Today’s task was straightforward, as I compared my version of the article to their official designer’s, I concluded several design choices they had and was told to create another article to see if the design will be better.

the draft I was given is about “the summer is almost at an end, it’s time to have one last BBQ party” with 3 of the recipe from LeeKimKee as usual. As soon as I read the title, I’m already imagining 3 scenarios in mind, Beach BBQ, park BBq, or backyard BBQ party. As I wanted a transition between summer and autumn, I needed some obvious elements like the grass color, therefore I chose the head theme with a park BBQ.

Hence I started to create the top image, which all LeekimKee has, I used some simple shapes and colors to structure the frame of the picture, and when I’m satisfied I started searching for assets on Canva, as LeeKimKee’s posts in the past all had illustration as the main style of asset, Canva is the best asset site I could think off.

With several asset grinding, I managed to pack all assets into one image(pic1), when I asked for feedback, they said the picture dose does not feel lively. And the color was a bit off. So I searched for more assets, added more people and found some more vibrant assets, and adjusted the location of each asset (Pic2). now I’m ready to move on.

With the rest of the article, I chose to keep using the theme as the template where it is on the grass and have 1-2 related assets on each section to decorate the post yet make it feel too tight. And with the recipe post, I tried to mimic the slide effect by making that whole section into one layer and wider than the canvas, so when exported it will be a separate image to put in and allows you to swipe.
