Overview Social media is a popular communication medium. Although initially conceptualized as a way for people to share snippets of their lives with their social circle, it has now emerged as a profitable medium for brands to advertise their businesses. Consider this assignment a practice opportunity for the social media advertisement you will create in the course project. Scenario Scoop Shoppe Artisan Creamery is a niche ice cream company that handcrafts small batches of artisanal ice cream daily. It uses all organic ingredients free from artificial additives, preservatives, emulsifiers, and stabilizers. It also offers vegan and lactose-free options. Although Scoop Shoppe is very popular in its own town, the business owners want to expand its reach to the surrounding areas and through online ordering. The owners of Scoop Shoppe have hired you as a freelance graphic designer to create a social media advertisement that effectively communicates their passion for their brand and their brand story. Directions Create a single-page, 1080 x 1080 pixels, 72 dpi social media advertisement mock-up using Adobe Photoshop. Refer to the design brief, brand style guide (PDF and EPS), and brand photography in the GRA 415 Module Two Client Files linked in the Supporting Materials section to inform your work. Your work on this assignment will be refined and developed further in Module Four. Therefore, to avoid additional workload and lack of client (instructor) feedback in Module Four, please ensure that you complete and submit this assignment on time.

Balance: Ensure you give each element in the design appropriate visual space. Simplicity: Ensure each element adds value to the overall design and is free of unnecessary visual details.
