JCOM 2160 Photoshop Photos



With these two photos I added a blurred background, used the burn tool to darken my face, used layers and hue/saturation to whiten our teeth, and fixed the whole picture's hue/saturation.




With these two photos, I used the spot healing tool on my chin, made our eyes extra blue, used the burn tool to darken my face, and used layers and opacity to give my lips more color.

Position Paper Final Draft

This paper will discuss the plan to build the healthy image of Burger Planet. Many people in the demographic that Burger Planet wants to attract have become more health conscious. Many of the women from the focus group conducted by Burger Planet felt guilty about going out for fast food, and are trying to lose weight.

There has been an influx of healthy eating fads that has swept the country. There are reality shows about losing weight, shows on the food network all about eating and cooking healthy and new diet programs popping up daily.

We believe that Burger Planet should cater to those who are beginning to eat more healthy and who would otherwise eat elsewhere if Burger Planet did not carry healthy menu options that would fit with their new lifestyle.

The focus group conducted by Burger Planet showed that many women felt guilty about eating at Burger Planet. With the hiring of Jayne Petersen, we feel that this image will be reduced and we will be able to make the women in our target demographic feel good about eating at Burger Planet. Jayne Petersen is has one of the most successful diet and exercise programs in the country right now. She preaches a lifestyle of moderation and exercise. The new Burger Planet menu items fit into this new lifestyle of moderation and will draw the target demographic back to Burger Planet.

Our recommendation would be that Burger Planet keep Jayne Petersen around for as long as they can and continue to work with her to develop the healthy menu options that Burger Planet should offer. Burger Planet would become the go-to venue for healthy, fast and delicious menu options.

Final Media Pitch

To: Charles McCollum, Editor, Herald Journal
Subject: Cache Valley residents learning to live off of investments

Dear Charles,

There is a group that is currently meeting in Cache Valley to talk about the smart way to invest their money. Their goal is to earn enough passive income that they have freedom to work in an area that they choose. Their next meeting involves a speaker who will teach about reducing spending and new credit laws.

They meet every other Thursday night at the Cache Valley Chamber of Commerce. They are always looking for new members and I felt that your readers would really enjoy more information about achieving financial independence. Their website is www.cvaia.com if you would like more information, or e-mail me at jacklynnicole@gmail.com.

Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) teaches people how to increase passive income. CVAIA embraces the Law of Attraction, Law of Abundance, and Law of Exchange. They practice the methods found in the ideologies of books including Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, Atlas Shrugged, The Automatic Millionaire, and The Secret. CVAIA began in August 2007 and now has members from many geographical locations and from all walks of life. The members come together with the same belief: that education mitigates the risks of investing.

My phone number is 555-555-5555 if you would like more information or would like me to set up any interviews for you.

Thanks,
Jacklyn Schwartz

Cache Valley Area Investors Association

Cache Valley is learning to be financially independent.

LOGAN, UT—The CVAIA meets twice a month to help the members of the association learn to become financially independent.

Preston Parker founded the CVAIA in 2007 to help the people in Cache Valley to have a forum to discuss investment strategies. Parker saw the need for a forum for investors to discuss how they make their “passive income” become enough to live off of eventually.

Passive income is the money that you have invested that is being earned while you are not working; it is money that works for you. When investments become enough to live off of, there is much more freedom in employment. Parker says, “everyone should be doing something that they love.” Investing to being earning large amounts of passive income is the way to accomplish this.

CVAIA meets every other Thursday at the Cache Valley Chamber of Commerce. Visitors who want to learn about increasing their passive income are welcome to attend.
