For the image enhancement of the press release, I first tried to use voice thread and just put my own words into a picture. I cannot figure out how to imbed it, however, and it only gives me a link.

My second choice then, was something that seemed a bit easier. I used Pixlr to create this picture:

My idea for this was simple...to write a motto about making sure the new outlet for news is "the first thing you read for the day!". This was much simpler to me, and I was able to get the picture on this page, rather than just provide a link.

I chose this route because I am big on pictures, adding something simple to ads, or to websites, or blogs. I think video's are a great idea, but because last week's assignment was just on a press release, I felt a video would be for down the road, for instance the actual site we were announcing. Since our press release was focused on releasing a new media outlet, I felt that as a starting company, we (my pretend company) did not have any video's to post.

I believe any type of eye catching image enhances any sort of post, especially one that is mainly with words. Because my press release focused on a news blog site, with contribution by readers and neighborhood watchdogs, I felt any image with a simple picture of written resources would go well with the message I was trying to get across in the press release. Easy, simple, but full of information.

*If anyone happens to know how I would add the one I made through voice thread, I'd love to figure that out!
