Comedy Writing

Right now I am at school in one of my favorite classes, GT. Currently we are making a humorous narrative. A sense of humor is important as a character trait. For example, if you are humorous you are most likely a happy and funny person. Everyone likes funny and happy people. Also, if you  have a sense of humor, it is really easy to make someone smile, no matter how sad or sour someone might be. Next, everyone likes a good laugh. If you are funny, many people will like you. Finally, having a sense of humor is just a good character trait to have just like being happy.

Writing a humorous narrative is very hard. Here are 5 simple steps to help make it easier. First, you should write something that the reader can relate to. Second, use descriptive yet funny words, like gushy. Also everyone likes random. You could also add smaller jokes in with the big overall jokes. Finally, you should usually have your last line be the funniest line . I hope these steps will help make it easier to write a humorous narrative.


 Coming up with my comedic monologue idea was really hard. I figured out the idea one day while my teacher, Mr. Sander , was talking about one of his students writing a sarcastic joke about braces.  I think I am a sarcastic person and personally I think sarcasm can be really funny. My comedic monologue is funny because, as I said, it's sarcastic. I guess school is okay but not GREAT. Then school lunches look like fake food and not like what it is supposed to look like. In my comedic monologue I say, "The lunch ladies gave pudding even when the menu said they were serving turkey sandwiches." I said this, but really it looks kinda like turkey sandwiches. This is what my joke is about and why I think it is funny.

Motivational Poster

To make the Motivational Poster we had to make layers. First, was the design which started with kerning. I used kerning with making both my text layers fill the whole page with no gaps. Then there is the triadic color scheme, which is when there is 1 dominant color that is harmoniously balanced with 2 accent colors on a color wheel. Next, I had to use visual balance, which is equal distribution of visual weight for artistic appeal. Finally, I had to use the blending option for both my text layers and the adjustment for all 4 of my image layers. These are all the requirements we had to have to make a Motivational poster.

We had many steps that we needed to follow in order to complete our Motivational Poster. First, I needed to make and kern my personal quotes. Next, I needed to make and also kern my manifesto. Then, I downloaded three personal symbols and a portrait of my face. With those pictures I organized them to make visual balance. Last, but not least, I used triadic color scheme to help create my lettering more colorful. These are the steps I took in order to complete my Motivational Poster.

The biggest challenge I had while making my motivational poster was probably kerning. I overcame it by testing tools out. Also, I tried out things and focused on using the tools that I learned. By using the left side tool it made it easier to kern because it made it so I only needed to kern one side of my Personal Quotes and Manifesto. Next time I am going to take it slow and practice so I can improve. My biggest challenge was kerning but I overcame it.
