give breathing room to my content. And my title "Special Offer". The counter mat, able to present like sales choices, or let's say choices between glasses or between lenses let's say, and I've presented that over a semi-transparent gray background, so you can still see the flowers behind that. Table tent. When this is produced, it's going to be folded over as a triangle, like that. So when you create this file in Paint Shop Pro, you're going to have opposite sides. Now if they're going to be the same, like this is, I created one side then duplicated that and flipped it. If you're creating 2 sides that are different, you might want to work in another file so that you can work right side up, and then import it into this file and flip it when you're ready to merge the 2 sides. Tower card. Instead of 2 sides, we now have 3, so we have like 100, or excuse me, 360 degree coverage. And for this I chose to put testimonials under the pictures, and the third side would be information about the company. Alright, you can see everything here uses very similar elements. And in fact, I created the logo one time and pulled it into each file, and with minimal effort. The pictures were very easy to pull in. The flowers I actually took myself. The pictures of the man and the woman were taken off the web at a stock photography site. The blue background, and the yellow with the orange, are all similar elements throughout each one of these signs. So I think we can wrap this lesson up. You've seen how to create a wobbler, but I've also tied together all of the different signage which we've created, and shown you the consistencies of colors, and of elements, but also of the differences in what message is portrayed in each sign, and also the dimensions and the sizes.
